this has been repeated over and over, but here is a quick recount. everything is bascially 25-30% more expensive then the US. the electronics are ludicrously marked up, so stock up on whatever u need before coming here. also take off all tags and open all packaging before you come here so u dont get charged customs (personal affects older then 6 months are not charged duty)

:wink:

I was just wondering, once I arrive in Grand Cayman airport, do they search everything in my immigration suitcase? (my suitcase is really big) almost every items in my suitcase is wrapped up with that bubble cushion thing...

nah they dont check anything at all, from what i remember, you just have to declare your items and they take your word for it. leaving the US though, they go through everything (at least they did in LAX), but you should be ok with all the bubble wrap.
