We made it! What a day. I woke up at 2:00 A.M. and stayed in bed until 3:00 thinking I could sleep another hour but no dice! It has been a busy time getting ready to make the trip to Little Cayman this year. Somehow I seem to be worrying more about everything lately. I did everything there was possible to do to get ready for the trip this year. We adjusted the suitcases over and over to make sure they were all underweight. We didn't want any over charges this year. We headed out the door a little before 4:30 to pick up Brandon in Ankeny.
Our weather has been very cold and harsh this winter and they predicted a blizzard for our flight to North Carolina from DesMoines. Luckily, it was just 40 mph winds but no snow. We got to the airport to check in and they charged us an extra $90.00 for overweight bags!!! I was shocked! We were so careful packing. How could this happen? Once again, I say next year will be different. This will not happen again.
The plane ride from Des Moines was a small cramped plane that I was relieved to get off of in North Carolina. We had an early lunch at the airport and got on our plane for Grand Cayman . It was a wonderful big luxury ship!! It was comfy and warm too. With the help of my new inflatable neck pillow, I even took a nap. How nice!
Arriving in Grand Cayman was heavenly! A balmy 82 sunny degrees! It could not have been more perfect! We are thrilled to be here. We ate dinner at Casanova by the Sea. It is an authentic Italian restaurant and all the servers are Italian. This place was chosen as Brandon loves pasta. I had fresh Mahi Mahi and it was to die for!! WOW!!! I will certainly eat there again. We ate over the water and couldn't have been happier.
We will not be shopping this year as today is Sunday and nothing is open, not a thing!!! Turns out tomorrow is a holiday and nothing is open then either! There are so many things I want to buy and can't shop for a thing. Darn!! I guess we will have to fly over again later and shop. This means we have to buy more airline tickets. The adventure continues. I can't wait to get to the house tomorrow.
