The Wenches of the SOS Dancing Queen
NOVEMBER 15TH. Pirates Week.
Some girlfriends, lead by our Head Wench Lisa Uggeri, created a float for this years annual Pirates Week Float Parade. Weeks of planning, building, and dance practice (yes, we had a routine to Abba's Dancing Queen which we performed over and over and over again), paid off when we won 2nd place in the General Category for our float, the SOS Dancing Queen. Below is the blurb that Wench Diana wrote for the judges:
"Having sailed the Seven Seas, since she last graced the shores of the Cayman Islands in 2002, SOS Dancing Queen and her crew of Wenches is returning to her favourite and home port. Their gathered loot will provide ample subsidy to the people of these verdant isles, so 
that the finest products from the four corners of the earth will Cost U Less and provide Massive savings to one and all.
The streets of Cayman will be sweetened as they pass providing temporary sustenance to the joyous revelers gathered along the way…
The Wenches of the Dancing Queen have indeed gathered many treasures and proudly display their over-flowing chests as they parade through George Town having the time of their lives. They can Dance….. And you can 
too….
Welcome Home Wenches!"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
OCTOBER 31. Ghouls, crazy clowns, cute little devils and .... Dog the Bounty Hunter? Halloween was, as always, lots of fun for the kids and grownups alike! The evening began with the always popular annual kids party hosted by Googie and Shane. Ryan and Taylor - aka Punk Zombie and Cute Little Devil - enjoyed bobbing for apples, the donut
eating contest, and trick or treating around the neighbourhood. The kids had a great evening. Once the kids were settled and getting their candy overload, the adults had a party to get ready for - David & Kelly's annual Halloween party at Beach Club Colony .

THE BIG ONE
OCTOBER 18TH. David and Steven Hart, who came down from Atlanta with his wife (and my BFF) Rachel for David's birthday weekend, went fishing with Guy Harvey the day after the party. They caught a 45lb tuna and had a fun day of fishing at the 12 mile banks.
DAVID'S END OF 30s BASH
OCTOBER 17TH. David closed out his 30's in style. In true Kirkaldy fashion, we had to do somet
hing different and unique to celebrate the momentous occasion. We rented an empty unit at the popular plaza, Governors Square, and spent 3 days transforming it into a nightclub for the evening. As the DJ spun tunes, and the caterers produced an amazing array of food to satisfy our taste buds, the party, consisting of about 60 friends and family, continued until the wee hours.

SEPT 11. TINA TURNS 39
The plan was a very low key birthday this year. WOW - my girls gave me a wonderful surprise! I walked into Icoa Cafe for a quiet lunch with Lisa, and 13 girls were there, awaiting my arrival with champagne, a beautifully laid table, and a delicious menu. Lisa, Aoife, Diana and Gilly pulled off the perfect surprise birthday lunch. Such a happy day surrounded by friends I love.
Later that evening, David surprised me with a romantic dinner at the Ritz in a private beach cabana. 
This was a great day of celebrating as I slowly approach the big one.

Sept 5-6. Diana's 40th Birthday Weekend
Girls just wanna ha
ve fun!! I had such a great time planning my friend Diana's 40th birthday celebration at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. The weekend kicked off with 7 girls checking into the Ritz-Carlton. We enjoyed champagne and jamming to 80's tunes while doing hair and makeup, and getting ready for the big night. Once all dolled up, we went downstairs and joined the rest of the fabulous party girls for dinner at Blue by Eric Ripert. The evening was a huge success!! Party bags filled with girly fun, personalized M&M's and 
photo confetti adorned the festive table. After a wonderful dinner with great frie
nds, we all went upstairs to the Silver Lounge for after-dinner drinks and dancing. The evening was festive and fun, and epitomized friendship. The next day, some party goers enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at the Silver Rain Spa. Facials, massages, and more champagne was a perfect ending to a great weekend.

Cayman Brac with the Matthews
Aug 22 - 25.
A relaxing weekend in Cayman Brac with Aoife, Mark, Michael and Lara was just what we all needed to end the summer. The timing, and weather, was perfect as we now prepare for Hurricane Gustav's approach. Mark and David enjoyed 3 nitrox dives on Saturday while Aoife, Tina, and the four kids chilled out at the condo, enjoyed the pool and explored the beach. On Sunday, we went on an Island tour exploring the caves, The Bluff, and snorkeling at sunset. We flew back to Grand Cayman on Monday in time to start prepping for Gustav. As the rain beats down, it is hard to believe that a few days ago we were enjoying our beautiful Sister Island.
