Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
A great experience. I have only done 2 years. Many stay longer but for me it has made the heart grow fonder of the UK for all it's failings. There is good and bad points but that is the same everywhere, it's all about what you make of it. You will enjoy the experience I am sure.

Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
You got lucky, Londoner! Maybe your employer has a good connection...
\ As for whether you will enjoy it or not. We came here for three years in our late 30s (40 years ago), and stayed because it suited us down to the ground. We had a two-year-old son at the beginning, and we reckoned it was a perfect place for him. He, now mid-40s and single, still loves the place, although he isn't living here just now. You'll be fine. |

Apologies TandD. I didn't read your earlier post!

Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
Thanks people!
Really looking forward to the move now. Just need to set a date to head out. And figure out how best to get the other half (we're not married) out there with me. |
Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
Best of luck. One tip. Buy your toiletries before you get here. $6+ for a deodorant. And get some mossie repellant. They are on the warpath just now.

*** No, I tell a lie. It's $1.39 on special this week - 60 cents off, according to the flyer below. (The exchange rate is roughly 1:1 to the pound, Londoner.) https://fosters-iga.com/specials/weekly/ |

Didn't know that Gordon! Maybe my wife is trying to tell me something! Just back from UK and emptied the local bargain store of deodorant, razor blades, shaving foam and sun cream.

It's MacSween's haggis I'm looking for! Some nonsense about no offal allowed. Heathens!

Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
Hi All
So finally touched down a few days ago, with the other half. And so far the whole expierence has been pretty interesting. The poeple we've met have been great. The food..... Amazing and the views, Incredible. I dont start working until next week. So just using this time to explore, take in the sun and viewing potential places to rent. The new employer has given me a place to rent for 4 weeks. |

Re: Ticket to the Cayman Islands (from the UK)
Just thought I'd provide a small update.
Slowly starting to settle into island life. Work is both challenging and somewhat enjoyable. The collegues seem decent too! Any rugby or american footballer players here? I'd like to give the Touch versions of these sports a try. |
