[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Back from the Cayman's - finally with pics

Posted: 8/23/2004 5:17:25 AM EDT

Well, sorry for the few e-mails and IMs to which I am late responding. The wife and I got home late last night from a trip to Grand Cayman. We had no computer access. We did, however, have access to LOTS of rum.

Vacations are always fun, but it's great to be back home.

I will post pics (the ones suitable for "public" viewing

) later.

Accountant30339, I promise when I go back I'll let you know ahead of time.

You have my email address for those unsuitable for public display pics.

Do you want 8X10's or 5X7's?

Welcome back...

I hope the underwater pictures turned out okay.

Yes, Byte, I have your e-mail address.

Glad to hear you had fun. Give us warning next time so we can break all the rules

If any of you want to hear an 'out of towners' type tale, just ask me sometime about our (attempted) trip to Edisto Beach, SC this past May - bad fuel pumps, spit on the road towns, Mennenites - the whole works!

In all seriousness, underwater pics may look bad upon first examination, but I can tweak them and you may be surprised how well they turn out. Was it a digital camera? Lemme see if I have an example for you.

JarheadChiro, we stayed at the Hyatt on 7 Mile. Cool place with lots to do on the resort grounds.

Byte, your photo skills never cease to amaze me. We used one of the one-time use underwater cameras. I'll let you know how they turn out and maybe get you to help us.

Wow, that's amazing! You took the kid-piss right out of that swimming pool, Byte!

You take pics underwater and all you get is a crab? Could you not get a shot of the red snapper?

Welcome home, Book.

You did hear about the emergency AWB that passed and was signed just 4 days ago? No sunset now or never.

Being a nice guy and all, I'd be happy to give you 10 bucks for that nice colapsable M-4 stock you have at your undisclosed location.

Nice try, ar-wrench. Actually, while I was there I was worried something would get passed to extend the ban. It's always my luck to have something bad happen to me immediately upon returning from a vacation. As it turned out, the bad stuff this time was that Delta destroyed two of our three bags and we had a flat tire at the Park 'N Fly. I'm glad that's all we had that went wrong.

Yeah, I was thinking about making some quip to the effect of: "Damn, if those are the kind of crabs you catch in the Caymans, I think I'll stick to our good ol' U.S. of A. VDs." But, after seeing what a tough time you had with the room, I think I'll just keep it to myself....

Indeed, this can be a tough crowd.

MarianLibrarian and I got hitched down there. I love Cayman. We stayed at the Westin Casuarina on 7 Mile Beach last time we were there.

Best thing to do, though, is get a condo for the week. There are some nice ones down the beach a bit.

Did ya do the Lone Star?

Posted: 8/25/2004 9:49:53 AM EDT

[#23]

Yes, we were right next to the Lone Star. Very cool place.

We really had a great time. I'm "working at home" tomorrow, so maybe I can get some pictures posted.

Eh I work in a different dept., but I would complain to customer svc., and get new bags from them.

You have NO idea how many times I heard that on the trip.

Here is my wife on the catamaran we took on our snorkeling trip.

One night we went to Rum Point (a party spot on the island). We had to take a 45 minute boat ride to get there. Half way there, we were intercepted by this Pirate ship. They boarded our ship and brought with them lots (and LOTS) of rum. It was real cool, especially when they first started shooting at us.
