Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

Blowing Bubbles in the Caymans!

Houston to Charlotte, Charlotte to Grand Cayman, Grand Cayman to Little Cayman was my itinerary for the day.  met up with the dive group in the Grand Cayman airport, and jumped on the puddle jumper to Little Cayman.  We settled into our rooms, had dinner and crashed!  We were assigned to a boat, met the crew, and began our week of diving on Little Cayman.  The weather was very windy, and the seas were rough at times, with not great viz! Only got to dive Bloody Bay Wall 2-3 times because of conditions.  Our rooms were nice, the boats were new, big, and very nice..... and the food was amazing!  All they had to do was ring the dinner bell and we filed in like cattle to find some delicious dishes.  Our spare time was spent in the hot tub, chilling in the pool, holding down a hammock, or hanging out at the bar with a Mojito or Mudslide! Tammy was my roommate and we got along great!  I enjoyed diving with Lisa.....she would hang out with me under the boat hunting for creatures if my knee needed a rest. It was a great trip and I enjoyed meeting the other divers.

After spending the week with this group it was time to fly back to Grand Cayman and meet up with my friends, Dennis and Tamara for nine more days of diving.   Tamara and I arrived, as Dennis had flew in earlier....unpacked and settled into their condo.  I took the next day off to rest my knee, wash clothes and get my dive gear and camera together.  We did two morning dives, then had the afternoon off to chill out by the pool.  Dennis had planned all the menus, shopped and spoiled us with his delicious meals. Mojitos delivered to the pool were .....Awesome!  The weather was good most of the time and we got in some good dives, saw lots of marine life, and had a great time. We indulged in yummy ice cream by stopping the ice cream truck on Sunday....it was delish...my treat!!!
Finally after sixteen days it was time to head home....back to my hubby!  We said our goodbyes and I thanked my gracious host for a wonderful nine days in Grand Cayman.
