This morning we work up early and prepared to leave our house. I said goodby to my tiny coconut tree that we planted on the beach. He has to make it on his own now. I will not be there to water him anymore.
The air was very still this morning and the water was super smooth. We just had to take our kayaks out. We glided along effortlessly. We just didn't want to get out of the water. It was so pretty.
Richard managed to get all the hurricane shutters on. We finished off all our food and washed dishes. We rinsed off our kayaks and put them in the house. We drained pipes and shut off the power and pump. There were many things to accomplish. We did a last sit in the hammocks and took them down. The little gecko that lives by our steps came out to say goodby. He has become very friendly. I wonder if he will remember us when we return?
This trip to our new house has been such an adventure. We enjoyed every minute of it. It is so exciting to know we can come back next year.
At 3:00 we loaded up the rental car and headed for the airport. After dropping off our luggage, we headed to Iggy's "Hungry Iguana". I had a pina colada and Richard had a Corona. We saw our airplane arrived so we ran over and got on. It was only us and one other girl on board.
After about 25 minutes we arrived at the Grand Cayman airport. We got a cab and went to our hotel on 7 Mile Beach. Then we had a very nice meal at a open air restaurant on the waters edge. Tomorrow morning we catch an early plane to Chicago and then on to Des Moines. Hope it won't be too cold.
