I arrived in Grand Cayman on Oct 29th. This was supposed to be 9 days of me, myself and I enjoying reading on the beach and diving as well as drinks in the evening with our friends, Stu and Cheryl. Let's fast forward to today, where I am sitting in my condo awaiting Hurricane Paloma. I learned of this storm on Wed evening and did all I could yesterday to get a flight out. I was booked on a flight at 10:30a today but things got bad earlier than expected and the airport was shut down. Thankfully, I was able to get my bags and Lee, our condo manager, came and picked me up. I have enough food/water to get by and my bathtubs (yes, all 3!) are full of water for re-filling toilets, handwashing, etc...if the island water gets shut off. I have power and internet currently but who knows how long that will last. Things aren't too bad right now but windy and rainy and huge waves are starting to pound the shore. Originally, the worst was supposed to hit around 1:30-4pm but the storm has slowed and now it looks like it will be sometime during the night. Being alone, I would prefer the bad stuff hit during the daylight! And, being the Curious George that I am, I would prefer to get some good pics to document this adventure.
Rian and I truly love this island so it is interesting (to say the least) to experience this. Life in the Caribbean is not always sand and sun and now I will know that first hand! I will update again after it's over and hopefully have some good pics as well...
Wish me luck!
