From I-ShopTheWorld.com “on tour” in The Caymans.

We arrived safely and soundly in Grand Cayman after a short and uneventful flight from Miami and a restful and pleasant night at the La Quinta hotel near the Miami International airport (MIA).
We were promptly picked up at the Grand Cayman airport by our transfer service to our resort, Tropical Tours, who provided us with a nice commentary on the areas of Grand Cayman airport to our resort. On our trip from the airport we passed the Tortuga Rum Company home of Tortuga Rum Cakes, Yumm! 
(Note to Ourselves – get I-ShopTheWorld.com“hooked up” with an Associate here in Grand Cayman to offer Tortuga Rum Cakes Direct to The World! )
For those of you that may not already know this … since the Cayman Islands is part of the British West Indies and therefore formerly under British rule, and called the Tortugas due to the many turtles they found here, they all drive on the left-hand side of the road, like they also do in the Bahamas, rather than on the right-hand-side of the road as we are used to in the United States, you know? We always find this interesting and a little “disconcerting” when riding around on “formerly British islands” and this is one of the reasons we don’t generally drive ourselves when we travel, you know? Nor do we recommend others drive for themselves when traveling in an unfamiliar place either, you know?
Sorry, but I digress, so …
Back to our arrival in Grand Cayman …
We arrived at the resort around 5 PM local time and where promptly greeted with Elizabeth, the receptionist’s, inviting smile and warm welcome! Elizabeth from Honduras, professionally informed us of, and answered all of our questions regarding, all of the amenities and events here at the resort and we were escorted to our room. The room is clean and acceptable with all the necessary amenities if a bit small and our room does not have a beach view ;(,
but …
In our opinion, the hotel/resort room when you are on “vacation” is merely just a place to sleep, and we generally don’t spend much of our waking time in our room, so …
We dropped off our luggage in the room and promptly strolled out to the resort beach front on Seven Mile Beach.
What a Beautiful Beach! B-) with white fine grained sand and very placid waters stretching for miles and miles!
After a brief stroll on the white sand beach, we took a seat at the nice large beach bar, right off the beach and made friends with Donovan, the bartender from Jamaica, and some of the other guests! After sampling the local beer = Caybrew and what Donovan says is the best local rums = Blackbeard, it was time for dinner. We had awonderful dinner of grilled ribs, chicken and king fish with all the “fixins” at a candlelit table overlooking the beach and bay as the sun set! B-)
Recap of Day 1:
Our first day of our trip to The Caymans has been Very Productive! …
Our logo shirts that we had rush ordered from Palm Prints in Melbourne, FL were Popular seemed to attract a lot of attention and some inquiries about I-ShopTheWorld.com!
We have already met and established initially relationships for potential I-ShopTheWorld.com Associates / Representatives with each of the following individuals and the counties in which they are from and/or have family and friends:
Elizabeth – the desk clerk at the La Quinta with family and friends in Cuba
Gabriela – from and with family and friends in Venezuela and currently studying at the university in Panama.
Elaine – we met at the Grand Cayman airport from Jamaica
Elizabeth – the receptionist at the resort from Honduras.
The numerous staff members here at the resort from Jamaica
And we are sure we will meet many, many more nice people from all over the world in the days to come!
Tomorrow, July 4th we hope to be meeting with the Activities Director here at the resort and arranging our tours and excursions for our trip.
Ok, enough for just the first day of the I-ShopTheWorld.com Tour in The Caymans!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackYou are making me jealous. I spent my Independence Day “vacation” week working to restore damage vandals caused to my vacation home in North Carolina last fall when they broke in and stole the copper electrical wire and plumbing pipes for resale on the recycling market. I did manage to sneak off to a local Christmas in July festival, but wasn’t inspired to make a purchase. I’ve gotten very discriminating about the crafts I buy. I want to buy products with quality that offer something unique and rare like the items I’m seeing on i-shoptheworld.com. Looking forward to your continuing reports of your trip and your new product offerings.
Your Website has become quite spicey indeed.
From natural dried chili spice to coriander seeds.
Spices are a very tasteful addition, but they can’t take the cake,
Compared to what the Tortuga Rum company already bakes.
Glad you had a good shopping spree;
Sure saves a lot of effort for stay-at-homers like me.
