I love this place!

Of all the islands or places I have visited thus far, Grand Cayman takes the cake! I absolutely loved this island and GC has been the first island in the Carribean that I have actually stated before I left her shores "I'll be back!" Even post Ivan, GC is extremely beautiful. I can't wait to go back after the foilage has grown back in & construction is completely done, but neither of those factors detoured me from falling in love with this island. From it's gorgeous beaches, incrediable sunrises & sunsets, stately homes, variety of topside activites and fantastic diving, Grand Cayman is a class act and in a category all by herself! Not to mention the pirate theme that saturates the island. Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of Rum!

Diving is the best I have seen

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Fantastic Snorkeling and Diving
  • Cons:Can be expensive/Stores close at 6:00 & Sundays/Fast becoming a non-smoking island
  • In a nutshell:Something for everyone

    Grand Cayman looks amazing, I had it narrowed down to GC and Aruba, Aruba won this time but maybe next time :-)

    Works for me! Think we could get Marleine to take us in during hurricane season if we whined piteously enough and brought her coconuts and fresh lobsters?

    Nice pics! You might want a red filter for the front of your camera, it will remove a lot of the 'ocean big blue'
