Personally, I would NOT walk from GCBC to restaurant row. Too many DARK patches. If the guy with the golf cart is around, I would do that. The only time this trip that I personally felt uncomfortable was leaving after dinner around 10 PM one night in Grand Case, walking down the street. I heard a scooter coming up the street behind us. I heard the scooter and said "Oh H*ll no!" We stepped between two parked cars and faced the street, with Eric between me and the street. I was NOT carrying a purse, by the way, just a small bag with my camera in it. I personally never carry a purse on SXM unless I am by myself. They went past without any incident.
