We want to line our wedding aisle with big gorgeous conch shells and we have had a hard time finding the ones we want in Florida. The Florida conchs are smaller, not pink, and cost 20 bucks a piece in the KEYS. (Look in the post before this one for a pic of the Florida style conchs)
When we saw these in the Bahamas we had to have them.....22 of them at $5 bucks a piece. WTF???? They are PINK and I love them.
It was hilarious carrying that many to the cruise ship... Amazing Race style. We had 30 minutes to get off the ship,buy them, and get back on the boat with super heavy conch.
We did run into some problems at the U.S. border...we were detained for over an hour.
We had too many and it was considered intent to sell. They were tired of looking at us an had bigger "smuggling" concerns at the time.
So we have the shells and a great story to tell.
