Ahh, what bliss... to feel the tiles cool underneath your feet, a cool breeze on your skin and drier air than what I've gotten used to over the last 6 weeks (almost 7). Do I have to even say that I slept like a baby last night?

Power came back last week, water 2 weeks before that, phones came up (except the one phone line that has our ADSL connection) and now air conditioning. As nice as it is, there are a lot of people who still don't even have a roof over their head yet. I made a pact with the devil himself today and traded a future favor with a technician from Cable & Wireless to get our ADSL circuit fixed this afternoon.

Work crews have been going up and down West Bay Road (the main road that goes up through the hotel/tourism section and Seven Mile Beach) and trucks have been going around at sundown and collecting up all the refuse and waste that they've been collecting up.

Cruise ships will be here Monday. Two are scheduled to stop here and the current limit is four per day for the next two weeks. The infrastructure and satisfaction of the cruisers will be examined in that time and perhaps additional capacity will be added in time for American Thanksgiving which is when stayover tourism will start back up again. Cayman Airways has put out their Winter 2004 Shedule and will pick up the Chicago route again on Dec 17th, as well as start up the Boston route then, too.

Don't forget that this weekend is the shoreline and underwater cleanup dives.
