CAYMAN BRAC AFTER DARK
Most visitors and islanders view hanging out at a bar and having din-
ner as an evening unto itself. Most travelers hit the sack early, prepar-
ing for their next day 's adventure early in the morning. D on't expect
the late-night festivities to go much past midnight.
Except on the slo west of ev enings, there's usually one spot that 's
hotter than any other because it 's featuring a DJ or liv e band. The
venues vary, but your hotel staff will usually know where to direct you
to find the evening's best entertainment.
