Hey Alexis! Unfortunately I don’t have any info beyond what’s in this post, but I guess I’d reach out to several bands and see which are the most responsive and decide from there. What a killer 30th birthday idea! I love it!

I am so glad you wrote this post. I am planning my 30th birthday trip around the festival and would love to participate in the walk. It will be 10 of us staying in a villa may 4-may 9, Do you have any other recommendations on bands & cost? As well as boat party suggestions?!

Thanks,
Alexis

We can’t wait to do it again someday — on Cayman, or maybe even one of the biggest celebrations on another island!

Ahhhhh, I really hope to make that happen someday! Thanks for the offer for advice — I’ll take you up on it when I finally get there 🙂

As a displaced Trini, your account of Batabano bought back memories of playing mas in Trinidad. You should definately try and make it further south some day – similar but different (think scale x100) experience. If you ever want tips for planning a Trinidad trip around carnival or otherwise just get in touch.

Wow, sorry to hear that about Tribal Jason, though interesting to hear we weren’t alone. I’ll be interested to see if they are jumping this year. Pretty much everyone I know in Cayman is jumping with Swanky this year!

Headed down for Batabano this year for the first time and searching the internet info was better than most sites. Yes, you must do Trinidad if you enjoyed Cayman, its on a completely different level though so prepare yourself! Wednesday to Wednesday would be the best week to go. We also have a similar experience with Tribal unfortunately. Was due for an $800 business payment and it took almost 18 months, countless emails and calls and an actual physical confrontation to get payment. Well cheers to life! great review!

I just wear flip flops, which I’m sure I’ll pay for someday. I do have my Tieks now which I was wearing all over the US, but it feels kind of funny to wear anything but flips in Thailand!

I laughed out loud at your sneaker comment – I feel the same way,and hate wearing tennis shoes out and about. I’m on a mission for cute, comfy walking shoes to wear when I go to Asia…if you have any suggestions!
