Well Burbs, anywhere I,ve been that has a good tourist industry has lifted the local economy way higher than their govt could. 1.2 million tourists a year to Aruba, it's all they do and they live well because of it. A 5 dollar tip equals their daily wage in some parts of Mexico. As tourists, we have given them a hand up, and it is all new money for their economy. So travel some Burbs and share the love....

Nothing against my back yard but have
seen lots of the world this winter.
Once the combines were parked we spent a
week in Times Square so momma could get
her shopping fix. Sure glad we beat
Sandy. Then did some golfing, biking
and hiking in Arizona. Our youngest is
going to school in Germany so we spent
Christmas there drinking beer and eating
wiener schnitzel). New Year's in Prague
was interesting. Now were soaking up
the sun north of Puerto Vallarta. Each
spot has its own special uniqueness.
Hope to get some sledding in the
mountains in March. Still haven't found
shangri-la yet, but going to keep
looking. Very thankful to be blessed by
making a living on the prairies though.
I wasn't very impressed with Hawaii but
then I only saw Oahu. Napa Valley area
in the fall ranks up there pretty high
for me so far. You can have a great
time anywhere if you're with the right
crowd.

Saskfarmer if you want a laid back holiday leave Gran Cayman and go to Cayman Brac, very quiet, no traffic, no traffic lights and no crime.

I read a lot about it and would like to see it in the time were their.
But is flying the only way from the Cayman to get their or can you go by boat.
Their is a island that is just swimming distance from shore that looks awesome.

[mustardman]

The twin otter costs about $60 for a 40 minute trip. I don't think theres a boat. There is a fairy starting up between the Brac and little cayman

[mustardman]

By the way , the island your seeing is Little cayman population 150. When you really want to escape go there but take alot of reading.

[mustardman]

And between reads dive the Bloody Bay Wall and report back

Mustard we like to disagree lots but traveling to
interesting places is fun. When were you their.

You were down in Cancun a few years back when I was down their if I recall.

Over all what was your impression of the Cayman.
Seems three weeks may be a little long since its such a small island.
Oh well we will know in a few hours.
