Myra Keating isn't open but they are placing modular units there so hopefully that will open sometime soon. When my youngest son was born at Schn...

There is little surfing on STJ. Reef Bay sometimes. Fishing all over the place. You can fish on St. John from the shore in spots that are not marke...

I agree with what everyone has said so far. Housing on St. John is a big struggle right now. We lost a lot of affordable housing in the storms and n...

I do not, and have not, missed snow for a single second. The last winter I spent in Michigan was brutal. The seasonal depression was completely unbe...

I'm with Exit Zero. You may want to just send resumes out to the villa rental agencies and see what happens. Working with someone who is already est...

I'm not sure if there is anything like this happening on St. John, but Love City Strong got a grant to do testing on cistern water on St. John. They ...

You have a point!

As much as I like to buy local, sometimes it's just stupid to do so. I recently ordered Eighty dust masks online for $116 with shipping. They sell O...

Does that really apply to our hotel tax? Just curious since the VIBIR is a sperate entity from the IRS and our taxes are also gross taxes. You don't...

My all in price was $2,300 for shipping, customs, road tax, registration, and paying the logistics company. That was for a Subaru Impreza with a purc...

I have bought cars and had them shipped immediately but in my case I never registered them in the states. I purchased, had the title signed and notar...

Being handy and having some MacGyver'ing skills makes life a bit easier here for sure! Great point! Things break, getting someone to fix them can be...

Rashad's Trucking. (340) 514-9209 I highly recommend him. Great guy and he has fair rates. He has a rig, a flatbed, and a dump truck so he should ...

Yeah, there is still a lot of garbage and debris around. I wish they would have extended the roadside pickup of it until the job was done. Plenty of...

We have worked with a few people who had these through the storms and they did well in protecting the windows but need replacing now. Same goes for t...

Propane use was supposed to cut the fuel cost by 30%. And the claim Mapp made was for the "WAPA bill" to be cut in half within 18 months, not just th...

When the promise for 1/2 cost WAPA bills was made I said "no way". But now I get it. We have to get them up to double in the next year so we can dro...

My first plan was to have a staycation! But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I would have a tough time with it because of work ...

I'd say your biggest challenge during that time will be a place to stay. We lost so many rentals in Irma and they are coming back online slowly. The...

You are right, we would do the same. I just felt so bad for STX and PR. On St. John we were totally cut off and the only we help we had was from STX...

Good to know. Thanks so much everyone for your input on this. Looking forward to seeing STX with my own eyes. I have a lot of people over there to ...

Online shopping has gotten trickier no doubt. I used to order from CVS like crazy until they started charging for shipping. Then they started slow b...

Lenny! That was the year I moved to STJ and Lenny was my birthday present. At least I was holed up with an executive chef. A lot of boat damage for...

Hee Hee! That's what I was just thinking reading through all of these great responses. Definitely sounds like there is enough to keep the boys occup...

Dickies, as in the clothes? Walmart will ship them (slow boat). I went on JCP yesterday to check it out and they had a great sale going on, 60% ...
