Thanks for sharing Sharlene and Schuttzie. I am going back to JA in Feb. Staying in Treasure Beach with people I know I can trust. People that have kept in contact with me even though it's been 3-4 years since I've seen them, people that have never asked me for anything, people that support me and still welcome me even though Matt and I are not together anymore. Like you said, there are TONS of good people and safe places. I will be going back so don't worry. I'll be sure to make a trip report when I return. I've learned a lot in my few trips to JA and although I felt jaded, I can't stay away. You all know the feeling.
You know...I thought Antigua and Montserrat were amazing. Montserrat was amazing and no trouble there at all...but Antigua...I didn't go on the last trip because Matt and I had recently separated but he and our friends still went. Matt was accosted in an alley behind a restaurant when leaving. He was robbed of about $300usd. The police were chatting with the robbers as they walked away. Bad things/corruption happens everywhere.
