2017 Grand Cayman Island Trip

There's nothing like celebrating your 35th birthday with clear beaches, beautiful crystal clear waters, sun setting and rising over the ocean, kayaking in the ocean, swimming and snorkeling with stingrays and other exotic fish in the ocean, touring the Crystal Caves, and just learning about the history and culture of the Grand Cayman Island. 

We stayed at the beautiful Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort "The Beach Experience" Hotel and we highly recommend staying here! We visited many places such as Stingray City, Crystal Caves, Lovers Wall, Grand Cayman Blow holes, Hell (yes, hell... lol), and the Pedro St. James Castle. We also drove the entire island in about an hour.

Shoreline Bar and Grill - Smith Bay, Virgin Islands

Our first time visiting St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. and we decided to eat here for dinner our first night. Our server was very good, especially since she said only started a few days before. We sat right beside the water and it was crystal clear (besides the brown seaweed) washing up and there were the HUGE fish swimming around the restaurant. Of course of waitress informed us of what they were and they were almost prehistoric like. 

Anywho, I got Mama's ham and cheese sandwich and it was soooooo good! My husband got the Monday special of the day, Slow Roasted pork, my son got the ribs, and my daughter got cheese quesadilla's. They were all very good and let's just say, the plates were all clean by the time we were finished. However, the Miami Vice drinks were ok and I won't order them again. My son's passionfruit virgin daiquiri was delicious though!
