Kodak Guide to the Caribbean: Bermuda, Bahamas, Jamaica

Craig’s notes

We put on the Kodak travel guide for vacation night. In Bermuda, the narrator said people cut their old cars in half before throwing them away. I missed it the first time because I was reading something, so I had to hear that again. Once I did, I kept wondering how exactly they cut a car in half.

The tape also took us past a birdcage traffic cop, a maritime museum caretaker with a peg leg, and a witch-dunking story. I was still thinking about the cars. We got into the Bahamas section before chat picked the next tape. The guide mentioned a dinner-cruise boat used in Never Say Never Again, and I wanted to party on that thing.

That's where we stopped. Jamaica is on the case, but we didn't reach it in this viewing.
