Andrew Bacon, that is.... (and apparently he has a few rabbi fans, so he must be kosher !)
Starting this week, Andrew Bacon, MC, DJ and Entertainer, has joined the team at The Reef and can be seen on Wednesday evenings at Castro's Hideaway beach bar from 5:30.
Andrew was for many years the Activities Director at the nearby Morritts resort, so he looks forward to greeting many of his old friends here at The Reef.
Come show Andrew your support for his Wednesday party and you never know, we might be able to convnice him to do something on Mondays too :)
So, we now have Andrew Bacon on Wednesday, Barefoot Man on Tuesday and Thursday, virtuoso "Steel Pan" play from Michael Lemay on Mondays....it's all happening :)

Entering Grand Cayman - Update
In the light of recent controversy over passport requirements we don't want anyone getting confused, (or worst case - stranded at departure!).
There was word in our regional press that the US Government were about to delay the need for travellers to obtain a passport until June 2009 - which would have been a nice bit of breathing space for everyone. But our hopes of the delay have been dashed once and for all - Here's a quote from the most up to date press release on this matter, from the Caribbean Tourism Organization (looks like cruise-ship passengers are the only ones who are off the hook for now):
"(An) amendment delays the implementation of the new passport requirements until June 1, 2009 for land crossings at the Mexican and Canadian borders and for cruise passengers coming to the U.S. from the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada or Bermuda but still requires all U.S. citizens traveling by air to these regions to have a passport by Jan. 8, 2007.
If you don't have a passport and will be visiting Grand Cayman after the 8th of January - now is the time to apply for one - quick smart!
Be sure to contact reservations@thereef.com if you have further questions about this matter.

'Snow joke !
This week Cayman is having the first cold front of the season. Some gray skies and high winds (they even had to close the George Town harbourfront the other day). Boy, the daytime temperature barely got above 70, and the windchill (!) must have been in the low 60s.
On the other hand, yesterday, for the first time in three years, Mickey Mouse got snowed upon. According to the Orlando Sentinal, it snowed in Orlando !
Downright strange weather for Thanksgiving week in the Caribbean, this front has dipped down as far as Panama, and they must be finding it extremely odd to feel cool in November !

Sneak preview of our new website
It's been very quiet on the blog front for some time now for us here at The Reef. OddBlog is now living in the North of England and very busy with the "good old" BBC. Coolbeans has taken the brave leap of moving to Calgary to go to University. What is it with these folks and cold weather ? :)
Anyway, in addition to key members of our team spreading to the ends of the earth (or at least Manchester !), we are also working feverishly behind the scenes on our brand new website. I'd love to give an exact date for the launch, but "soon come" is close enough !
In the meantime, we just finished an ad layout for a future issue of Caribbean Travel and Life magazine. The editors there LOVE The Reef, but we also like the magazine, hence we have decided to advertise with them next year.
The new ad gives a preview of the "look" of our new website, tell us what you think !

Hello from Calgary!!
Hello everyone!! This is my first blog from the great white north!! Just in case some of you have forgotten, I am in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) A lot has happened in the past few months, a few which I wish to just forget, a few which will follow me for life, but school is great. The teachers are excellent, public transport is great, it only takes me 20 mins to school. For shopping and such, well, that's another story!! Was thinking about getting a car, but as I have never driven on icy roads, decided against it!!. Oh, and by the way..I'M LOVING THE COLD!! It took some getting used to at first, but I think I have acclimated pretty well (yes I know it will get colder!!). As promised, I have included pictures of my first snowman!! This was harder than I thought, as it all looked sooooo easy on tv u know, but I discovered that picking up a snow man sized ball isn't as easy as it looks!!! No worries, in the end, I accomplished the task, and for my first one, I must say I did a great job!! The snow was only about 8-10 inches deep, but it was a great experience.
I will blog more later. I will be attending the Presidents Ball at the university on Thursday Nov. 9th. I won the ticket for being one of the top employees ( I work part time as well), so that is all exciting. I will post photos in a few days. I am also looking forward to more snow (I know I know, I must be sick!! LOL), but don't forget, I am not driving, so I don't have to deal with the car not starting, or the traffic on the road. I just sit nicely on the bus/c-train, and let them do the driving. I just loving watching the snow fall, it so beautiful. Ok everyone, thanks for reading!!
