How awful. I keep on warning people to not go to these 3rd world supposed island paradises. While a US territory it's still 3rd world. Same goes for Jamaica and the rest of the popular destination islands. If someone made you go to a 3rd world country people would protest and only go kicking and screaming so it's amazing that people actually pay to go to these places to me. You are better off spending a bit more and going to one of the European islands/beach resorts like Monte Carlo, Isle of Capri in Italy or Ibiza Spain or one of the many Greek islands or seaside resorts. The extra you pay in money is worth it because you are actually getting something culturally out of it.
Should have stayed in Maryland...Perdue toxins haven't gotten that bad!!! LOL
Leaving the country period is stupid these days.
Leave the county , not the country.
I'm checking labels after reading this.
9:28 ignorant sentiments of someone I wager has never been off the Shore.
Check all the labels you want; methyl bromide doesn't come in a bottle. And you can't buy it without a license.
Every one of the above comments made me laugh! It could happen anywhere! We frequent St. John often and it is definitely not considered third world. Just stay in your house on the good old Eastern Shore and hide from the world.
4:06 Was born in France grew up in Monaco attending grade school, spent summer in Switzerland where we had our horses and it was cooler, and have been all over Europe on vacation. Visited the US often (Middleburg VA mostly) while growing up and made US residence since attending college in DC. Still travel abroad almost yearly since have homes in 2 European countries.
So "wager" until you are blue in the face because you will lose. Now where have you been?
8pm you can type all the garbage you want. Your first comment speaks for itself.
Most important question no one has asked. Did they have any problem with bugs during their stay?
