Westin Hotel, Grand Cayman - Wed, 17 May 2023, 6:30am
Yesterday was a pretty full day. We swam with stingrays then went snorkeling and played with starfish. By the time we got back to the hotel around 5:30 I was a) hungry and b) tired. Hawk and I went straight out to eat at a variety restaurant across the street. (It's half the price of hotel restaurants, if not less.) When we got back from that I was crashing hard. I lay down to sleep around 8am and was out like a light shortly after that.
This morning we had our alarms set for 6am. You'd think with falling asleep just after 8pm I'd have gotten a full night's sleep and then some, being well rested for another packed day today. Alas, no. My dumb ass body woke up at 11:30pm and then would not go back to sleep until, like, 5am, and hour before the damn alarm. So today I'm functioning on about 4 hours sleep.
Like I said, it's another busy day today. We'll grab breakfast here at the hotel when the restaurant opens at 7, then meet the guide at 7:45 in the lobby to leave at 8. We'll visit the Cayman Crystal Caves and the royal flower garden. We'll back back in time for lunch... by which point I may want a nap more than a meal.
