In the most random coincidence ever, I ran into the people who used to live next-door to us when I was a little kid and we lived down in South Jersey! Melody and Wayne Holbrook were our neighbors and were good friends with my parents. We moved up to North Jersey and they moved away to Chicago and I hadn't seen them since 1985! They were standing in front of us while we were boarding the plane and I freaked them out when I was like "Are you Melody & Wayne?" They hadn't seen me since I was 9 years old! Craziness.
It was overcast and drizzling a bit, but we didn't care. It felt great to be away somewhere! By the way, Check out the logo for the Cayman Islands' only airline!
It's a pirate turtle with a peg leg! Awwwww! According to the internets, in 1503 Christopher Columbus was the first European to come across the Caymans and he named them Las Tortugas (the turtles) after all the sea turtles in the water around the islands. And later on in the 1800s, the islands became a popular hideout for pirates. So you know, someone there got creative, combined the two things the island is most well-known for, and VOILA! You've got yourself an airplane with a giant, peg-legged pirate turtle!
Two more hours later and I'm conked the fuck out. Meredith managed to slyly sneak my camera out of my pocket to capture me in all my gape-mouthed glory.
