Living on Grand Cayman

What is it like in Grand Cayman?
First of all, we are small - 6 miles (10km N/S) and 20 miles (32km E/W) with a population of about 60K. Last time I heard, there was around 135 nationalities represented here. We have a nice climates (low of 70F in "winter" and highs around 90F in summer) with daytime variations of around 10F. Of course, when you are in the sun, it feels lots hotter. We are 500 miles south of Miami, 300 miles west of Jamaica and around 100 miles south of Cuba.
The place is fairly friendly with people still greeting you with good morning/afternoon when they pass. If they have seen you a couple times, they will stop and have a chat. A single woman in a car with a flat will have guys stopping to help her change the tire. Break down and someone will offer you a ride home. Need to borrow phone because yours died, no problem. The basic goodness of people is visible everywhere.
This is not to say that we don't have our share of crimes. Murders are usually drug or other illicit activity related or from relationship problems (caught the guy with my wife/girlfriend sort of thing). There are fights at bars and some car racing but overall, you are safe in the daylight and most nights. You will see single women walking along Seven Mile Beach in their bikinis at night and no one bothers them. Of course, I am not too sure what happens there around midnight or later!
The largest part of the population lives on the western part of Grand Cayman - Bodden Town, Savannah, New Lands, Prospect, George Town and West Bay. The eastern (Frank Sound and East End) and northern districts (Old Man Bay and North Side) have small populations and still retain the quiet tropical island feel.
Most people work in George Town and commute both ways each day. This produces predictable traffic problems that can be dealt with by leaving work a bit early or later in the day. In the mornings, you come in earlier (before 7:30) or after 8:30am.
Socializing take place at bars, restaurants or at home with family. Sundays are big church days with many choices available according to your beliefs.
The pace of life here is a lot slower than more "civilized" places. Things just don't get done in a hurry and you learn to live with it.
Depending on your lifestyle, you can easily end up with a lot of free time on your hands to explore your various interests. Many take up fishing or spending time on the beach. Some do gardening, participate in sports (soccer/football, racquetball, rugby, baseball, golf, tennis to name a few). Others exercise (going to the gym, running, cycling, walking), take up photography, astronomy, bird watching or volunteering at a non-profit organization. You decide what you want to do!
Most people are fairly well off - in a middle to middle upper class kind of way. These will usually take shopping visits to Miami, Tampa or other places in the US and take a break from the island at the same time. Life is good down here for most residents.
The Sister Islands of Cayman Brac (pop. 1200) and Little Cayman (pop. 100) are both around 10 miles long and 1 mile wide. Life is even more relaxed on them and when they visit Cayman, they want to get back to their peace and solitude as fast as possible.
Around 95% of items in Cayman are exported from the US. This ranges from food to cars, clothes and entertainment. You can receive satellite TV and US newspapers on a daily basis. The health system is good and facilities are the same as the US. If in trouble that cannot be handled by the local hospitals, Miami is 1 hour's flight away.
