I have been to CT 4 times in the last year. It is the most strikingly beautiful place I have ever seen. I have been to many countries in the world, and have a great deal of expereince in travel. I feel generally safe in CT, as long as I follow big city intution. (garnerd at the expense of working in awful neighborhoods in Balitmore as a bill collector out of college). CT in the CBD or the winelands is phenominal.

I would argue you will be fine if you keep your wits and listen to your own common sense. I have not been to BsAs, but owudl love to go,and have some collegues from there who rave about it.

Hope this helps.
