Don't take this the wrong way, donkey, but -- Gather your expense estimates and then double them, as you may well find you have to ship it all back, w...

Blue Book is less relevant here simply because supply and demand are both restricted by factors that KBB isn't considering. With that said: I wo...

Be prepared to do a lot more transactions in cash than you may be used to doing stateside. If you do not have a local account, you will have to pay a...

Beach Bar and Gecko Gazebo are two of many places where you'll run into a lot of locals. Everyone will be new to you, but keep in mind that St. John ...

You can get a waitstaff job pretty easily within a week or two. That time of year, it should be easy to find a couple of roommates living the same li...

St. John is essentially a small town. September is a pretty good time to get a feel for how small, when many of the restaurants and other businesses ...

(1) Sell the car and buy on island. A Jetta is not the most practical car for STJ anyway; 4WD and ground clearance are the name of the game here. ...

I'm not sure what the prices are these days, but depending on how determined you are to get your pilot's license, it's easier -- and possibly, on bala...

I got a PO Box in Cruz Bay more than a year ago by filling out the form online at the USPS website. The guys in the PO weren't too pleased that I did...

Also, again, work on your language skills. You will then be able to see that I am not the original poster. Geez, you can't even keep track of whom y...

OK, you just threatened me. This goes to the moderator.

I had several taxi drivers try to run me off the road, into a guardrail etc. when I first started riding a few years ago. I used to carry a rock, th...

A real hallmark moment - since the STT airport was closed after the storm but Tortola was open ferries were running people over to Tortola. I gave a ...

1aauto.com will also ship parts here, even to a PO Box. They don't have everything, but they had what I needed last time!

I don't know about the driver's license, but the passport and SS are both federal, so it's no different here than anywhere else in the U.S. Haven't d...

DUN, what idiotic behavior. Throwing rocks in traffic, really??? People doing dumb stuff like that is what makes nonriders hate bikers. Thanks for ...

Ah, good-looking tomatoes we have... but how did they taste? *-)

That's good -- still, not a good idea to run out of that stuff suddenly, though. Your stateside doc can call in a scrip to a pharmacy here if you hav...

Yes, it's possible to raise veggies here -- some do better than others. I haven't had a locally grown tomato that tastes like a tomato, though. (Mos...

All very different things! Crucians are St. Croix natives (vs. St. Thomians and St. Johnians). West Indians are generally African slave descendants ...

beachy, great post -- esp. good to know about commercial flights being up and running fairly quickly after Hugo. I'm thinking of travelling for coupl...

Lisa, be careful if your prescriptions are anything that you rely on -- have a backup plan for the day that your parcel vanishes into a black hole som...

Good afternoon Justin, You're going to have a tough time lining up a place on STJ from off island with a dog that size. If you can't come down f...

.... and affordable prepared foods for your hurricane kit! 😎

Good thinking -- I have a dehydrator already, hadn't thought about a vacuum sealer. Not sure if my WAPA costs will go through the roof while I'm doin...
