At the Royal Palms/Grand Cayman
Thursday, February 12, 2015
Sunny, high 70s
We were up early this morning to meet Brian and Nancy to disembark on the tender. Tenders from the ship are used in Grand Cayman because of the delicate structure of the coral reefs that seem to surround this area. We did not wait long and the breeze was cool as we “sailed” into the port. The four of us hailed a taxi for Royal Palms, a resort area on seven miles of beaches. Donna and Lawrence are still working on their private photo shoot.
Royal Palms is beautiful and the beach is sandy white. There certainly is a great difference between Grand Cayman and Erie, Pennsylvania today. When we got here at 8:30 a.m., we had our choice of beach chairs and tables at the open bar area. Now, an hour and a half later, the chairs and tables are almost packed full. We rented 4 chairs, an umbrella, and a table for si. Doris, our Royal Palms server, is taking good care of us! We noticed that the NCL Epic (4600 passengers), the Carnival Triumph (the ship of infamy a year or two ago—lost power for several days and hobbled back to port), Holland America Eurodam, and our ship----lots of people!
More later! I did not sign up for Wi-Fi on the ship this time and it is driving me crazy! I miss you, my family and friends. H and D—it won’t be long before we are playing WWF again! I hope B1 and B2 are having basketball fun and fun in the snow! Brother Bill and Marge are probably watching the weather carefully for when the maple tree sap will be running. Friend M is back from her special getaway and I can’t wait to hear about it. I’m so glad I was able to talk with Randy and Brian while we were just in New Orleans to catch up with them. I hope D is still enjoying her new job and that C is anticipating our trip to DC in April. B1 and B2 probably have some sort of break for Presidents Day.
