It has been a LONG time since we have been to Grand Cayman. So let me start off with kind of a funny story.
John and I went years ago and spent some time shopping in town. (I did get a nice ring from my hubby so heads up on that ladies!)
We were told after shopping that it would be a few hours before my ring was sized and cleaned so we went beach-hopping. Let me start off by saying that I have no idea what beach we went to but we got there by cab. We had a nice day. Rented a sea-do and just chilled out. At some time or another we decided we should probably head back. We could see the port area so we thought "what the heck... Let's walk down the beach. It doesn't seem to be that far." And so we started.
Needless to say, that ship was further away than what we thought. Have I mentioned that walking down the beach gets REALLY hot?
At one point one of us said "maybe we should go and walk along the street and see if we can find a cab?" And so we did.
We walked and walked and never saw one cab. We kept getting honked at by passing cars so we would temporarily move away from the side of the road so we didn't get hit. After a VERY long walk we made it back to the jewelry store, got our purchase and headed back to the boat.
At dinner that night everyone at our table was talking about their days and so we told them about our day too and the fact that it was so odd that there were no cabs by us. Someone immediately asked "So no cabs honked at you as they passed to see if you needed a ride?"
John and I immediately looked at each other and knew to say nothing of our ignorance that all of those mini vans and cars that passed us were in fact cabs that would have picked us up!!! Our original cab out to the beach area was an actual cab and that is why we didn't realize!
Anyway... You are now more informed than we were!!!
Lesson learned: honking cars are cabs in Grand Cayman. And although something seems like a pain in the butt at the time, it will be something that will become a life-long memory that you will still laugh about 10-20 years later!
Oh... And since it has been a week since I posted I MUST ask?!?!
Can we go yet?!?!?!?
