I hate doing that.


I thought tourists cannot rent cars in Bermuda. I heard they can only rent scooters, and that the scooter driving is dangerous. But I did hear the public transportation is easy and very affordable there.

Anguilla is gorgeous (honeymooned there) but it's teeny tiny and there really isn't much to explore. We saw the entire island by rental car in 1 day.

You cannot rent cars in Bermuda so not sure how you were driving around. Mopeds only for tourists.

Aruba. They even have US Customs on the Island of Aruba. In other words, you clear US Customs in Aruba and then fly to the US. It is very safe!
Rent a car and use the WAZE app!

For safety and ease of driving (and modern medical care, if that is an issue), Aruba and Grand Cayman are your best bets.
