GRAND CAYMAN

The last stop on our Caribbean trip was Grand Cayman Island yesterday. Our family split up, as Marc, Chandra, Laila, and Patty went off on a shore excursion called Turtles, Turtles, & more Turtles. They were bused to a location away from the downtown area where they swam & snorkled with sea turtles of all sizes. When they got back, everyone said it was a great adventure, and Laila took to snorkling for the first time, like a duck to water.

Mike, Amy, and I took one of the shuttle tenders into the middle of the shopping district, and walked toward Margaritaville, which was visible from the dock. Just past Jimmy's place, we stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe, where we had some beverages, and bought a few T-shirts. Next door was Grand Cayman Harley-Davidson, so being Harley owners, we had to check it out. There is no actual dealership on Grand Cayman, but someone has a license from the motor company for an apparel business. I didn't purchase anything, but Mike got a nice button up shirt that had the Grand Cayman name on it.

Amy has momentarily become a pirate!

After spending an hour or so in the shopping district, I headed back to the ship, while Mike & Amy did some more shopping. Just before I left, Amy took this picture of Father & Son, with the ship in the background.

Our dinner last night was the 2nd dress up night, and even though everyone forgot their cameras, the ships ever present photographers came around to our table for a few pictures.
Laila spent her third night with us, while the two brothers and their wives went out on the town, I mean ship.

This morning, we woke up to a calm seas, and as I write this, we're rounding the western tip of Cuba, heading toward Miami. Tomorrow morning, we'll awaken where we started, and the this wonderful time with family will almost be over.
