My point was that just like us, if your dog is allergic to a centipede bite, I'm sure it could be fatal.

St Lucia and the USVI's are very different from each other. Do a PMV. The good news/bad news is that they are very Americanized and developed. It all ...

I haven't had a dog bitten by a centipede, but I had one stung on the nose by a scorpion (on another island). Luckily I was home because his nose star...

wannabeanislander, yes, the first time one of my dogs flew he vomited all over his kennel. He was still a puppy so I didn't starve him before the flig...

I took the first flight STX-SJU (I think it was 7:30 am) then SJU-MIA with my dogs. I was still scared it would get too hot, but they judge the temper...

The movie "Sicko" comes to mind. I want to think it isn't a true reflection of health care in this country, but it seems like every week I hear a new ...

Tammy, I'm sorry to hear you lost your dog. It is one of the hardest things to get over because as terry says, very often other people don't understan...

I've now found Diatomaceous Earth that works for the fleas, but still nothing for ticks.

I would agree that STX is a hospitable place for dogs in general, but the flea/tick problem is terrible. One of my dogs is allergic to Frontline/Advan...

VanFaasenC, I'm just worried about your "maybe dog" comment. I hope you aren't planning to abandon the dog if you move.

Onika, I'm in South Florida now. Went to school (Aesthetician) in Ft Lauderdale and advanced classes in Miami. trw, believe it or not , some men ...

Hi Onika, very descriptive! I do waxing, and for the purpose of pricing we only offer two choices - Bikini or Brazilian. Bikini we only take hair fr...

Onika, do you know yet what the "unpleasant incident" was?

One of the biggest negative points for me living in STX was the bugs. I came home from work late at night a couple of times to find a 6" centipede wai...

Angela, did you ever go diving with Dive Tobago out near Pigeon Point? I worked there one season many years ago. That is when I fell in love with the ...

That sounds like a good plan. Always check that the dog has been loaded (a friend of mine once had her dog left on the tarmac in Toronto, in the winte...

Thanks Ms Information and terry. I had given up on this subject already as apparently rokipatel knows everything about immigration laws in the Caribbe...

OK, rokipatel, maybe that is why those islands are so peaceful and doing so well! My point was that there are no longer any "colonies", only "protecto...

rokipatel, to the best of my knowledge, the U.K. has not had any "colonies" for many years now. A few of the islands are British "protectorates" (I us...

My only experience between US and USVI has been with AA. Like everyone says they have a heat embargo - if it goes over 85 F, they will not fly the dog...

simkiss, nothing wrong with taking LIAT. They bounce from island to island, but coming from Europe, I think that would be a plus! I love LIAT, and hav...

You really should visit before you decide to make a move. I have lived in three different Caribbean islands, one of them in the USVI, and they were al...

Did you try the Divi Resort and Casino? Their website is www.carinabay.com. You say you have experience in marketing - the email address listed is for...

Yes, they need a Health Certificate to fly, but nobody checks for it in STX since you don't have to clear customs etc on arrival. The Vet meeting you ...

I changed to a 340# and really regreted it. Immediately I lost my caller ID, and everyone I knew had either Cingular or Sprint cellphones which have n...
