Taxi driver, Nassau, Bahamas
July 2009

This gentleman was my taxi driver from my hotel to the Nassau airport. He was a very good driver, plus he was clearly very proud of his island, giving lots of information and tidbits about places we passed along the way. I should've asked if he had a business card - he seemed like the kind of guy who would be good to hire for a half- or whole-day tour around Paradise Island. I particularly liked that this gentleman was so nicely dressed, and clearly took care and effort in his appearance and his job. I shook his hand at the airport and he had a lovely, firm grip. (Learn to have a good handshake. It says volumes about you as a person!)

He was a very pleasant change from the driver I'd had when I had arrived on the island, who blasted the stereo and drove in a manner that made me worried about making it to the hotel intact!
