Water Time

There is of course one activity that dominates free time here in the Cayman Islands; water sports. Diving, fishing swimming, snokeling, boating, kyaking, and of course "just hanging out" in the water. That being the case we have been doing all of the above in one form or another during our stay. Enjoy the pictures...R-

We Are Back!

The Miller family is back on Grand Cayman! We are slowly getting settled back in after our mad dash to Miami. All in all everything went fine. The flight out was crazy, Cayman Airways was compleatly overloaded and we stood in line for almost 8 hours for our outbound flight. Once we reached Miami all was well. We had a nice room in South Beach right on Biscane Bay. We went shopping (Taget never looked so good) and took Emily to the Children's museum. With the web cam we were able to watch the storm hit our house from our hotel room; surreal. Luckily, Dean decided to track south and missed the island by about 100 miles. Even so, there was some damage and many lessons learned (Jen will never again pack in an emergency!). Enjoy the pictures and keep your fingers crossed for clear skys over Cayman. R-

Here comes Dean!

Looks like we are in for some weather! Hurricane Dean is bearing down on the Cayman Islands and could reach a Cat. 4 (Cat. 5 is the worst) by the time it reaches us. Yikes! As much fun as riding out our first storm may be, the Millers are catching a flight to Miami and avoiding the potential of a convertible house! Everyone keep your fingers crossed...and with a little luck we will be back in Cayman enjoying our island paradise once more!

Jen and I can still be reached on our cell phones and we will send updates as we can.

Trip to Cayman Brac

The Early Chilhood Unit took a trip to see the child care center on Cayman Brac a sister island about 90 miles east of Grand Cayman. We took a 16 person twin otter airplane. It was pretty exciting to be on such a small plane bouncing around over the ocean. On Cayman Brac we visited the center and met the newest member of our team. After the meeting we explored the island including the bat caves, the resorts (all three of them) and took a drive around the island. Cayman Brac's population is about 2000 people; a small isalnd for sure! Little Cayman the other sister island only has about 200 people! R-

Our trip to Starfish Point

We made it to starfish point this weekend with our friends from work. Emily was thrilled to see so many starfish and really enjoyed exploring the sand for shells. Jen and I were thrilled to enjoy a Caybrew (Caymans only local beer) while floating in the Caribbean sea! With the exceptions of some slightly sunburned shoulders everyone had a great time.

Grandma and Papa Visit Cayman

Grandma and Papa (Jen's parents) came for visit. We had a great time going to the Turtle Farm, the beach at Rum Pointe and on a submarine in George Town. R-
