Thank you bloggers!

The day has arrived!! It is July 13th already, wow, where has the time gone?! This summer is flying by!   You are probably wondering what is so important about the 13th of July? Well, ladies and gentlemen it is my last day for my electronic management class. If you are not familiar with the class, that is ok. I will fill you in. I took an electronic management class that lasted for four weeks this summer. Our task was to make a blog and a website about anything we are passionate about. Well, I am passionate about traveling! I thought that was too broad of a subject so I narrowed it down to the Cayman Islands since I just visited the island, and I wanted to know more about the island for your sake and mine!

All of the attractions, sites, information I researched was fun to put together and I learned a LOT, hopefully it had the same effect for all of you. So, I just want to thank you guys! Thank you for reading my posts and I would love to hear your feedback, so please do not hesitate. I would love to hear if any of my information was useful or if you have some pointers to help me in my future blogs (since this was my first one, so be easy on me!). So start planning your next vacation to the Cayman Islands and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions! Please visit my website also, there is a little more about me, articles, and even a store! So, click here to visit!! THANK YOU BLOGGERS!!

Kittiwake

Good morning everyone!! Today I am going to share a dive site with you that caught my attention because I found it very interesting. The dive site is called Kittiwake and it is a shipwreck attraction. You can snorkel above it because it starts at only 15 ft from the surface. By snorkeling, you would have the chance to see the main decks and the design of the ship. By diving, you can explore the bottom which is about 65 ft. The Kittiwake is protected by law in Cayman, so you can not touch or take anything from the ship. This is a newer dive site and is a beautiful artificial reef that is continuously growing for more and more ocean life to discover for divers.

I bet you are wondering the background of this ship and wondering why it is such a big deal. Well, it was said that after a 9-day journey through an ice storm that the former Chanticleer Class Submarine Rescue Ship, U.S.S Kittiwake,  reached the Cayman waters. It was in service from 1945 through 1994. The ship's most well known duty was the recovery of the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster. On January 5th, 2011, there was a salute to the honorable Kittiwake's sinking. Well, that is the background of the Kittiwake, and now it is a wreck surrounded by marine life. You might find some surprises and experience huge groupers hanging out, squirrelfish, and urchins. If you want more information on the history or the site itself about entrance fees to see the site that helps the protection and maintenance of the ship, please visit the website!

Camana Bay

Camana Bay is yet another place you go visit while in the Cayman Islands. Camana Bay is around 500 acres from Seven Mile Beach all the way to North Sound, Grand Cayman. This cute town is designed to be pedestrian-friendly with pretty landscaped walkways and bike paths. There are also gardens, courtyards, and parks that go along with the Caribbean inspired architecture that surround the whole town.

It is the perfect touristy town because you can find everything there in town. There are wonderful restaurants, shops, and even entertainment, which includes the only movie theater on the island and other attractions. The restaurants vary extremely from prices to food to sceneries so you are sure to find something everyone is in the mood for! If you love to shop, this is also the perfect place for you. You can find duty-free shops with jewelry, local retailers and international brands.

Community events, festivals, and traditions take place here at the Town Centre. This also includes the awesome farmer's markets available where local vendors sell produce, crafts, and other unique foods related to the island. This town even has music play every Friday! So this is a great hang out for locals and tourists. You can find just about anything and everything to do here to cater towards someone's desire. You will get a taste of great tradition and heritage of the island from these events. It is something to do that will not only be fun but it can put meaning behind your visit, and also pick up a souvenir to go home with!

Bird Watching

I cannot believe it is already Thursday, July 12th! I only have one more day of this electronic management class I am doing this blog for. Wow, time flies. Well anyway, I want to share another interesting fact with you about the Cayman Islands. As I stated multiple times before when I was sharing information about scuba diving and other wildlife that the Cayman Islands has a strong commitment to conservation and environmental protection, not for just the ocean but also the land. The Cayman Islands are also known for birds. People go to the islands to bird watch and see unique birds you will not see anywhere else. The Cayman Islands are the home to a variety of bird species and a lot of other birds that make Cayman Islands their home away from home. In the peak season, you could find a up to 200 different species of birds!

Grand Cayman has seven different protected bird sanctuaries, which include the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, Colliers Pond, Salina Reserve, and Majestic Reserve. Cayman Brac is the home to a 180 acre parrot reserve where you can find rare and endangered parrots, such as the Brac Parrot. Little Cayman's pond reserve protects the brown and red-footed boobies. This is where you will find the largest population for red footed boobies in the world. The Islands are homes to plenty to species. So not only is the Cayman Islands known for the beautiful sceneries, top destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling, but it is also known for the wildlife.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is the Cayman Islands is the best and easiest underwater adventure and an activity the whole family can participate in. If you do not know how to snorkel the Cayman Islands is probably the best place to learn. The water is crystal clear with a great visibility.  All ages can do this sport unlike scuba diving. You can start teaching your toddlers or even bring your grandparents to discover the ocean. You can even have an instructor in the Cayman Islands teach you how and get feedback and pointers from an experienced snorkeler. When you have your own equipment, you can go whenever you want, so it is probably the best to invest in your own snorkel set. (Plus, you will not have to borrow used snorkels!) You could snorkel off the shore where you are staying, you can go snorkeling with a dive operation, or you can go while you are at the beach.

You can see beautiful coral, pet and swim with stingrays, look at schools of fish, and even see a sea turtle swim right below you. I know I mentioned before how the Cayman Islands is a top destination for scuba diving, well it is a top destination for snorkeling too. If you do not feel safe to venture out by yourself, you can go with a tour guide/dive operation. You can visit Stingray City to take a half-day cruise with lunch and stop at several different sites to go snorkeling and even watch divers below you.

Throwback

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! So, as you probably noticed this blog is all about the Cayman Islands. Some of you have been reading my blog since I started writing, hopefully. If not that is ok! Today, I am going to fill you in on some of the top attractions that I wrote perviously! If you are interested in something just click on the link to read my post with more detail! :)

1. Stingray City - Want to pet stingrays? You can stand in 3 feet of water and you will be surrounded by about two dozen stingrays all by natural habitat. You touch, pet, and feed a stingray, along with snorkeling by coral reefs and seeing tropical fish. This is an experience of a lifetime!

2. Cayman Turtle Farm - Visit the turtle farm and see a breeding pond filled with hundreds of HUGE sea turtles. You can pick up a year old sea turtle, if you can catch them. Turtles are not the only animal at the park, you can see Caribbean birds, sharks, barracuda, and even a crocodile! You can go snorkeling with turtles and other marine life.

3. Dolphin Discovery - Here is your chance to swim with the dolphins! The package includes the Dolphin Royal Swim, which includes several different behaviors of the dolphins, such as swim, kiss, hug, and free time with the dolphins.

4. Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park - Come see the home of Caymans's National Flower, the Wild Banana Orchid. If you love nature, wildlife, and flowers, this would be the perfect fit. This park contains more than 50% of the native flora of the Cayman Islands.

5. Hell, Grand Cayman - Hell is located in West Bay, Grand Cayman. It is a group of black, limestone formations. They are spiky and kind of creepy looking. Also, visit the Hell Post Office and send a postcard saying you visited Hell. I mean you are being literal... 

Enjoy!

Cayman Islands Submarines

Hello fellow bloggers! So do you still want to experience the well-known underwater life of the Cayman Islands but do not have the resources to start scuba diving, or do not have the time to keep up your license, or you are not interested in scuba diving, or you do not want to leave some of your family members behind? There are plenty of reasons why some people just simply do not want to scuba dive, which is ok! It could even be quite scary to think about being underwater 100 feet. Well, I came across a perfect substitution...

Take the Cayman Islands Submarine to experience the ocean on a real submarine. The Atlantis XI Submarine was designed for underwater site seeing. It is air conditioned for your comfort and is maintained at sea level pressure, which means your ears will not pop! You can explore the waters up to 100 feet just like scuba diving, just with more relaxation! This can be for all ages so make it a family event! There is a co-pilot to explain what you are seeing on the tour, which lasts a hour and half. You will have the chance to see coral, sponges, groupers, snappers, schools of fish, and an occasional turtle and stingray. This is a great day activity to take part in! But that is not all they have to offer! You can also do a night time submarine dive! This is a whole different experience. You will get to see different colors and different creatures of the sea! For more information visit the website. Click here to see!

Watersports

I focused a lot of my posts previously on underwater sports such as scuba diving and snorkeling, which is what the Cayman Islands are known for. So do not hesitate on those activities like I said before! Since spending time on the water is the number one thing to do while you are on your Caribbean vacation. Think about which you want to do first, fishing, paddle boarding, jet skis, parasailing, kiteboarding, etc. Another plus, is you can do this year young in the Cayman Islands! I will tell you a little more about some of the activities if you continue to read.

Jetskis - You can ride or stand on while riding a motorized watercraft catching the waves and cruising with a lot of speed. There is a range of different types of jet skis you can rent.

Kitesurfing - This is a water sport I never heard of before. This is a surface water sport that uses the wind (like a kite a kid would play with) to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard, like a wakeboard.

Paddleboarding - There is a history to stand-up paddle boarding. It was a way for kings and queens to enjoy the water centuries ago. They were able to travel between islands and catch waves.

Parasailing - This is an activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute (called a parasail), and is a popular activity to have an unique view of the islands! The boat drives off and continuously carries the parasail higher and higher in the air.

These are only a few of the sports that I want to try one day. Do you agree?

Pirates week

I hope everyone had a great weekend after the Fourth of July! What did everyone do? I hope everyone had a safe holiday. Speaking of celebrations, the Cayman Islands has celebrations every year too. You can call them festivals if you prefer. One of the festivals is called Pirates Week. Pirates Week is in November for the week of the 8th throughout the 18th. It is a very exciting time to visit the Cayman Islands. Hotels, restaurants, and more have specials and deals this week on the islands. The festivities all start with the first of many firework displays viewed the best from George Town. Throughout the week there is a parade through George Town and costume contests of how dresses up as the best pirate. You can enjoy music, street dances, food festivals, and sporting events during the ten day festival. There are also many activities for children. You will definitely experience the heritage and culture of the island.


The islands have been celebrating this event for around 35 years. Not only is it celebrated on the Grand Cayman, it is also celebrated on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Pirates are everywhere! Festivities include the float parade ( as previously said), cardboard boat race, sea swims, 5K walks or runs, turtle releases, and a lot more! In addition to all the events, there is always great food on the islands! You will get to experience different foods like Conch stew, turtle, fritters, lobster, other fish and a lot of other choices! So find a hotel deal today before it is too late to book your next Cayman Island trip. Enjoy the festivities! 

Crabs Everywhere!

Can you imagine this little creature above scooting around everywhere? When you visit the Cayman Islands, you WILL experience crabs all over outside. This crab shown above was exploring right outside our condo. Our first day there, my 6 year old cousin started to explore around the shore side right when we got to our condo. Every time she would see a crab, she would scream 'CRAB!!!' They roamed around the rock wall right above the water. At dusk, they would start roaming around the streets, grass, and poolside. So you had to watch where you were walking so you do not step on one! They also would get brave and try to cross the street especially at night, but some would not be so lucky to get across. The crabs were all different sizes, some were tiny little babies and some were pretty huge. Crabs are covered with a thick exoskeleton, which is kind of like a shell. An exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body. This is their protection. They also have a pair of claws, so do not try and pick them up!

One of my favorite critters on the island was the hermit crab shown below. You would find them everywhere by the shore. The picture below is a hermit crab that is about the size a dime. It was so tiny!  They were scattered around everywhere! We were picking them up by their shells and let them crawl on our hands. They were so small that you wouldn't even feel it if they pinched you. Just look how cute they were!

Another Travel Blog!

I started researching other travel blogs to see how I could make mine better since this is my first blog ever (by the way, I am loving it so far!). I ran across a blog called Trip & Travel Blog. It is a blog all about travel all over the world, not just Cayman Islands. It consists of blogs about Zimbabwe, New York, France, etc. It includes pictures and links for the entire blogs to coincide with the information. The blog is organized by subcategories so it is easier to find certain articles. Some if the categories are best reviews, where & when, travel info graphics, travel pet, travel gadgets, travel art, and more. So not only does it give you suggestions to see different parts of the world. You can also view blogs about where is the best place to visit if you have to take a pet along. You can read about different gadgets are good for traveling, such as a GPS or a backpack. It is easy to jump around to different articles and search what you are looking for. What I like about this blog is it is not on one certain topic. It covers everything from food to entertainment to countless places around the world! You will find everything and anything on this site! It is quite amazing how much you can find and discover. Something I thought was a great idea, was on the top of the website you can 'submit an experience'. This is where you can go on the blog and write them about an experience you had when traveling about anything, and then they might use your information for insider tips on their blog. This is a must see, so go check it out on your own and see this awesome blog! Click here to visit Trip & Travel Blog.

Destination Weddings

So, for all the women out there, I know you will agree with me. At some point, every girl dreams of her wedding, right? Well, I know I sure did, but I think it is just a girl's thing. I thought about what colors my bridesmaid's dresses would be, what all the flowers would look like, what my dream wedding dress would be, and what kind of sweets I want on my sweet table. Lastly, where will your wedding be? What is better than getting married on the beach in a beautiful island. Invite close family and share a breathtaking moment while getting married on a beach with your feet in the white sand of Grand Cayman. You can get married on plenty of the beaches, or even in the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park surrounded by exotic flowers. The island has wedding professionals that will help you with the paperwork and planning at wherever you plan to tie the knot.

An interesting fact I discovered as I was researching destination wedding in the Grand Cayman, is the "Unity Sand" ceremony. This is an addition to the beach weddings. It represents two lives blending into one, meaning once the sand is combined, there is no way to be separated. There are different colors of sand used to represent each other. The bride and groom take turns and pour their sand into one container and are able to bring it home as a keepsake of their wedding vows to be 'united.'

Cruises

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Today I will share some information about cruises to the Cayman Islands with you. I have never been on a cruise ship before but some people love it! I know someone that will only go on cruises for vacations because they love them so much. I flew US Airways into Charlotte, North Carolina then directly to Grand Cayman. Taking a cruise is another option to have to arrive at this gorgeous island. Cruises are very popular on this island. Plenty of cruises ships dock in Georgetown, Grand Cayman every single day. The bad thing is the stop in Grand Cayman is usually just a stopover on the island which usually only last for a half of a day. It reminds me of a rest stop when you are driving, it is the cruises 'rest stop' to another destination like Jamaica for instance. There are plenty of different cruises lines to choose from (hence, it is a very popular cruise destination!). You just have to remember since there is so many different cruise lines you have to find one that suits you the best. All cruises include different things and go to different places. Since, you are just making a rest stop in Georgetown, Grand Cayman there is not a lot of time to do activities, os most people just shop in Georgetown, which is the island's capital. Just remember to book in advance, so you are on the cruise you want, and will not be disappointed!

Cayman Islands National Museum

Want to learn about the Caymanian heritage? Then you should visit and experience the Cayman Islands National Museum. The Cayman Islands National Museum is dedicated to the preservation, research, and dissemination of all aspects of the Caymanian heritage. This museum opened in 1990 in the Old Courts Building. (See picture below.) The museum is traced back to 1930 when Mr. Ira Thompson began collecting Caymanian artifacts as a hobby. In 1979, the government purchased Mr. Ira's collection which started the National Museum's collection. Today, there is over 8,000 items in the museum with coins, boats, documents, and more. You can learn a lot from visiting this museum all about the Caymanian heritage through the exhibits.

The Old Court House, where the museum is located, used to be a town jail and a hall for a Sunday church and dances in the 19th century, but it was known to be the first Court House in the Cayman Islands. After you roam around the museum, you can shop at the gift shop and take a Cayman treasure home! They even sell Caymanite jewelry, which is only possible to get in the Cayman Islands. You will for sure have a unique, one of a kind keepsake. You can even grab a snack or a drink at the Goal House Cafe. This is a great, learning experience to see.  I did not have enough time on my vacation to intend this attraction, but it is not a huge building. So when you are planning you can pair this attraction with another attraction on the same day.

History of the Cayman Islands

When I traveled to the Cayman Islands, I knew nothing about the history of the island. So, it pushed me to discover more about the island not only for my sake, but I want to inform you also. This way you can understand the island and the meaning behind it. Let's have a little history lesson today! :)

The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas territory. On May 10, 1503, Christopher Columbus found Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. There is no evidence of Columbus finding the islands according to officials, so it is believed that the first people to actually land on the islands were sailors from Sir Frances Drake in 1586. It was around 300 years ago that people began to settle on the islands. Over the next several hundred years, it was a popular stop for sailors. a variety of people settled on the islands, such as pirates, refugees, sailors, and slaves. The majority of Caymanians are of African and English decent, and they still are today.

In 1655, the English captured Jamaica and claimed the Cayman Islands. In 1670, the Cayman Islands were recognized as a British territory. The British neglected the islands so the Caymanians had to govern the island under their own rules. In 1831, the first elected legislation was finally set up in later years the UK claimed the Cayman Islands as a dependency of Jamaica, which caused the islands to have a control government. Things were getting back on track until a horrible hurricane of 1932, killing many. From that point on, the islands started to grow front the losses and started booming. In 1950, the first hotel was built bringing in tourists. In 1962, Jamaica chose independence and the Cayman Islands chose to keep its relationship with Britain. Today, the Cayman Islands are still growing a great future!

Dive Tech

Good morning everyone! Yesterday, I wrote about a dive operation named Cayman Dive Shuttle. Click here to read it, if you missed it. Today, I am going to continue to share information about dive operations. Cayman Dive Shuttle is more of a focused, relaxed dive operation. DiveTech is another great operation. They have two large boats and two departure sites, Lighthouse Point and Cobalt Coast Dive Resort. Once again, my cousin informed me about some of there dives. They dived with DiveTech for three days. When you dive with DiveTech for three or more days, you get unlimited shore diving and an overall discount on diving. So you will get a pretty good deal! Check out more information and pricing on their website HERE.

My cousin dove five different sites with DiveTech, which were Dragon's Hole, Hepps Pipeline, Black Forest, Portabello, and Peppermint Reef. In comparison with Cayman Dive Shuttle where they went on two deep dives, DiveTech goes on a deep dive and then follows that with a shallow reef dive. As always there are pros and cons to both operations. A positive for DiveTech was there was multiple dive locations plus you can shore dive whenever you want. There was more available on the boat for use such as a device to analyze Nitrox, which Cayman Dive Shuttle did not have. DiveTech's crew was friendly and at times would let you explore without the guide as long as you had a buddy to roam underwater with. A con for a boat that has a lot of divers, your dive is based on amount of time rather than how much air you have. Overall, great operation to dive with!

Cayman Dive Shuttle

Are you visiting Grand Cayman to go diving? I will inform you about a couple dive operations to help start your journey. My cousin dove with two different operations, Cayman Dive Shuttle and DiveTech. I will tell you more about DiveTech in tomorrow's post. For now, I will focus on Cayman Dive Shuttle.  I asked my cousin for her feedback on the dives, so hopefully this helps you!

Cayman Dive Shuttle has a more customized dive experience for divers. The operation is owned by a husband/wife team and they have one small boat that fits maximum of 8 people all together. They keep the groups small for a more personalized and relaxed experience, away from the crowds. My cousin dived 4 different sites with this operation which were Pinnacle, Eagle Ray Pass, Lemon Wall, and Princess Pinnacle. They were able to see sea turtles, lion fish, rays, eels, and huge lobsters. These were the dives that got their adrenaline going!

My cousin's favorite experience with Cayman Dive Shuttle was the deep dive swim through. Each deep dive started with a descent to about 50 or 60 ft and then they were led through a crevice between the coral pinnacles. The drop continues as you move through the crevice and opens up to around 100 ft along the wall. When they looked straight ahead, it was open water, if you looked down, there was another 3,000 feet drop. (Scary, intriguing, and awesome if you ask me!)

For more information check out their website HERE and plan your dives with them today!

Welcome to Hell?

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! :) Monday is not my favorite day of the week so I figured pairing it with Hell, Grand Cayman was necessary. You probably read my title and thought, 'uh what?' Don't worry I thought the same thing when I was told about Hell. Other vacationers we met on our vacation told us we should visit Hell. I was confused at first, but they really did mean a place in Grand Cayman!

Hell is located in West Bay, Grand Cayman. It is a group of black, limestone formations. They are spiky and a little creepy looking. It is about half the size of a soccer field. You are not allowed to walk on the formations so they do not get damaged, but there is viewing platforms. There are many different stories as to why it is named Hell. Some say an official was there and said, 'This looks like Hell,' and some stories say if a pebble is thrown out on the rocks, it hits the rocks and ridges and the sound it makes sounds like it is falling all the way to Hell. However it got the name Hell, there is a post office there you can visit. Obviously, it is called Hell Post Office. You can send a postcard to family or friends at home that say fun sayings, like 'We were in Hell, Grand Cayman' or 'Welcome to Hell.' I do have a warning for you though, I would not visit the post office unless you want to be greeted by someone dressed as a devil, saying 'how the Hell are you?' or 'Where the Hell are you from' or 'What a Hell of a day!'

It is a interesting place to say the least! It is a fun place to visit and a good experience to say you have been there, but you do not need to spend too much time there. I mean once you take a picture in Hell, and send a postcard, there is not much else to do. So plan another attraction on the day you visit Hell so you are not disappointed with wasting a whole day!

Scuba Diving

Grand Cayman is known for diving vacations. It is one of the top diving destinations. People travel to Grand Cayman to evolve their vacation around scuba diving. That was the reason I went to Grand Cayman actually. Well I did not scuba dive but my cousin and her husband did. They invited me along on their vacation to babysit their 6 year old daughter while they went scuba diving. (This is why I address my cousin all the time in my blog). They went on 13 dives the 6 days we were there.

Divers can choose from a variety of dive sites. There are about 175 sites to choose from. Divers can explore steep, deep walls, swim-throughs, sponges and colorful corals, reefs, wrecks, and all of the marine life. You might see, sea turtles, angel fish, lobsters, eels, groupers, parrot fish, etc. etc. etc. Most dive sites are just minutes from the shore. The Kittiwake is the latest dive attraction and is quickly becoming one of the most popular Caribbean dive sites. A submarine rescue vessel sunk in 2011 and has taken up the northern tip of Seven Mile Beach.

Grand Cayman is strict with reef conservation. You are not allowed to touch or harm them in any way. Grand Cayman's reefs offer a variety of marine life encounters. This gives photographers and videographers great photo opportunities to capture. These reefs are unspoiled while corals thrive in the warm water. Experienced divers also have the option of wall diving to witness the beautiful sea life at a different level.

This is my cousin exploring reefs of Grand Cayman.

Cayman Brac

Cayman Brac is one of the three Cayman Islands. I previously wrote a blog on Little Cayman (Click here to read) and wanted to share more information with you about another island so we are familiar with all three islands. Cayman Brac is about a thirty minute plane ride from Grand Cayman Airport. If you like adventures and nature, you would love this island.

The population of this island is about 1,800, which is still small but a lot more then Little Cayman. The island is about 14 miles long and 1 mile wide. It is named after its 140 ft bluff, 'Brac' is a Gaelic name for a bluff. A bluff is a large central limestone outcrop that rises along the length of the eastern side of the island up to 140 ft above the sea level.

There is a lot of outdoorsy things to do on this island! The bluff is something is see, and you can visit a lighthouse on the top on the bluff for an amazing view of the island and ocean. There is also a LOT of limestone caves and sinkholes, above the water, to explore. You can go rock climbing, fishing, hiking, and lots of exploring. This island is the home to over 200 species of birds! It sounds like this island is right up a nature lover's alley to me.

Also, of course there is diving, which is at every island. The Caymans are known for diving! Something else that is different and could be fun for dinner, is fish for your own food. You can fish in some of the shallow waters and bring your fish back and your chef will cook it for you right away. All of this for a half hour plane ride from Grand Cayman and it is a completely different island.

Conch

Conch, where is even start with this... I will start with a little story. Some background of myself, I used to be a huge picky eater, which I still can be at times, but I am open to trying new things now! Which means, I just started eating seafood not too long ago. Being from Chicago, there is not a huge variety of fish available on a daily basis. That being said when you start naming seafood like Grouper, Trigger, and Conch, I am thinking 'What the heck is that?' Well, I learned at lot about the sea life on this trip!

I tried Grouper and Trigger at other restaurants and they were amazing, it was a white fish. One thing I was seeing on multiple menus were Conch. It was as meals and appetizers, cooked in an abundance of ways. I never asked what it was until my cousin wanted to order it for an appetizer. All she told me was trust me you will like it, which it was good, but I want to share with you what they are so you don't wonder what you are eating like I did.

Conch is a vary popular food on the island. Conch is a sea snail that lives in the pretty shells we would love to collect on the ocean (See above). There are many different species of conch. All parts of the conch meat are edible, but the white meat is the only thing appetizing. You will find Conch cooked/served all kinds of ways. It can be eaten raw, in salads, (which I do not think I am brave enough to try) or cooked as in fritters, chowders, burgers, etc.

Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park

If you love nature, wildlife, or just a bunch of flowers this should be on your bucket list. Queen Elizabeth II opened Grand Cayman's only Botanic Park in 1994. In 1994, only the Woodland Trail was complete, where is a trail that is 4/5 of a mile long. The trail was mapped out so you would get the opportunity to see the unusual and significant habitats. This park is estimated to contain more than 50% of the native flora of the Cayman Islands. The park is open from 9am to 5:30pm everyday and the last admission is at 4:30. It cost $10 US dollars to get in.

There are different parts/sections of the Park. For instance, there is a Floral Color Garden that is to create an informal garden which can alternate between floral designs. It is also laid out by colors. This Botanic Park is also the home to 10 of the 26 orchid species recorded from the Cayman Islands and you will not find 3 of them anywhere but at the Cayman Islands. One of the unique three, is the Cayman's National Flower, the Wild Banana Orchid. I thought this was so interesting because orchids are my favorite flowers and they are so rare in the US! I wish I could grow these everywhere around my house! I guess I need to buy a house in Grand Cayman. :)

Every year, the Botanic Park has annual shows for guests. The Annual Orchid Show is an exhibition of locally grown orchids and it promotes the conservation of the native orchids. You can learn the techniques of growing orchids. Plus, the money goes to a good cause. The proceeds from the Show will go toward the establishment of an orchid garden in the Park. Visit the website here for more information.

Stingray City

Grand Cayman is the only place you can get up close and personal with stingrays. So if I say so myself, it is a must see in Grand Cayman! This is a busy tourist attraction, but keep reading and you will understand why.. 

Watch this video on Stingrays!! 

It may have all started when stingrays began gathering in the sandbar area awhile ago when fisherman returned from an excursion and cleaned their fish in the water of the sandbar. The remains of the leftover fish were thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually getting smarter and realized they can get leftover food here! Eventually, the stingrays associated the sound of the boats with food. As divers realized this, they noticed they can feed these stingrays by hand. Now today, the boats full of tourists always bring pails of food for the stingrays, feeding them by hand, attracting more and more stingrays to come visit. 

Stingray City is in the Grand Cayman's North Sound in the sandbar area. You need to take a short boat ride to the sandbar area no matter what. There are several different options for that. This attraction is for ALL ages. You can stand in 3 feet of water and you will be surrounded by about two dozen stingrays all by natural habitat. You touch and feed a stingray, along with snorkeling by coral reefs and seeing tropical fish. Talk on the island, if you kiss a stingray... you will have 7 years good luck! :) Book your trip to Stingray City HERE! It is a must see!

More Advantages of Staying in Condos Over Hotels

Hey everyone! Welcome back! Today, I was researching other blogs about the Cayman Islands and other Caribbean travel blogs and everyone had such great points, ideas, and other interesting facts. One post in particular addressed 'Advantages of Staying in Condos Over Hotels' in the Cayman Islands. (See post here!)

I could not agree more with this post and I wanted to share it with you and enhance and add more advantages to it. I stayed at a condo unit called Coconut Bay in West Bay, Grand Cayman and I loved it! I agree that staying at a condo will make your vacation more enjoyable. Some of the reasons are listed below.

As stated in the post linked above:

1. Privacy - You have your own private condo to do whatever you please to do. You can bring your meals outside and enjoy the ocean scenery without trucking your way through lobbies.

2. Space - You have more room in a condo! You can have a condo with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen,  and patio instead of a hotel room with multiple beds and a pull out couch in one large room.

3. Amenities - The condos have washers and dryers, stove, coffee maker, grill, etc. You can do as you please without bothering anyone. The amenities are a great convenience! (Trust me!)

4. Cost - If you are vacationing for a week with a family or other couples, renting a condo is the cheaper route. You can save money on meals because you are able to go to the grocery store and buy meals for breakfast, lunches, and a couple dinners and you can save hundreds! At a hotel, you would have to eat out every meal.

More advantages I wanted to add were:

5. Children - If you are traveling with children, you have the comfort of watching the kids play in the pool/ocean right from your patio. When it is lunch time, you can make a quick meal and have them playing and enjoying the water in no time, which make you and the kids happy!

6. Convenient - Watch the sunset every night right outside your door. Life could not be more convenient. You can bring a glass of wine out on the beach and enjoy the breathtaking view with the other travelers.

Little Cayman

Here is something about the Cayman Islands that will be a nice change up from Grand Cayman. It is Little Cayman. Little Cayman is one of the three Cayman islands. It is the least developed and the smallest of the three. It is known for a great honeymoon location and is a top Caribbean destination.

The population of this island is about less than 170. Just imagine, that is about the population of a block in Chicago! (Hard to believe!) Little Cayman is only ten miles long and one mile wide. It is a great honeymoon place because their is a lot of privacy and complete relaxation. The beaches are gorgeous with blue water and white sand. What gets better than that?!

Little Cayman is great for scuba diving. There is tons of different sites to dive. Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park is one of the most popular dive sites for divers around the world. It is known for the drop-offs and swim throughs in the ocean. If you are not into diving, there is also a lot of snorkeling in Little Cayman before the walls drop off with a variety of coral and sponges. You might see lobster, octopus, rays, reef sharks, turtles, and plenty of tropical fish! Another interesting fact about Little Cayman is you might get the chance to see unique birds. Little Cayman is a home to the largest colony of Red-Footed Boobies. (I did not know what there were at first, but look how CUTE they are in the picture below!)

Morgan's Harbour

One night while we decided to go out for dinner at Morgan's Harbour for a nice night out. This was a seafood restaurant located in West Bay, Grand Cayman. There was an adorable outdoor patio right on the water to dine. I was so excited just by the looks of it, besides for the fact my hair was blowing everywhere because it was a little windy.

Once we started reviewing the menus, it was hard to choice because everything sounded so good. There was a whole page of items that was there catch of the day. Our waiter informed us that the restaurant uses only locally caught fish to satisfy their guests. You could be eating seafood that the local fisherman caught as early as that morning!

I decided on the Mahi Mahi with a glass of white wine. When the food arrived, the presentation looks amazing! I had Mahi Mahi with potatoes and asparagus. The fish melted in my mouth. I could not find a thing to complain about. My meal was perfect! After all of us were stuffed with delicious food, we still could not say no to dessert. You always have extra room for dessert, right? We decided to spilt a peanut butter ice cream pie because how could you say no to that? The waiter was a jokester and bought all of us tiny baby spoons and my cousin's husband a big spoon. The dessert was amazing even with a TINY spoon! Overall, it was amazing food, great service, and 5 stars! I wish I could eat here everyday!!

Grand Cayman Roosters!

Day one – when I arrived at the airport, I went through customs, noticed my phone had no service on the island, and I was on the search for my cousin’s family (who I was meeting up with) I found them shortly after I arrived, thank goodness the airport was so small, we didn’t have any problems finding each other without a phone. My cousin’s daughter started telling me how she was chasing chickens in the parking lot of the airport while they were waiting for me. To tell you the truth I thought she was just making this up until my cousin told me there are chickens and roosters roaming around everywhere! I could not believe it, but sure enough when we pulled up to our condo and started to check out our surroundings they were roaming around everywhere!

I was wondering the same thing you probably are right now, where are they coming from and why? The first thing I did was look up ‘Grand Cayman Roosters’ on Google and there is no explanation about the roosters besides for pictures of the roosters of people just as surprised as me. The only reasoning I could find was they are not generally eaten on the island so they roam around in the wild. It was the craziest thing to see for me. Also, another surprise to me was at 5 o’clock every morning I was woken up by a crowing rooster that was right outside my window! That was something I definitely did not get used to. Yes, Grand Cayman has wild roosters/chickens roaming around! Do you know why??

Dolphin Discovery

Happy Monday! How is everyone? I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had the chance to visit family in Kentucky but excited to be back to share more fun information with you about some attractions in the Grand Cayman. Something that sparked my interest was swimming with the dolphins, but I did not get a chance to fit that in my schedule. There was a location to do this really close to our condo in West Bay. It is called Dolphin Discovery and it looks like an awesome place.

To me this seems like it is a must to make a reservation, because there are only 3 times available per day. For an adult to swim with the dolphins it was $169 and for kids it is $129, but a child must swim with a paying adult as a companion. Yes, my first reaction was that it seemed very expensive for a couple hours, but then again when can you actually swim with dolphins?!? The package includes the Dolphin Royal Swim, which includes several different behaviors of the dolphins. They perform a foot push, which means the dolphin will push you by your feet through the water and you can hold onto the fins of dolphins and go for a ride. You also get a kiss, hug, song, and free time with the dolphins. Now do you think the price is worth it? (Because I sure did!) Check out the website for more information. I can’t wait to try this one day!

Iguanas

I noticed wildlife everywhere in the Cayman Islands. Most of it was so unique that it was awesome to see. One creature that kind of scared me at first were the iguanas, but then noticed they were probably more scared of me. Iguanas were everywhere. They would rome the streets, hang out by the pools, and were all over the trees. These iguanas were not the small, cute little lizards, which those were everywhere too by the way, but the iguanas were huge and FAST! My little cousin loved to try and sneak up on them to see how close she can get but it never worked out too well.

The Blue Iguana is the Grand Cayman's largest land animal. They look like mini dragons that are not that mini! They could grow to about five feet long and 25 pounds. They can also live as long as me and you. I wasn't kidding when I said these iguanas were huge! These iguanas were close to extinction in 2002, basically because of construction, road kill, and stray dogs.

Currently, there is a Blue Iguana Recovery Program to help the Blue Iguanas so they do not become extinct. So far, they are doing great. The program includes habitat protection, breeding and releasing, research and monitoring, education, planning, management, and fund raising to keep this work moving forward. The Cayman Islands Department of Environment, the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, and the International Reptile Conservation Foundation are a few organizations working with this great program to save the iguanas!

Seven Mile Beach

Seven Mile Beach was only a about a mile and a half away from the condo we stayed at. This beach is a public beach. The ocean front that was right outside our condo was not very kid friendly. it was made up on coral rock, barely no sand. It was gorgeous. Also, it was a great place for snorkelers and divers to shore dive and see some great marine life. So the days we wanted to swim in the ocean instead of the pool we went to Seven Mile Beach.

This beach is one of the reasons why Grand Cayman is considered the ultimate Caribbean destination according to the Grand Cayman website. It is a very well-known beach. The water was so clear and bright blue. If there were fish swimming by my feet, I would see them perfectly. The sand on the beach was so white and soft, compared to lake beaches. It was definitely a place I did not want to leave!

There were resorts, hotels, and condos located right off the beach, which I could only imagine how perfect that would be. Since this is a public beach, you can walk the entire beach without it turning into private property. To even make to more awesome, there was restaurants and beach bars along the beach! Even though, I only was there to work on my tan and enjoy the water. There was other people snorkeling off the shore, parasailing, jet skiing, and much more. I could get used to this beach, too bad I cannot be there everyday! It was perfect!

Alfresco

Alfresco was a restaurant that was recommended to us to eat at because of the great food. We glanced to the reviews for the restaurant before we went and people raved about the place and how great it was. After my experience I only somewhat agree to that. Alfresco has outdoor sitting on a patio right off the ocean. The view was fantastic, breathtaking actually. Everything on the menu was very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. We had some appetizers and I had a grouper fish for my entree. My company I was with had a pasta dish and pizza. All of us thought the food was great!


All of the food and wonderful scenery was ruined by the poorest service I have ever had unfortunately. Appetizers and dinner literally took 3 hours. I had a glass of wine, I would have liked to have another but the server didn't bother to ask. Our server never asked if we needed anything. She was not very friendly either. Our table was next to the staircase leading to the beach, which was good because the ocean kept my little cousin occupied while we waited for dinner. We had to find our server and ask them to get the check ready right after dinner because we did not want to be there any longer. Like I mentioned before the place gets great reviews, so maybe it was just a bad night. I would recommend this restaurant to others if there was better service.

Cayman Turtle Farm

The Cayman Turtle Farm was a great attraction to visit. It was fun for all ages, but I believe it is geared more to younger children. My 6 year old little cousin LOVED this place, and wanted to go there everyday for the rest of our vacation! If you plan to visit there go during the morning because it closes at four everyday and you need to give yourself some time there. The pricing is a little high but it seems like a lot is expensive on the island and it's worth it!

The park had plenty to see. There was  a breeding pond filled with hundreds of HUGE sea turtles. They said there were some weighing in more than 500 pounds! Also, there was several tanks filled with younger turtles. They allowed you to touch or pick up these turtles. Well that was if you can catch them! That was my cousin's favorite part of the park. She did not want to leave them either. I have to say though, it was my first time I held a sea turtle, so it was pretty awesome!

Turtles was not the only animal at the park, you can see sharks, barracuda, and even a crocodile! You can go snorkeling with turtles and other marine life. You can feed Caribbean birds out of your hand for only $1US dollar. I almost forgot that I did have one bad experience with the birds. The employee that worked with the birds put a bird on my shoulder so I can have a picture, but sure enough the bird had to use the bathroom! (Yuck!) For more information on the Cayman Turtle Farm visit their website HERE.

Shopping!

So who doesn't love to shop while they are on vacation? Well, I know I sure do. I usually need to do some souvenir shopping for friends and family and of course, I need to do some shopping for myself. Shopping is mostly takes place in Georgetown, which is the capital of the Grand Cayman. I had the chance to shop around Georgetown my last day on the island. There were tons of little stores along the coast of the ocean. I noticed that Georgetown was where the cruises docked the ships so people could explore the island on the cruise. Anyway, there were tons of beautiful jewelry stores everywhere, which was very tempting for myself. Also, there were restaurants, souvenir shops, duty-free shops, luxury shops, etc, etc, etc. It is the place to go for shopping!

Georgetown was a very crowded town. The roads were full of cars and parking was hard to find. If you wanted to go shopping you have to make a whole day out of it or else to would not be worth it. On the other hand, we were shopping while a cruise ship was docked so it might have been more crowded. My guess would be if you go when a cruise is not scheduled for that day, the town would not be as crowded.

I did not buy a lot while I was there, maybe next time I visit I can invest in some jewelry! I did buy a Christmas ornament for myself. It is a stingray with santa laying across it holding on. I try and buy an unique ornament for every place I travel too. It is a great remembrance that could last forever and I will not get sick of. :) Just an idea if you want to start your own collection!

Where is Grand Cayman located?

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is doing great as am I. Before I start getting into details and recommendations about the prettiest place to be in my blog. I want to inform you on the island itself, such as the location and a little background to make sure all of us are on the same page. Sorry to the people that are reading this thinking 'how do you not know where the Grand Cayman Island is?' Well, when I was informing people about my vacation, a pretty big chunk of people asked me where the island was. So here is a little geography lesson for you today on the Cayman Islands! :)

The Cayman islands consists of three islands, which are the Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac (see map above of the islands). The islands are in the western Caribbean Sea and is  south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands and where most of the tourists visit especially since that is where the international airport is located. The island is about 22 miles long and 8 miles wide, so it is a rather small island to be on. One of the positives to this was we were rather close to everything. The Cayman Islands are considered to be a British Overseas Territory, which was new to me. This island is becoming more and more popular for vacation. Most of the visitors are Americans, which is not surprising to me because the islands are located so close to the east coast. While on vacation for the week, we met mostly Americans, one couple from Turkey that lived there, and a couple locals. The locals were very down to earth and relaxed. There is definitely a mix of cultures on the island but growing more and more for the tourists.

Now that we are back on the same page about the location, come back to visit my blog about some activities!

Coconut Bay Condos

Coconut Bay Condos is where I stayed for the week I visited the Cayman Islands. It was located in West Bay, Grand Cayman, which is only a couple miles away from Seven Mile Beach. It was a two bedroom, 2 bath condo. It was very well kept, spacious, and clean for a reasonable price. Also, there was a kitchen so we had the luxury of saving some money by cooking some meals at the condo instead of eating out everyday. To put a cherry on top, right outside the back door was a pool and hot tub with a gorgeous ocean view. It was nice, quiet, relaxing, and somewhere I would not complain about owning, that's for sure!

Walking distance from the condo was ocean access, you can shore dive or snorkel at the convenience of being close to your condo and seeing tons of awesome sea creatures! There was an unbelievable view of the sunset, it could not have been more perfect. Also, there was a restaurant and a couple attractions that were walking distance from the condo. We had to drive to the public beach because it was a few miles away, but for how beautiful it was, that was not something I could even make myself complain about. There are hotels up and down the ocean front beaches, but sometimes the prices could get a little more expensive. I would love to stay at Coconut Bay again sometime in the future when I go again and I would recommend these condos to you! I think you will have a blast!!

10 ways to prepare yourself for the Cayman Islands

Before you head to the Grand Cayman, here are a few pointers to prepare yourself and make you aware of to make your adventure that much more enjoyable...

1. Do NOT forget your passport! - Yes, you are leaving the country and you will not get very far without your passport.

2. The Grand Cayman time zone is Eastern Standard time. - I am from Illinois, so there was no time barrier for me, which was a plus! An interesting fact about the island is they do not change their clocks for daylight savings time.

3. The Cayman Islands dollar is equal to $1.25 US dollars. - The Grand Cayman has a permanent fixed exchange rate for the US dollar. Everywhere on the island accepts US dollars, but if you receive change it will most likely be in Cayman Island money, which turned out to be very convenient. So, remember CI $1 = $1.25 US.

4. The capital of Grand Cayman is George Town. - Ladies, you will discover this to be where all the shopping is!

5. Cars drive on the opposite side of the road! - Our rented car was backwards from a US car. The driver seat was usually wear the passenger sits. So look both ways, but look the opposite ways first! This is something that was very hard to get used to! 

6. Be prepared for a lot of roundabouts! - Instead of right and left turns to get places, the Grand Cayman had a lot of roundabouts. This is not as easy as it sounds when you have cars coming from opposite directions, rather scary actually!

7. Grocery stores are closed on Sundays. - If you are shopping for food during your vacation, make sure its anyway but Sunday. :)

8. No language barrier. - Don't worry, Caymanians do speak English! English is the official language of the island.

9. The water is safe to drink. - I would double check depending on where you are staying, but overall the water is safe to drink on the island. The island has desalination plants to supply quality water.

10. Lastly, bring sunscreen!! - You would not want to get burnt and ruin your experience!

When to Travel

If it was up to me, I would think anytime of the year it would be great time to visit the Grand Caymans! Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The busiest time of the year for the island is December through April. The weather is a comfortable, high temperature, and who would not want to hang out on a beach during winter time? The island's rainy season is supposedly May through November. 

My vacation was the second week of June and it was beautiful weather, so maybe we were lucky. Some people do not travel there during the summer months because the sun is too strong for them. So, if you do not enjoy high heat I would definitely recommend visiting during the winter months. Everyday it reached at least 90 degrees. Maybe that is where I differed from others, because the weather was one of my favorite parts! It did rain a minimal amount a couple days, but it only lasted for around five minutes each time and was followed by a clear sky right after. Sometimes, if I was inside while it rained, I would not even notice.

Everyday, I was there at some point we were able to hang out by the pool of the condo we stayed at, which I will tell you more about in my next blogs! We also visited a couple beaches, and enjoyed the gorgeous ocean. The water was so clear. I could see my feet at the bottom every time! No wonder they call it the world's leading scuba diving destinations! 

Welcome to my blog, travelers!

Hello everyone! If you are interested in the Grand Caymans, you found the right blog! First, let me tell you a little about myself. I am a student at Illinois State University and I am majoring in Accounting and Finance (only one year to go!). I am creating my first blog and first website for an Electronic Business Management class. One of the many things I am passionate about is traveling, if I would travel all the time I could, but too bad my college funds do not let me do that. (Hopefully one day!) I do usually travel around the United States for the most part. Last summer, I had a wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Europe. I lived in Bristol, England for a month, and visited Ireland, London, and Belgium. It was a blast!

This summer I was lucky enough to travel to the Grand Cayman island for one week, actually I just came back to the US a couple days ago! I did not know much about the island till a couple weeks before when I started searching the Internet. During my vacation there, I experienced so much and it was a beautiful place to be! So I want to share with you some need to know information, recommendations, and first hand experiences from myself! Also, I would like to be able to learn more about this interesting, amazing island! So for the next four weeks of the summer, please follow my blog and you will learn more about unique experiences, restaurants, beaches, scuba diving, attractions, and chickens (yes, wild chickens!). So, I hope you enjoy this blog and learn more with me about the captivating Caymans! :)
