SPECIALTYNONE
Business or pleasure? Don't answer that. Grand Cayman has no market, so Bodden mostly waves through people carrying money.
HOW IT PLAYS
Grand Cayman comes with the Cayman account, $1.99 in the store, and it has no market at all. What it has is a bank paying 4% a day, twice the rate in New York or London. Money in it is safe from pickpockets and fines, and it compounds while you fly. The island is one day from New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, and two from everywhere else, so a deposit costs at least two days of flying and two days of the uncle's interest. Do that arithmetic before you go. Sam Bodden's line is lax and sunny, and with nothing to buy or sell here, the only thing he could find is whatever you carried in.
