I know it's a bit off subject, but have any of you been to Little Cayman Island?  I'm planning a trip there this month and I understand that there's not much there, but any advance notice of things to do would be great.  I plan to scuba dive a lot, and I don't really drink much so night life is a...

I just finished reading a blog post by a broker in Michigan, telling us all about what a great place to live her community is, and I caught myself envying the folks that live there.  Then I thought for a second and remembered what a great place I live in!  If you haven't been here, Woodland Park ...
