Grand Cayman's Holiday... No bad back is gonna keep me down!

Wow... we have arrived... Tired but happy to be here!  Jerry and Jean's day started yesterday, at about 10:30 am... flew to Minneapolis and hooked up with Halley and Katie. Spent the night (from 7:30pm till 3 am ... didn't really get much sleep) at an airport hotel only to wake up at  said 3am to get dressed again, get the shuttle and head back to the airport.  Very interesting... The airport only has only ONE security line open that early.  Yet, there were plenty of folks there.  A gentleman saw us with Halley using her walker so we got to get in a special line that sped us along.  Not many perks to being handicapped, but once in a while there are some benefits.
Left Minneapolis, where it was 9 degrees, went to Atlanta, where it was pouring rain (and we had the wet luggage to prove it) and warmish.  We then got to the Cayman's... 82 Degrees... felt good.  We could see a cloud bank hanging on down in the Georgetown Area, where the cruise ships drop anchor.  As long as the clouds stayed there, we were happy. They encroached on our area just for a tiny bit, but then went away. 
Arrived at the condo by 2:00pm... and it is beautiful!  First floor unit, you can walk right out your patio to the pool and then the beach and sea is right beyond that.  We all unpacked, Jerry caught up on some work stuff, the girls got their internet connections all going.. life is good when they have internet.  They can get to their Social Media Accounts and not pay roaming fees. Happy Campers!
Lounged at the pool, then hit the grocery store ($200 worth of snacks and breakfast meals).  Had an early dinner at Edorado's... a great Italian Place.  The girls did dessert takeout... I'm still stuffed, but their sweet treats sure looked yummy.... a decadent, rich chocolate cake... but, I can't eat anymore!
I'm barely holding my eyelids open.... With my pills for my back and the lack of sleep, I think I'm getting ready to zone out! 

To my Diva friends... recognize this tag????
   
Getting ready to leave Atlanta....
 
All unpacked... we're gonna veg out around the pool... there's those clouds I was talking about....
 
Katie posing in the pool!

Figures, when there's finally a picture of me, it's so far away you can't tell...
but then again, I'm not complaining... Oh wait, I am complaining... must be the drugs!
That is our unit right behind me: the screened in deck. To the left of that porch, is the open porch off our bedroom.  A bit of paradise easily describes this place!  

Halley...
 
So this guy in this Jet Pack went by as we were laying out there... Something to see... He could get up pretty high...

 
Weird Picture... At an interesting angle... The ship is actually miles away... just doesn't seem that way...
 
Ahhhhh, the life!
