I hope you’re having a great day. It is cold outside across much of the United States today. Here are a few photos from the warm and beautiful Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman Island. All of these were taken with my drone.
Spa Desk
I don’t remember which Carnival cruise ship this was on, but this was the spa desk at 5am in the morning.
Playa Resort
I don’t know the name of this resort, but I loved the design. I took this via the drone at sunrise which provided the warm glow and deep shadows. Maybe someday I’ll stay at this location????
Sunrise Yoga
During our last trip to Mexico, the resort held a yoga session on the beach at sunrise each morning. I didn’t participate, but the yoga group helped provide an area of interest in this high angle drone photos so that it was an empty beach.
Iceland's Blue Lagoon
For Thanksgiving this year, I’m grateful for my family (by blood, marriage and great friends who I consider family…you know who you are) and this year’s experiences.
Here is an aerial photo from our Iceland trip last summer. This is the famous Iceland Blue Lagoon from a perspective that most people never see.
Backyard Zen
My happy place when we’re not on the road. Enough said!!
Favorite Grand Cayman Pool Spot
MJ and I have used these two loungers more times than I want to admit….. They sit at a wonderful spot on the Kimpton Seafire Resort property.
Miami Beach Pool
What more can I say? This is, what it is. Confidante Hotel and Spa in Mid-Beach area of Miami Beach.
Seafire From The Air
I’m not a very good video editor, sorry about that. Regardless, here is a collection of drone footage I captured during our last stay at this great resort (March 2020). We stayed there right before the pandemic hit the United States. It was our last trip before the world fell into crazy land. Thankfully things are moving in the right direction, let’s hope we can all get back to something close to normal by the end of 2021. Until then, enjoy the video.
Paradise
I miss traveling to wonderful spots around the world….. How about you? Let’s hope we can start to get out and about in late 2021. In the meantime, I keep using past photos as reminder of good times.
I took this drone photo on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman back in early 2020, right before the world got shut down. By the way, this specific resort is the Kimpton Seafire Resort and Spa.
Seafire Christmas
I took this photo last December while staying at the Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman. You can’t see it, but just to the right (off the photo), they had a life size gingerbread house setup that you could walk into to get holiday favored and themed cocktail.
Where I Should Be Now...
Here is another holiday photo for you. I took this last year at this time and if not for COVID, I’d probably be there again…. I miss you @seafireresort. Someday I’ll be back to visit you and the rest of Grand Cayman.

Cayman Pool
This photo and almost everyone I’ve posted in the last few months are from a better time…. We’ll get back to better times at some point. Until then, I’ll keep posting images that remind us of happier days and amazing places.

Beach Pool
I hope you’re having a great weekend. I’m dreaming of future travel, which has me thinking about our past travel. Here is a photo looking down at the Kimpton Seafire Resort on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.

Post Cayman Sunset
This is the beautiful sky about 20 minutes after sunset in Grand Cayman. The amazing pool and resort are pretty good as well. Good times……right now I’d love to be back at this spot. But like everyone else I’m doing my part to limit the spread of COVID-19….so no travel for a while….

Seven Mile Beach Sunset
I know I’ve been absent from my blog and social media lately. No excuses. So, to make it up to you, here is a sunset from tonight. MJ and I watched this baby set at Coccoloba’s on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. Of course, I captured the sunset with three different cameras (Sony A7riv, DJI Pocket Osmo and my iPhone). Here is the Sony version.
Seafire
I took this photo of the Kimpton Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman back in December. I loved the color of the ocean and sky in this photo. I took this at sunset right before we joined our group for dinner.

Purple-Yellow-Green
I didn’t know how to describe this photo. I took it in Mexico at our resort pool just prior to sunrise. When I look at this photo, the colors Purple, Yellow, and Green jump out to me. Even more so, than the objects in the image….. Probably just me.
