I love this. I lived on Little Cayman for a long time. My husband and I sold Pirates Point to Gladys Howard. We owned the runway and Hanger and built The Villas and The Hungry Iguana. My husband, Sonny Hughes died 17 years ago at 60 from Pancreatic Cancer. In my heart he roams Little Cayman, with all the ghosts of adventurers, plotting and planning. I live on Grand Cayman. My heart remains on Little Cayman.

If you ever return, I would love to sit down and talk to you about the old days on Little Cayman

I was there in 97 I worked at Edd's place restaurant and bar and his bar also at spot bay. I was there when the island princess died (Eva) may her soul rest in peace. It is indeed a beautiful 💎

THANK YOU a thousand times over for posting this video! It was filmed before I joined Cayman Airways as a DC-3 copilot. I flew with Capt. Christopher McLaughlin (and occasionally with Capts. Harrison Bothwell and Wilbur Thompson) to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman as my first flying job. Looking back, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world!

from 1988 - 1989 we two lived on cayman brac for almost 2 yrs...on the south side. we loved it. on sundays we went to little cayman's point of sand. there was a shack there where we would have a fish fry and a few refreshments. my X worked on the gerrard smith airport on cayman brac. the name has changed now. i still want to go back !!!

Proud to be Caymanian!!

Thanks, I'm glad I dug it out.

Love love love this - congrats! I've lived in Cayman for over 30 years now and love Little Cayman.

outstanding! I'm headed there again in two weeks. Leaving there is always very difficult as the serenity cannot be matched. Thank you!

Great job, Bob and Jon! I've lived on Grand Cayman with my Caymanian husband for 35 years. We honeymooned on Little Cayman 15 years after you made this video (in '85). We still go to Little Cayman as often as we can because, thankfully, it is still Paradise on earth. Do you ever get back to the islands?

Regrettably I have not been back since.

Awesome video, love seeing the old footage. I go there every year and its absolutely my favorite place, like a second home. I love the fact that most everyone knows me and vice versa. Hope they never change it, limit the number of resorts and never expand the airport…that will ensure it stays small and special. Little Cayman is a hidden gem.

What a great video. It was always my favourite island to visit. "A vacation from your vacation!"

I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. It's still a lovely place.

Thanks for sharing this video. Always heart harming to see videos from 'back in da days".

Thank you, thank you!... for sharing this fabulous video! So many memories!!! I hope you guys got an A+ with extra points on this project - you deserve it! God bless you!

My favorite vacation spot! love it!

Little Cayman, I don't feel a stranger whenever I go there. The Southern Cross Club is fantastic still nowadays. A must see of unspoiled land in the Caribbean. No highways, no rush as stated at the end of this little documentary.

Such wonderful memories, wouldn't trade my island life for the world!

We got an A and 4 credits each for the course!

Great video! Thanks for posting. I moved to Grand Cayman from the States in August 1975 and miss the "old days" of growing up here. It is so developed now on Grand Cayman compared to when I arrived here, but that is the price of progress I suppose.

Wow! Excellent. I love it. ;-)

Thank God...Little Cayman doesn't look anything like Grand Cayman...Glad his prediction was wrong

Great job Johnathan! you could have been the next David Attenborough narrator! Love your homemade background music and hand drawn graphics. Did you get an 'A' for the project? Or did you not turn in your work until 2012...

Thanks for the nice look back in the past. The nice thing is at the end he was wrong. Little Cayman isn't all built up like he thought. There are slightly more modern facilities and a 17 seater Twin Otter drops people and some goods off daily. The population has only increased to approx. 120 people right now. Of course there are tourists in the summer, but there are not very many.

Have you been back?

Brac is pronounced like rack with a b in front of it. Not like the candy company.

little Cayman, Cayman Islands. Not Little Cayman Island.
