Grand Cayman

Gibson about to get in the water with the Stingrays.
Why he needed his snorkel was beyond me...he put it on anyway.
All geared up!

Here are some of the pictures from Grand Cayman. I wish I had taken more, but it is kinda annoying to ask people to take your picture all the time. Anyway, we had a GREAT trip. Grand Cayman is beautiful, but EXPENSIVE...so just be prepared if you go! We started off at the Marriott... I do NOT recommend it. The rooms/resort were fine. Resort was kinda small itself, but physically it was fine. The SERVICE was another story. It was HORRIBLE, I mean AWFUL. We checked out early and moved to the Ritz Carlton which was WONDERFUL. Rooms were good, service was good, beach was good, everything was good. We stayed at the Westin after we left there and they had even called the Westin b/c Gibson left a pair of shorts in our room. Someone had to have been paying attention when I mentioned that we were staying at the Westin after we left there....who, I have no clue, but they did. Anyway, the Westin was great too. Our room was LITERALLY right on the beach, I loved it. The service was pretty good too. Granted its hard to top the service at the Ritz, but it comes with a price too...18% is added to EVERYTHING. The Westin never added a service fee, which was nice. Yes, I always tipped, but leaving $5 every time I got a drink was a little overrated. Anyway, we had a great trip. Ate at lots of great restaurants, went to the parade for Pirate's Week, went to Stingray City, went to Hell...yes, it is a place! And were just lazy. I read 5 books while we were there. Anyway, if anyone is going the Ritz or the Westin are both wonderful. The other thing I loved about he island was that it was VERY safe and clean. Lots of Americans and Canadians. Some friends of ours from Greenville are in Medical School there, so we had a GREAT tour guide. Jennifer and Castlin came and played alot with us, which was great. We GREATLY appreciated them showing us around. That's about it....
