They take the "art" of street begging to levels that make me want to puke!
Been to that island several times on cruises and resort weeks. The last time I stayed on the damn ship and when I was at the resort I NEVER left it!
That island is a pox on what is the beauty of the Caribbean. Wanna go to a nice one? Antigua...St. Maarten...St.Barts...Van ******...St. Vincent...Martinique...but see, you're not escaping anything. The cost of goods is higher. The landscape is nice don't get me wrong, but look what a gallon of milk costs or the taxes on a house or villa and get back to me.
If you really want to run...Panama, Costa Rica, Belize..even Argentina would be better destinations for cheaper living with a modicum of the life you're used to living now.
Just saying'.
Have only been there on a cruise. I could see the begging from the balcony! I was just venting. They DO have Piton beer though! can't get it in the states.
I would rather stay in the states, if i ever move. It just sucks to see the politicians ruining one of the best places on earth! My opinion of course. within a short drive you can be at the ocean, mountains, farmlands and the Chesapeake Bay! Some of the very best bass fishing on the planet!
You know, this country was built on tobacco from right here in good ole MD! Now the farmers here are given incentives to NOT grow tobacco!
It just sucks!
St. Maarten here I come! Now we're talkin.......
