Abby's 1st trip to Cayman

Abby and I arrived in Cayman this afternoon for 9 days of fun! We took off from Buffalo about 8:30am and she did very well on that flight. Flight #2, however, had a rough start. She didn't get a very long nap on the first flight so was overtired when we left Charlotte. She had a crying/screaming fit as we were pulling away from the gate that felt like it lasted an hour (really only about 10 minutes). She had her eyes closed the entire time so I just held and rocked her hoping she would give in to her exhaustion before the other passengers started rioting. Thankfully, she did once we took off and I was able to place her in her car seat. I just about ordered a glass of wine when the beverage cart came around! ha ha She woke up about an hour in, looked around for a few minutes and then fell back to sleep for the remaining hour. Poor little tired sweetie!

We landed about 1:30 Cayman time (CST right now) and made it quickly through customs. Our good friends were waiting to pick us up...what service! Abby had a bottle and a nice afternoon nap. We went down to the beach about 4:00 and I dipped her little toes into the Caribbean. She spent a good hour quiet as a mouse and taking it all in while I visited with friends. I can tell she already loves it here!

She got a bath and enjoyed her first Cayman sunset in her pjs:



Grammie arrives on Saturday and we can't wait!
