Grand Cayman

Spent a week on the island.  It was my vacay before the dreary winter starts.  This was the end of the rainy season but before the tourist season.  It was as wonderful as I expected.  There were good and bad days.  The week started off rainy but we got good walks on the beach in, good time just reading and doing nothing but relaxing and getting re-acquainted with each other again.  The sunny days were spent on the beach, island tour and also sting ray city/sandbar with snorkeling.  The nights were spent having yummy food (totaly sabotaged my diet, oh well) and alcholic beverages and hanging out at the beach bar next door.  Mudslides became the drink of choice most of the time and definitely learn that me and Irish Bailey's and whiskey really don't agree, found a Ben Stiller look alike as bartender, getting some creative free drinks. Also participated in a hypnosis show one night, one of those things that I'm not sure I'll do again.  Of course, we went to Hell.  :)

The girls were great, caught up with Kirstin and Krista and got to know Gretchen (Kirstin's childhood friend).  I think by the end of the trip, we agreed that we should totally do something like this again.  I think the talk is somewhere close for next year and possibly Cuba the year after.  So far just talks, we'll see how much of it will come true.

Here's some pics
