Days 1-2 (November 9-10, 2023): Off to the Caymans!
Last December 29th, we booked air tickets and a hotel for a few days in the Cayman Islands. It seemed like a long way away at the time, but time zips by quickly, as we all know. After a busy Fall that saw David retire on September 14th and Pam going at a crazy pace with her school and music work, the thought of a break in the sunny south started to excite us more and more as the Fall months progressed. Added to the excitement was the fact that our longtime friends, Andy and Nicole Johnson from Calgary, agreed to join us for the trip. So with all that excitement in our pockets, here is the story of our short trip to the Cayman Islands, situated south of Cuba and west of Jamaica. We had a late-night flight to Montreal, with a short sleep in a hotel near the airport. The next morning, we were up at 4:30AM to get an American Airlines flight to Charlotte, North Carolina and a connection onward to Grand Cayman. All went perfectly according to schedule...
