Creator's Key Takeaways

Cheryl and I have done a ton of these over the years and for the most part we've enjoyed them

the tradeoff to that is they're virtually guaranteeing that you'll be back before that ship leaves which is kind of important

you're also supporting the local businesses because especially with VOR VOR takes I don't know what their percentage is let's say 10% you know the rest of that money that you're paying them goes right into that local economy

if you're an adventurous soul and or or you trust the person who's telling you about this taxi driver have at it have fun
