*Hi;
Are the USVIs relatively safe? What precautions should we observe?
Thank you
Tommy

Yes, they are relatively safe. By "relatively" I mean that if you use your head, you will have no problems. I've been here almost 7 years (anniversary is at 8:35 p.m. on January 18th) and not had any problems at all. If you are wandering down a dark alley at 2 a.m., you may encounter problems, or if you leave your thousand dollar video camera on the seat of your rental car with the windows down, I wouldn't expect it to be there when you got back. But, if you use our head, like you would at home, will have the vacation experience of a lifetime! Come on down!!

Marty,
We should throw a party. Hubby and I got here on January 13, 1995. Still safe and happy.

Hello Marty,

Sharky's is the bar above Wendys.

OH! I know that place! They just recently changed their name to Sharky's, didn't they? I usually hang out at the Offshore, right around the corner. Sharky's works for me...let's do BOTH dates! haha!
