Blog interruption

Hello Blog fans!

We interrupt the regularly scheduled (okay so perhaps a new defintion of "regularly scheduled" is in order) to bring greetings from the Westin hotel on Grand Cayman. It's a little cloudy today but nevertheless a good time was had by all after a catamaran trip to a sandbar to mingle with stingrays. Who knew such creatures would love having their bellies rubbed  by humans? Some of our species actually kissed them. I did not partake of the stingray smooch just as I did not indulge in the giraffe buss at Giraffe Manor.

We 've had a great time here mostly because this was a small conference. Last night we were given a pre-loaded card to swipe for wine tastings at a local establishment. Everyone loved it and in fact all of the activities have been fun and well received.

The sea water is about 83 as is the air and the sand is clean and beautiful to look at and walk on. The island itself is more reminiscent of Hawaii, Bermuda or perhaps the Bahamas. They have good roads and no visible poverty. If you like the various Caribbean island cultures this is not the place for you. I suspect you are all looking forward to winter escapes as we understand it's full throttle winter at home. Boo hoo - we'll be there tomorrow!
