Day 7 Sunday, February 23rd: Moving day to the Marriott

Unlike the vast majority of SAP people we are not leaving today. Air Canada does not fly to Toronto on Sundays so we relocate to the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort at the southern end of Seven Mile Beach. The Westin had no rooms for tonight.

It is raining this morning and pretty windy as well. Off to the breakfast buffet and outside seating. I get my waffle much faster this time. For this morning it is mostly cloudy and windy. Lana has saved some chairs at the beach. After getting back to our room the sun comes and goes. At the beach earlier Lana runs into her bosses and they end up discussing some work things. She is off to a gig in South Carolina tomorrow rather than returning home with me.

Relaxing in bed in mid-morning and Lana watching a cooking show. Lana is depressed about going back to work tomorrow. Stayed in our room and re-packed our suitcases. We go to the pool side bar for lunch again. Unfortunately, Lana is system has been acting up so no appetite whatsoever. When checking out we find out we have about $50USD extra credits left which go towards Lana's spa treatment a few days ago.

We walked across the street to catch the public bus for a five minute ride to our new resort hotel. $5USD bus fare much cheaper than the damn taxis here. Our check-in is pretty smooth although their famous Sunday brunch is occurring and it is busy and very loud. We are in Room 344 with the room upgrade (Lana's status) and can overlook the ocean and the pool/beach below. We have a large, sunny room with a king-size bed and a bathtub for Lana. What the heck, the wifi/internet works with my Macbook!

Lana has her 4:15 spa treatment appointment. She is still not feeling that well. Randy heads to the beach. Getting a beach towel is easy here. Very narrow beach. Windy as well. Water is not very clear for whatever reasons? It doesn't get deep here and lots of objects on the bottom to beware of. I think I got spoiled with the Westin beach. The sun came and went. Back to the room, clean up and start on our blog. Lana really enjoys her spa treatment and feels much improved.


We are both hungry and easy decision to eat at Peppers (Bar & Grill) located just across the street. This authentic Caribbean casual joint was highly recommended by our Jeep driver Yves yesterday. We loved their food and casual vibe. Their jerk pork was incredible and tasted just as good the following day at the airport (leftovers).

             Our plate of food; beans, rice, jerk pork and bbq ribs. Delicious and very reasonably priced!



          This is where the magic occurs with their delicious meats!
