So our plan for our St Barts trip is to stay the night in Philipsburg and then take the Great Bay Ferry. I haven't done much international travel, and don't really know much about St Maartens, but the hotel we're thinking of staying in (Seaview) is on the boardwalk in Philipsburg, and is just about a 10 minute walk to the ferry (according to Google Maps, at least.)
Maybe my question is ridiculous, and I'm kind of hoping it is, but I feel like if we're walking with our luggage all long the boardwalk, it's like wearing a big target saying, "we have all our posessions, including all our money, on us". Would this be a safe thing for us to do, or are we better off taking a cab to go what I'm guessing would be a 2 minute ride to the ferry?
