We left the chilly, damp weather on Thursday and after a quick meal with Halley in snowy and freezing Minneapolis , we arrived here in the Grand Cayman Islands , via Atlanta , right about lunch time… and the weather here is spectacular! Warm and not too muggy at all! Saw the Florida Keys from the air… the long bridge connecting all the Keys was really obvious! We even flew over a part of Cuba …
We arrived here, unpacked and hadn’t been here more than a half hour, and we were walking down the beach to take a dip in the beach…. Followed by a pool chaser…
We truly recognize just how blessed we are!
Found a local eatery… on the water and not really noticeable from the main drag unless you knew it was there. Great meal, yummy drink and my first experience with Wahoo (type of fish) and Jerk Seasoning…. Hot, hot, hot… I loved it! Jer had some Wahoo too, but his was grilled… much more to his liking.
Looking forward to Jillian and Maryanne arriving tomorrow…

Laying around the pool after our dip in the ocean, this was my view.... Oh yeah... I think I'm gonna like it here!...
I can't wait to see more of your photos and to read about the adventures you will have out there. Safe Journeys.
ReplyDeleteJean - Glad you are enjoying Grand Cayman. Looks like some great accommodations. I was on the island for several days in 1980. I have not been back, but I have heard it is much different now. For example, Seven Mile Beach did not have one hotel at that time. I was with a group and we stayed at a small resort that had no room keys - not needed according to the proprietor. I recall some sunken ships right in town that you could dive to without much effort. Be sure to go to the Turtle farm and Hell - the conch fritters are good too.
