Fake Tan, Anyone?

Not for the Carribean wedding party that I'm covering this Christmas, that's for sure.

When Laura Scanlon told me that she and hubby-to-be, Tim, are living in the Cayman Islands my interest was immediately piqued - yeah, I admit it, I thought she was flying me over there to cover her destination wedding - but I was just as glad when she told me that her event was taking place down in Kenmare, which is one of the most beautiful locations you could ever hope to visit!

I know that our lot have practically planted ourselves in every nook and cranny of the world but I was still somewhat surprised to learn that the Cayman's has a thriving Irish community; we were built for wind and rain, weren't we? I was even more surprised to learn that they have a GAA club. Laura assures me that they are going to update their website www.caymangaa.com.ky but it's well worth checking out, IMO... I even noted some Na Piarsaigh ladies in there... Back in the day (when I was eleven :)), I used to play for the Stacks and we'd travel up to Na Piarsaigh for weekend tournaments.

So there you have it... next time you head off for a sun-drenched week or two in the Cayman Islands bring your boots and togs with you!
