Arriving on Cayman Brac

Today we began our week long vacation in the Cayman Islands.  Five years ago we came to these islands with our children (some of them anyway) and stayed on the Grand Cayman. This year we decided to venture onto a smaller island in the group.  Cayman Brac is only 12 miles long and 1 mile wide.  It does, however, have bluffs or cliffs made of limestone that are particularly good for rock climbing. We transitioned from a typical sized airline to a small twin prop plane with about 10 of us on board.  The short flights between islands were beautiful and exciting.  Especially the landings on the short runways and the choppy air.  Deb and I sat right behind the pilots and watched them make their tricky take-offs and landings.  First we touched down for a few minutes on Little Cayman and then finally the Brac.  We rented a small car.  It has been interesting and a little scary to drive on the "wrong" side of the road.  Hopefully I will manage without any major mishaps this week.  The island is small so the speeds are slow.  Tomorrow we venture out into the ocean to snorkel and then find some crags to climb on.
