Happy new year everyone!!!
I wish everyone health, happiness & prosperity in the new year. Lots of fireworks here in Grand Cayman last night. As soon as the clock hit midnight, we went out side to see the numerous firework displays. There were lots in our neighborhood, but we could also see those all the way in George Town & elsewhere. They lasted till around 12:30.
About that prosperity thing above, it would seem that those prospering enjoy spending new years in Cayman. Cant really blame them! Here is a quick picture of the private jet parking at the airport. I counted around 15 or so Lears, Challengers & Gulfstreams. Normally there are only 2-3 at any given time.
Did you check out the big yacht that’s been in for several days — it appears to be the Tatoosh (Paul Allen’s, one of the original microsoft guys).

Thanks! I had seen his other boat once ; The much larger “Octopus”. Had not seen this one though.
I have really enjoyed your site — it was helpful as we were planning our trip. If you have any interest in our experiences, I did a blog at http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/mecllap/
(feel free to delete this if you don’t want it on your site). I need to finish it up and add more photos — as usual, we absolutely loved our visit there (and are totally jealous that you get to live there!). I think the only thing we didn’t see that we had planned for this trip was the lake with all the iguanas — but we saw plenty of them around and my grandson got to hold a couple for an hour or so at our resort.
Micho! Hope you all are doing well – we’re not jealous here in CT (t’s 13 degrees…) Nope. Not jealous at all…
Cheers! Hope to be down soon!
