Snorkling, scuba, parasailing, jet skis, swimming, submarine rides, glass bottom boats, an amazing turtle farm, shopping and dining are among the great options in Grand Cayman.
The famed Seven Mile Beach is one of the Caribbean's most beautiful shore lines with marvelous sand. There are eating huts scattered along the beach with exceptionally good hamburgers and other interesting beach food and cold beverages.
I just love to piddle in warm water and ride the gentle waves off shore. So, Seven Mile Beach is the place for me, yesiree! I've swum, swammed, swimmed there till they had to drag me out. You can find small, but lovely pieces of white coral with your toes in the shallow water off the beach. I took a few pieces home for decorations in my baths. It was so much fun being on that beach. I also really worked up a great appetite for the steamed crab legs I selected for dinner back aboard that evening.
We're hoping to have a FReeper Day on the beach where we can frolic en masse for a great day.
Folks, get your reservations in now if you're planning to go. As we explained at the top of this thread, the reality is that if there's no interest, there's no cruise. The good news is that some reservations are coming in. Election week was a distraction (a happy distraction) but now we have to get down to some serious registratin' out der!

You want to be careful trying to bring back the black variety, though. There are customs restrictions on its importation.
There'll be one more, come Thursday. The only thing I'm waiting on is to make darned sure that my company doesn't want me to fly to Japan and/or China during that time. (I'm going to miss CPAC as it is due to an unscheduled, last-minute side trip; b***ards ...).
I will be going and I will find a djembe drum in Ocho Rios if it kills me. Its just not an Amtgard event without somebody playing a decent djembe, and the only one our drummer has sounds like an oatmeal box.
