I have no quarrel with the BVI getting a high ranking but I took the time to read all of the descriptions in the article on all the islands and found them to be extremely superficial at Best.

Not only are they usually very superficial, but the criteria that they use are almost NEVER the criteria that I would use. Last edited by denverd0n; 06/21/2017 09:13 AM.
