The Other Half

Now on to Grand Cayman. If you like beaches, and you plan on getting married at any point, you should seriously consider Grand Cayman for your honeymoon. We went to Kauai, which overall, was incredible with tons to explore and do, but as far as beaches and snorkeling, Grand Cayman was perfect. Part of it was probably that we enjoyed the comforts and phenomenal service of the Ritz Carlton, but the water was more perfect than I ever thought possible. It was far more pleasant to swim and snorkel in than any other body of water I've ever been in, and far warmer than most pools I've ever been in. 

There are plenty of really fun snorkel spots anywhere along the 7 mile beach and around the island. The water was so calm that it made snorkeling very easy and way more fun than trying to battle the waves in Kauai. One of the highlights of the trip was the "Stingray City" tour we took. We got on a boat that took us to 2 amazing snorkel spots before taking us to a sandbar packed with people and stingrays. Incredibly docile stingrays. It was actually quite unnerving being in the water during a stingray feeding frenzy, but once we got used to it, it was quite the experience. They were actually quite like dogs vying for a treat...or cats using your leg for a free massage. Here's Chris (Liz's brother) in the water with a few clearly visible. They were a lot larger than I expected.

All in all, it was a great and amazing trip!
