Chapter 539: Caribbean Honeymoon

Seeing this, some people may want to complain: What you say is nonsense, so many tourists in the world who have been to Cuba, can't they go to the United States again?

This complaint makes a lot of sense, but it's not comprehensive. Cuba has come up with a way to earn foreign exchange by traveling abroad, which is not to stamp the passports of tourists, especially those countries that are under the priority of the United States immigration authorities, such as China. If you want to travel to Cuba, don't go by yourself, it's best to find a regular travel agency, so that when you enter Cuba, there will be no record in your passport, and it will not affect you when you go to the United States in the future. In fact, the USCIS also knows about this thing, and everyone just turns a blind eye and pretends not to know the way.

But Hong Tao is on his honeymoon now, and he doesn't have time to go to a travel agency anymore, and Irene, an American, definitely doesn't have a visa or not visa in his mind, so they have to give up the attraction in Cuba and choose this route around Cuba.

The cruise ship is huge, 12 storeys high, and Hong Tao's honeymoon suite is on the 11th floor. The higher up the room on this cruise, the more expensive it is, because the room is smaller the higher you go, the bigger the balcony and the better the view. There will be security checks when you get on the ship, and most of the places where people gather in the United States have security checks, and Lao Mei has to be scared of Uncle La, airports, trains, museums, memorials, and memorial halls have to go through security checks, and they also have to go to the Statue of Liberty for security checks.

After the security check, you will queue up to receive a boarding card, which is a personal information card with the details of each cardholder, and even the avatar is scanned in, don't want to take someone else's card and pretend to be. In addition to showing this card when boarding and disembarking on the ship, it is also bound to a credit card, and all purchases on the ship can be carded, and there is no need to carry credit cards and cash, which is very convenient.

From the already snowy Buffalo to the sunny Caribbean. The cracks of the bones all over the body were sunburned, and there was a lazy smell. The first two days of the cruise are spent on board, as the ship departs from Miami and needs to go southwest around Cuba, cross the strait between Cuba and Haiti, and then southeast to reach Jamaica.

In fact, it is quite comfortable on the ship, since the ship leaves the port, those old beauties have been getting out of the cabin one after another, running to the deck chairs of the water sports center on the top floor to bask in the sun and drink beer, if you don't like quiet. There are also other activities to enjoy in the cabin, where there are Internet cafes, billiards, shops, bars, casinos, theaters, cinemas, golf and a whole host of other things waiting for you.

Hong Tao and Erin chose the most cost-effective and convenient way to entertain, that is, chatting. It's also fun to sit on a deck chair on the top of the boat, sip a cold beer, and chat with tourists from all over the United States, and get a glimpse of the different personalities of the United States.

Of course, casinos can also try their luck, but the ancient Chinese have long warned Hong Tao that he will not win. Because the ancients said: if you are proud of love, you will be disappointed in the casino! In the end, Hong Tao and Erin lost 50 yuan, and then quickly got out, and they must not fill it in again.

In the evening. You can choose to dine in a more traditional western restaurant, go to one of the restaurants with performances, or simply order a takeaway to make do in the cabin. After eating, go to the deck and hug your wife or someone else's wife while blowing the sea breeze and muttering. This feeling should be called mood, right?

On the morning of the third day, the ship's radio finally sounded, informing everyone that the port of Ocho Rios had arrived. This is a small port on the north side of Jamaica with a population of about 10,000, rich in bananas and white sand beaches. With only seven hours left for the tourists, Hong Tao and Erin didn't join the group of tourists who wanted to go inland, but just went to the famous Bond Pier and spent most of the day in the sea.

The reason why Bond Pier is famous is mainly because of this world-famous surname, Bond! That's right, this Bond is the James in the movie series 007. Bond, as early as 1962, the 007 series "Dr.No" was filmed here, so the blue water and delicate white sand beach here have gradually appeared in front of the world with the movie, and since then, it has become a tourist attraction.

At half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, according to the time notified in advance, the tourists began to return to the cruise ship one after another, there is still a lot more verbose here, and you have to go through the security check when you get on the ship, it is not easy to be an American, you are worried all day long, how many brain cells do you have to die! As soon as Chinese the robbers heard that it was Chinese, the desire to rob was gone, because they knew that when you robbed a rich Chinese person, you must be able to issue a large VAT invoice, and the robbery process will be very smooth and friendly.

After a night of sailing, the fourth day was Georgetown, the capital of the Cayman Islands and the largest city in the region.

As soon as you hear the name George, it must have something to do with the British Empire, so the Cayman Islands is also a Commonwealth country. It is the fifth largest financial center in the world after New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong, and the fourth largest offshore financial center in the world. In fact, what financial center is not a financial center, people who come here to open a company to do business, only two words: tax avoidance!

It is really cheap to buy something here because there are no customs duties. But this is a trick for Hong Tao, because unless he brings things back to the United States, and after adding the American tariffs, it can be slightly cheaper than in the United States, and other than that, it is meaningless, even if you bring things back to Canada, it will be a loss, because Canadian tariffs are very high. Don't even think about bringing it back to China, compared with China, Canada is embarrassed to say that tariff.

Aside from the financial centre and tax haven, the Cayman Islands have only one specialty that can be picked up – stunning beaches and crystal clear waters, making it a mecca for divers.

The water here is really clear, and when you look down from the boat, you think the water is probably only half a meter deep, because you can clearly see the sand and various small shellfish on the bottom of the sea. But when you jump down, you will find that the depth of the sea is more than 2 meters, and the water is not blue but pale green.

If you're willing to spend $30 on a boat to go a little deeper, you'll find something a lot of fun, but don't go for the faint of heart, because that sea creature has a terrible name: manta rays!

Manta rays are actually a type of sea rays, also called sea rays or manta rays, with a flattened, round body, and a small tail at the back.

These manta rays are abundant near the Cayman Islands, and they are not afraid of people, they are just around you, and if you buy a little squid from a vendor as bait, it will be very difficult to suck the squid out of your hands! It is indeed used to suck, its mouth is toothless, like the entrance of a vacuum cleaner, and when it sucks the squid in your hand, there is a possibility that your palm will be sucked in and then spit out, so don't be afraid.

Hong Tao and Erin also jumped into the water to feed a few manta rays, and then took several photos with their bodies in their hands.

Of course, the manta rays here are just one type of sea ray, and they pose no threat to humans. However, this is only limited to the vicinity of the Cayman Islands, so if you see similar animals elsewhere, don't approach them or touch them with your body. Because among the sea rays, there is a kind of creature called spiny rays, which looks like ordinary sea rays, but they have a hard spike on their tails, which is highly poisonous, and once they are pricked, they are likely to die.

The 6 days and 7 nights passed in a flash, and when the cruise ship returned to Mia Code again, Hong Tao and Erin's honeymoon vacation was over. After another two days in Buffalo, Hong Tao stepped on a plane to Chicago, where he would connect for a direct flight to Beijing, while Erin would return to New York to continue her return to the law firm.

Regarding the issue of separation, Hong Tao and Erin also discussed it carefully, and also consulted Sam and his wife. Erin doesn't want to be a full-time wife too early, she is still quite assertive about her career, although she is not a strong woman, but she is still a little pursuing.

Hong Tao has no motivation to let Erin be a full-time wife, mainly because he is an idler himself, if there is another idler at home, the two of them will stare at each other every day, and get together every day. Rather than this, it is better to keep the status quo first, as for whether there will be any changes after a long time, then Hong Tao can't control it, he firmly believes that it is not a business to catch up, it is going to rain and the mother wants to get married, let her go, it is his own, and he can't keep it sooner or later.

In fact, the days of their little two people living apart will not last long, Hong Tao, the business of this human trafficking subsidiary, is thriving, just in the month when he and Erin are preparing to get married, there are almost 7 or 8 batches of customers who are ready to go abroad for hunting and tourism are already waiting in line, and there are many customers who consult and prepare personal materials, the end of the year is a relatively intensive period of holiday for Chinese, and it has been busy for a year, many businessmen and bosses also want to find a new gadget to relax.
