    A ton of extremely wealthy people visit there. It’s almost becoming a regular tourist destination, but for a long while it was very exclusive

      I’ve been there 7 or 8 times on business. There are some great beaches if you like that sort of thing. I wouldn’t think a ton of tourists is a very good description. For that, I’d think Barbados would be better.

        I was there last Christmas. I didn’t know when we went but they have an extremely high crime rate.

          Yeah, you gotta have your street smarts. But, it’s that way in most of the Caribbean and it’s not true of all the Virgin Islands. St John’s is fairly tame.
