First off – Happy new year 🙂

So that’s it folks for the Cayman adventure and this blog as you all know it. 10 years and 10 months – now back to Canada.  Yes, you read me right and this is not my traditional April fools post!

353 posts (including this one), numerous posts about running, diving, snorkeling, hurricanes, Spotts Beach, other Caribbean islands and a whole lot more about what I call “Cayman randomness” – stuff we did on the island that we enjoyed.

To be perfectly honest, this blog has always been for me.  What I mean is that its a diary of sort for my time in the Cayman Islands. Some day, when i’ll be an old man, I am sure I will read all of these posts again and remember fondly these pretty and sunny islands. I will probably also take a peek once in a while, maybe when it’s -35 degrees outside.

Whats next : hobby farm life in rural Quebec on a large plot of land just north of the US border of Vermont.  Also spend more time with Julie and less travel. Maybe ill start a new blog and call it “Living on a farm in Quebec”.  On second thought, I probably will not.   I am definitely excited about this new chapter; different for sure! From beach and iguanas we will now see forest, fields, cows and chickens – sounds like a lot of fun to me.  I have never disliked winter in case you are wondering.  I have always felt that people who hate winter are the ones to stay inside and complain about it.  As with many things in life, if you embrace it, you can enjoy it.  Snowshoeing, ice fishing, skating – all great Canadian winter fun.  Not to forget the pleasure of a roaring fire in the fireplace on a chilly night with Julie.

That being said, I am honored and delighted to have had so many readers and comments over the years.  A number of you have been commenting and sending me emails for many years now.  I am flattered that you have found my content interesting and that I did not bore you with what I chose to write about one or two times each month since 2006.

I may still post from time to time, since it is very possible that I am not entirely done with the Caribbean and may have to visit a few islands here & there.   This Website & blog is not going anywhere and will stay online.

If you are just discovering this blog in 2018 or beyond, apparently it takes about over 4h to read this entire blog – I have received a few messages over the years telling me so which is why I know this random fact. I hope that you will find good information here for a vacation or a move to the Cayman Islands.  If you are planning to move, be sure to also read https://caymanresident.com/ which contains 99% of what you need to know.  If you are offered the opportunity to move to the Cayman Islands – do it!  If you wish to reach me, simply click the “Email me” link on the right.

Thank you once again for reading about my Cayman Randomness over the years.  I had an awesome time living through all the events detailed and writing about them.

… And with that, the sun has set on this adventure! Below is a picture of the sun setting from Spotts beach on my last day in Grand Cayman. I also got in a final snorkel which was awesome as always ; turtles, a stingray, a huge Barracuda and even two lobsters 🙂
