Shoe, I agree with Eastender about the Avis. It's a real local paper for STX. The do need a proofreader desperately. In one obituary it stat...
Brandy, My neighbor across the road has two small two bedroom cottages available. Email me if you want more information.
David, Eve is right about storing your stuff for a while. Finding a furnished place is pretty easy. That will give you time to find just the r...
Good Luck. This is not something I would attempt with children. And, in our experience $3,000 is cutting it VERY close. Give us a call when you...
Perhaps what you read was in regard to the license plate on the car. If you bring a car here, you must immediately get VI plates. You can't drive on...
Debbie, My wife and I have lived here for a year and a half (Goodness time flys). Where you are comfortable on the island is up to you. If yo...
I tell folks who come here, "Welcome to the 1950's". My wife and I have lived on STX for about a year and a half. It's a lot like living in the 50's...
There are 30 or so moving stories on this board. Take a look. I think they are under "what to expect".
Have you been to the VI? If not, you should SERIOUSLY consider a 2-3 week pre-move visit.
Another woman on this site, Theresa, just started her kids in public school. Hope she sees this and comments.
Frogs, birds, mongoose, and, where we live, the occasional deer. Also wood rats, but we don't talk about them.
We live on the north shore of STX
We have a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. We have full coverage and I think it was about $900 for the year. We are with Executive Insurance. This is a g...
Ann, My wife and I went thru two editions preparing for our move to STX. It (like this message board) is a great tool. Ric
Ian, Hotel on the Cay rents Jet Skis on St Croix. I don't know what their rate is. Ric
Anina, We have about 51,000 year round residents here. We have about the same crime rate as any city in the states of that side. My wife & I h...
The primary rational is that STX generates the majority of the tax $$ and doesn't get an equitable return. I beleive the figure is 75% of the USVI t...
You really cannot do this from a distance. Come down and look around, especially before you buy.
We pay social security, medicare and federal income tax. No "state" tax and no sales tax. The federal tax doesn't go to DC, itstays here in the terr...
I think it also has to do with the fact that we don't pay Federal taxes.
Scott, Which island are you coming to? I think there are maps on line. There are no really good maps of STX. The best one is available at t...
Darrell, Either will work. I have both. Since you're moving in Jan, the SUV might be better. It will be winter after all. :)) Welcome t...
K&K, When Linda & I came for our premove visit, we did many of the things you mentioned. We visited several grocery stores. We walked around ...
It's very small. The slots are VERY tight IMO. They do have table games. If you're on-island and like casinos, it's worth a visit. But a special ...
Mari, Opening a bank account here is a little trickier than stateside. You need to open the account with cash. Most of the banks here will hol...
