    i KNOW, right? Firefly i tellya it was like the airport staff were living in some alternate universe, and had NOT a CLUE what people had just gone through.... perhaps since we were white tourists they could not imagine that we weren't coming from a nice clean protected A/I in Mobay. LOL, we just thought it was hilarious and ridiculous.

    also LMAO @ stealing the toilet, i know it was not in any way funny at the time, but now? - i cannot help but BOAL!

    Wow, some great stories. The toilet is a hoot!
    I was moving to Grand Cayman, when Gilbert hit. At the time not many people here knew about the Cayman Islands , it wasn't talked about as a tourist destination like Jamaica. When I arrived there was much destruction, I had just left there in July to await my work permit so it was very clear to me what Gilbert had done
    I believe Jamaica suffered a lot more destruction than Cayman. It was Hurricane Ivan that really wiped Grand Cayman

    Yes Lady Jane, you see the eye of the hurricane went through Jamaica hence the devastation. Yes it was Hurricane Ivan that wiped Grand Cayman. Hurricane Ivan lingered outside of Jamaica on the South Coast, it was eerie actually at nights. when there is no electricity and you hear the banging on the door. wow it was awful for me. But I wrote a poem about it. one day i will print it.
