P.S. Go to HELL!!!

"HELL..."

We forgot to mention that we spent part of our honeymoon in hell. There is this little town called Hell on the more western part of the island, and we actually kinda got lost there when we were searching for the Turtle Farm. In Caymnan, all the main roads are not labeled but all of the other little roads that lead to dead ends are all marked..... I think some country needs to work on some organizational skills!

What happens in Cayman stays in Cayman

The honeymoon was great! Food was expensive, the sun was shining, the hotel was "comfortable" and I got a rash.

The "Rash"

In the picture.... you can see the beginning of what has become a nightmare! First it started on my arm... then my neck, back, legs, and feet. Mark and I thought it was jellyfish at first... but now, we think its some plague from the Caribbean.




The Caribbean LIFE

Ya know when people from an island talk all "eh- mahn!" Just imagine that but times a million. You literally can't understand a lick of what those people are saying. Other than the "eh- mahn" factor, the island was amazing! The sand was white, the ocean was way blue and the sun was HOT! (Okay, so it wasn't THAT hot, but I thought I would rub it in.)

Apparently they sell a lot of rum and stuff at Rum Point... go figure!

For the Rum Point pic, we stopped in the middle of the road and took this picture..... luckily there weren't a lot of cars..... because if there were..... we weren't going to move until the picture was taken!

The Stingrays were everywhere!!!

While we were in Cayman, we went to a turtle farm, Stingray City, snorkled, lounged on the beaches and shopped. Stingray City was amazing! We snorkled at this way awesome reef! There were all kinds of fish that were neon and all kinds of vibrant, sweet colors! Then we went to the actual sting ray part and that was a little "different". A couple events happened while we were there: the stingrays and the stupid birds. When we got off the sailboat, there were sting rays everywhere; they swarmed us. These things are huge and they look like aliens. NO JOKE! Its a little freaky beacause everywhere you turn around its like Men in Black all over again. Then the stupid birds come into play. The sting ray man let all of us feed these rays some chopped up squid (ew) and I sat there like a zombie because I was so scared of the things. So I finally got the courage to feed the rays and as I am cautiously putting the nasty, slimy squid in the water, A BIRD, OUT OF NO WHERE came down, bit my hand and stole the food! Ok now seriously... WHAT KIND OF SICK TWISTED BIRD STEALS SQUID! Of all the nice pellets and berries you could find on the island, you HAVE to come fly a thousand miles just to steal a slimy, half masticated chunk of SQUID!.... stupid bird.....

And I thought the bird was gross......... Did I really marry this guy??? Needless to say the love life got a little dull after this incident....

The Highlight of "Our" Honeymoon

When they took Cinnabon out of the University Mall, I thought it had gone out of business which was a heartbreak for me because those are the best cinnamon rolls EVER! Anyways, when we were in the Charlotte airport, I saw some random lady with a cinnabon. Sadly, I had already had some hot cocoa and some sandwich from California Pizza Kitchen (yeah, I know, great diet). The last two days of our trip I constantly "re-assured" Mark that we would go to Cinnabon on our flight home. When we finally got to the Charlotte airport, the first thing I said was, "where's that cinnabon!". Mark said it was the highlight of "my" trip but I think deep down, it was the highlight of "our" trip.

THE END
