Cruise Views Part Three...

Off to Grand Cayman we went!!! I really liked it in the Cayman Islands...so I think Cory and I will move. There really is just one teeny problem: it's a little pricey. We learned that it costs about $100,000 for every foot of land there. Hmmm. Guess Euless is looking pretty good!


Since Grand Cayman is a pretty small place, there isn't a pier. So, you get to take these fun boat taxis from the ship to the shore. In cruise language they are called Tender Boats. For most peopl taking the cruise, they are called a pain in the butt. For me they were a highlight of the trip!!! But hey, we all knew that I am a little off, right??!!! Seriously...I thought it was way fun to get on this little boat and be on the ocean. Plus, check out the cool pic of our ship!!!


There is a town in Grand Cayman called Hell. Thankfully we went there and managed to make it back!!!!!


Cory, Brenda, and Charlie in Hell. The whole reason for the name is this: one day a while back a British dignitary visited and said, "This place looks like hell." That's it...and the reason he said that is because there are some very strange looking coral formations that have pushed up above the surface of the water.


We went to a Turtle Farm!!! I was absolutely thrilled to hold the turtles!!! In fact, I was so excited that I held three different ones! Ha! Plus, we have a ton of cool pictures of turtles now. Isn't he so cute? They like it when you rub the underside of their necks...just a little tip in case you happen to hold a sea turtle soon!


Here is a sample of the towel art that our stateroom attendent, Richard, did for us every evening. Since the big thing to do in Grand Cayman is swimming with stingrays, we got this design on our night in Cayman. Just a little side note...Cory went to a class to learn how to fold the towels into cool animals, so if you are having a party, he is for hire!!!
