Grand Cayman Baby!!!
















So we have arrived...safely and with all our luggage. The trip was uneventful with the exception of the snow fall warning in Toronto (the plane took off just in time)! So the five of us (Bill, his Dad, Ryan, his son Hayden and myself) have been here for 3 and a half days now, the half day we arrived in Cayman around 5pm dropped our bags at the condo put on shorts and headed for Coconut Joe's and a traditional Mudslide (a very good local drink), then to bed early because we hadn't slept in a long time. The first full day took us to the grocery store and then the boys headed for the beach to finish some of the diving for their open water course and while they were under I snorkeled. Days 2 and 3 have found us up early and heading to the boat for our days of boat diving. There's been a good breeze and sunny sky's, water temp has been about 80 degrees and the fish have been friendly. We've seen so much, from angel fish to turtles, huge tarpon to sting rays. We've done 5 dives and Hayden has discovered a love of wreck diving. The trip has been great and we're all having a great time. We've all discovered some part of each of us is burnt, and we all feel a need to head for bed around 9 o'clock most nights. But we're all having a great time, and can't wait to see what we see tomorrow.
