I tried to hard to find a job and live in the CI. But no avail.
Love talking to anyone about the islands. Would love to know more about the cleanup form Ivan. Live in FL and had fun with a few “H”‘s but nothing like Ivan.

I know you want to support the local economy as much as possible, as do we, but I was under the impression that you can bring in four litres of wine and one case of beer per person.
Also, you can bring in beef again. As long as it has the USDA stamp on the package. It is also a good idea to bring the receipt. Up to $35 per person is allowed. (I think, correct me if I’m wrong)
We do go out a lot and try and tip generously, so we aren’t total cheapskates.
You are HARDLY a cheapskate……..you’re going back already and you just got home a little while ago!
Do you take wine down with you or were you just being helpful? I ask, because I’m a wino generally but rarely in Cayman. Also, I have a ton of work to do that I despise (computer crap) so I feel the need to ask ANYTHING that will keep me from having to do it.

We also take Benadryl…for just in case. Aloe gel for burns is another good idea.

Celine,
I usually bring one of those 3 liter wine-in-a-box. There are some decent ones available now. I like the Hardy’s Chardonay. It’s about $13 here in the Louisville are. This trip my sister the wine snob will be coming so I will have to get Kendall Jackson or something like that for a lot more, but much less than the $20 per bottle on the island.
Well, us winos better get back to work!
We take a collapsible cooler and parafoil kites.

Thanks smithereens, good tips.
Celine – I didn’t add the bag because I had zip lock baggies in there. Ever try them? I never used to use them but my wife swears by them. She brings the large kind and we always end up filling them up whenever we travel: Shells, gifts, leftovers, you name it. They come in really handy.
*** Funny, I still say “here” as if I were at home. I am actually typing this from our condo in Miami. ?
