Cayman Islands - Day One and Two

We are back from our vacation in the Cayman Islands. It was the three of us, plus our friends Jeff and Jaime and their two kids Bridgette and Abby. We had a fantastic time - the weather was PERFECT every day. High of 85, low of 75 every day. It was a humid and sunny every day. You get the picture - it was awesome weather all the time. We stayed in a two-bedroom townhouse timeshare on the East End of the island. It had three pools and was right on the beach. It worked out really well for meals because there was a full kitchen. We only went out a couple times, which saved money and probably our sanity because three kids out at a restaurant doesn't always work out!

We arrived on a Friday afternoon around 4pm. We checked in, unpacked and walked around the resort. We had dinner at the hotel and went to bed fairly early, after a long day of travel.

On Saturday we spent the morning at the beach and the pool. We headed in to Georgetown (the capital) around lunch time, to both have lunch and pick up groceries. The drive was around 45 minutes or so, even though the island isn't all that large. On the way into town we stopped at Caybrew, which is the brewery for the local island beer. It was a very light lager - a refreshing taste for the warm weather. The best part was the free sample that we got at the brewery was a whole 16 ounce pint each! Needless to say, that was not the last time we stopped at the brewery!

Sounds like a fun trip, glad you guys had a good time. I have to say I'm a bit jealous. The thermometer says 24 degrees this morning. I'd love a few days in nice warm weather and away from my construction zone. :)
