And there is also the Turtle Farm in the Caymans...man...there are some big old suckers there! Seven Mile Beach is a very good walking beach. And don't forget mailing a postcard from Hell...lol. We were in the Caymans in the late 80's/early 90's. Had a great time but I have yet to have a bad time in the Caribbean. The key is doing your research ahead of time no matter where you go - there are some great websites ie tripadvisor.Com & Debbies. Cayman is not the place to go if you like nightlife. No Casinos etc which is a plus for some. I found St Martin had the crappiest beaches. Antigua has some nice beaches ie on Dickenson Bay are walking beaches. Also Aruba has Eagle Beach & Palm Beach which are great beaches. For the best steak I have ever had, El Gaucho in Aruba....mmmmmmmmm. Aruba is the only Caribbean Island that I have been to that has street lights on most roads. Very clean, safe island. Expensive tho but it currently ranks as our fave. Been to Mexico twice(Manzanillo & the Yucutan) & wasn't fussy on it.

If Cayman's water (and other things) is that superior to Jamaica, indeed, it must be something to see and experience! Seriously...I'm not trying to be facetious.

Everything you've described is how I would describe the places we stayed in Montego Bay...except for the crime. However, our hotel was so well guarded (gated), it never affected us as long as we stayed on the grounds. Of course, during the day it wasn't a problem to go wherever we wanted.

So tell me, Troy ...on a scale of 1 to 10, how does Cayman compare to Galveston? LOL I haven't been there in years but as I recall it wouldn't be worth the drive anymore except perhaps for a great seafood place called Guido's (sp?). I wonder if it still exists...this was over 20 years ago?
