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. There best private school (St. Andrews) looked worse than our public
schools.
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.
