Hello! My name is Val Kegel and I feel very fortunate – I absolutely love my job, and I absolutely love the Cayman Islands! As a flight attendant for a major airline for 52 years, I have spent the last 20 years flying to and from Grand Cayman several times a week. During my flights, I find out first hand the best of the best of Cayman. During my flights I have asked thousands of passengers five questions:
- Where did you stay on the island?
- What businesses gave you the best service?
- What was your best restaurant experience?
- What was your favorite activity? What would you do over?
- What was your best Cayman shopping experience?
Passengers give such good and frank advice; I summarized their comments in a Fun Fact Sheet which reflects the best of Cayman. It takes 7 Excellent reviews to get on the sheet, if I hear three bad you are removed till I hear 7 great reviews again. Many folks download the sheet to have a handy Cayman Travel guide which if you show the sheet you will receive 10% discounts on many of your favorite restaurants! If you are lucky to be on my flight I usually have a few to share.. One thing about passengers, they will tell you what is hot and what is not! The popularity of the Fun Fact Sheet Download led to this website, which offers so much more. So enjoy and I hope you fall in love with the Cayman Islands too!
