Good luck!

Good luck with the move! People on this board have helped me so much, with everything from mailboxes to haircuts, so you might become a more active po...

I love the poetry of this thread also. I knew the sugar apple by the names of cherimoya or atamoya in Hawaii. Those aren't Hawaiian words, but th...

I also recommend getting your water tested at Ocean Systems in Gallows Bay. Stop by there (next to a tee-shirt store, I think, and near Computer Solut...

I really haven't noticed the teeth-sucking and eye-rolling... maybe I am oblivious. One of my reasons for choosing St. Croix as a place to raise my ki...

Thanks so much, cruzcandy! I finally found the dates on gotostcroix.com and you were exactly right. Thank you so much! I really want to be here for th...

Are there ever community forums about violence or other matters on St. Croix? In New York City there were frequent meetings of local government that a...

Has anyone heard of the ceasefire program in Chicago? It has been getting a lot of good press, as a program to stop the cycle of violence. The program...

There are lots of apartments renting for around $700 in STX right now. They are called efficiencies. Call some of the realtors (Pam McFadden or Sharon...

Thanks CBSR. We are actually on STX. I guess I should have said that! I am going to check the flea market anyway. Thanks for the tip.

Definitely bring it. It seems like everyone buys drinking water. We have a Brita on our sink, but don't trust it yet. I am getting the results of my w...

I got my license this morning, and it went really quickly (after I finally found the DMV). I had to fill out the form and take it to the cashier (they...

Yeah, Richmond does have boxes available. They don't have the smallest size at the moment, so you might have to get the second size. It seems like a g...

We were in the condos in that area for two months. My husband and I really didn't like it. While we were there, there was a shooting at the Mill Harbo...

Everyone says east-facing houses and balconies have the best breezes. The wind does consistently come from the east everywhere I have been (we have lo...

I think the freight companies charge by volume, rather than by weight (at least for the boat portion of the trip). So if you have heavy things like ki...

Good luck planning the move! We arrived from NYC a little over a month ago. I thought NY prices would prepare me for anything, but "processed" food is...

In Hawaii they call it haole rot. Haole meaning white person. How contagious is it?

Thursday night we went to get gas and the Avis at Pueblo Golden Rock. Gas was $3.45, but it was going up all over, so we figured we had to suck it up....

Moving to this island from New York City, we are still BLOWN AWAY by the high prices. In NY we paid $100 for cable and internet. Here we will pay $100...

Wow, I have had the best experience with the postal system here. When I went to Kingshill there were four counters open! In New York City they normall...
