Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - American visitor Mitch Carson tells his story of how he misunderstood the price given to him for his taxi ride from Grand Bahama International Airport to his hotel. He thought the driver told him that the fare was $35 when in actual fact, the driver told him $25.

After paying the driver $35 and leaving the taxi for his hotel, the driver realized that Mitch had over paid him. Rather than keep the $10, the elderly driver drove back to the hotel and returned the $10 to Mitch, exclaiming the he over paid him. Mitch was so taken by the driver's honesty that he gave him the $10.

As a result of the grumpy elderly taxi driver's honesty, Mitch has become an enthusiastic promoter of Grand Bahama, advising all to come and visit Grand Bahama Island and when they do to look for the green van driven by the elderly man. Mitch says "He's grumpy, but he's honest!"

Mitch Carson is visiting Grand Bahama to attend the Wealth and Freedom Mastermind Group's event taking place in Freeport. The group came to Grand Bahama as a result of Angelika Christie's invitation, Angelika is member of the organization.
