and we're back

and we're back. it appears that the caymans were spared the worst of dean, according to this article. we had six fantastically relaxing days there. our cottage was on the north shore, about 100 yards from the surf, near rum point. we're not much for water sports (yeah i know, then why go to one of the premier dive / snorkel locations? because we had a free house to use), so we spent most of our time reading by the beach at rum point. some good (though over priced) food and grilled out a few times.

at the end of the week, as dean became imminent, we decided to cut our trip short by two days. although it seems that we would have made it out ok (in fact, our original flight on sunday was apparently the last flight to leave the island before they shut the airport), that could have been nerve wracking.

pictures to come soon.
