My winter break has been great because of a lot of reasons. I brought some of my best friends down to Detroit, met some new people, and even traveled to the Cayman Islands for vacation. Coming down to the Caymans was a real eye opener for me because of all the fun events. There are many great things that my family and I have done here that I can't wait to do again, like swim with sting rays, drive on the opposite side of the road, and, of course, drink a lot. I emphasize drink a lot because everything we did involved alcohol. It is vacation, so it is allowable to say how much we really drink.
Throughout the past five days, I have experienced a lot of the island life and can't wait to come here again. Looking at the stars on a boat, sunset cruises, listening to a love band every night, and even ringing in the new year with people I had never met before. The people on the island are so nice and welcoming and I believe I might invest in a time share of some sort down here because it really is beautiful. Being able to see the sunset every night is a great sight. No clouds, just a perfect sunset right in front of you with no buildings to block it. Just water for as far as the eye can see. Another thing that I love so much is the number of stars you can see at night. It was so much clearer than populated places, I even saw a few shooting stars which were incredible! The many constellations beat out Saginaw any day, you can see some clear as day.
Coincidentally, my family booked our trip without knowing that our cousins were on the same flight and going to the same place, which ended up being a really fun way of hanging out. We hung out together twice, once to watch the Lions game (which I have no comment about), and the second time we were on a private boat together catching fish and swimming with sting rays together. It was a blast and I am really glad we came down here together. I had the best lobster of my life at the Calypso Grille. We ate it under the stars on the patio which was amazing. I ate some great food on this trip, and I want my mom make it for me when I get home because it was just that good. The lobster itself was very juicy and buttery making it so great!
One day, I would like to bring my family to the Caymans so I can share the same experience with them. This was a great family trip and I believe that it was one of my favorites to bring in the new year. I met a lot of fun people here and can't wait to tell all of my friends about my trip. If you are looking to bring in the new year somewhere, come to the Cayman Islands and the Westin hotel because it's a magical place!
