On Island Time
YIM AND RICHARD WONG
GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS
When their children were younger, the Wong family looked for-
ward to vacationing together as much as they could. Over time,
gatherings became less frequent. Then along came their first
grandson, Nathan, reigniting the family’s passion for travel.
Seeking a tropical escape, it was “a no-brainer for our family to
exchange our timeshare week” for a Grand Cayman visit, says
Nicholas Wong, their youngest son. With parents, children,
spouses, and grandson in tow, the group enjoyed exploring
local sights and scuba diving or snorkeling multiple times a day.
“When we were not in the ocean, we were taking long walks on
the seemingly endless white sands of the Seven Mile Beach,”
Nicholas says. And the sunsets were unforgettable, he adds, even for baby Nathan: “Judging by his wide-open eyes and
a look of astonishment across his face as he kept his gaze upon the ocean, we were sure that he, too, was speechless
from such a breathtaking view.”

European Reunion
JOANNE V. LINSELL
AVIEMORE, SCOTLAND
JoAnne Linsell’s family traveled from three countries to spend a week together on an
Interval exchange in Aviemore, Scotland, reuniting in celebration of her in-laws’ 50th
wedding anniversary. “My husband and I flew over from America, my in-laws drove up
from England into Scotland, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law flew in from
Germany,” JoAnne says. “This was the first time that the family had been together in
two years!” The whole traveling party enjoyed the surrounding outdoor beauty, hiking
in the mountains of the eastern Scottish Highlands and riding the funicular railway —
the highest in the U.K. — to the top of CairnGorm Mountain, where they took in
panoramic views from more than 3,500 feet. They also went shopping in Aviemore
and visited five historic castles. And the group took full advantage of their resort
kitchen, making dinner and eating together each night. “It was a wonderful time and
we were all sad to leave!” JoAnne says.
