You are going out of your way to (for the most part) go to someplace that resembles a bad part of town. If you really want to go to the Caribbean, try PR. Less shitholey.
Or just avoid the whole third world shithole experience and go to Poland instead.

On non-resort property, St. Thomas looks like a shit hole.
Again, another reason to go to Florida instead.

When I went around 2000, they accepted birth certificates.
I know most you guys are in CA, so Hawaii/Baja Mexico is technically closer for you and this may not be the best place to ask. But I'm sure someone has been. I want a Red Stripe right now.
