Sarah and Sam finally made it. I am not going to comment on how long it took, or anything about the route they chose. ;) I think we are going to give them the name of a travel agent for next time. We picked them up Monday night at 8:30 from the airport. On the way home, my car broke down in the pouring rain. Since we had no wheels on Tuesday we just hung around our house. We flew out for Switzerland Wednesday afternoon. My car still wasn’t fixed, so we arranged a ride for Sarah and Sam to pick it up that afternoon. When they went to get it, they drove it out of the lot, and it was still broke. So they brought it back and walked to the airport in the pouring rain to rent a car.
Friday night a hurricane category 3 hit the Caymans Islands. I am sure Sarah and Sam can give you more details, since we weren’t here. There wasn’t much damage to Grand Cayman. But our sister islands Cayman Brac and Little Cayman really took a hit. I guess Brac is 90% destroyed. It’s devastating! Sarah and Sam were out of power and water for a day and a half. Good thing we stocked up on candles before we left! A couple of our friends checked in on them to make sure they were okay. When we got back, I found a notepad with tons of card game scores on it. I guess that is all they could do with no power!
We haven’t talked to them because they are in Hawaii getting married and having their honeymoon. The weather did clear up for their last 3 days here. Hopefully their experience in Grand Cayman hasn’t discouraged them from coming again. We’d love to have them come back with the boys!
I will write about our trip to Switzerland in my next blog.
Congratulations to Holly and Kenny on their engagement!
Congrats Sarah and Sam on tying the knot!
Our thoughts are with my cousin Aimee and her family as her little boy is back in the ICU. Hang in there Jace!
