: I was considering the same thing. My first choice are the Cayman Islands
but
: I had business ties to the Bahamas and since I hadn't been since the 1980's
I
: thought maybe it had developed. Here are the facts.
:
: 1. Their best private school (St. Andrews) looked worse than our public
: schools. (not that the system is bad... just a very old school)
: 2. If you want to live in a nice neighborhood you better have a lot of extra
: money (if you want to be able to stay as long as you like you need to buy a
: $500,000 home (cash, I think).
: 3. Crime is off the charts! You will not read about it in the papers
because
: they keep it hush-hush. On my last business trip I stayed in a hotel on the
: very S. side of downtown Nassua. What I thought were occassional
firecrackers
: were gunshots. So forget anywhere near downtown.
: 4. However, most everyone are are very nice and friendly.
:
: In the end, I decided that until my son is out of school we needed to stay
in
: the U.S.


Oh, and of course there are less populated islands that may be more suited to
your style. I was looking at Nassua (New Providence Island) because of
business reasons.
