Well, by this time next week we'll be headed to Florida. This is my last day on the job. Ric finished yesterday and is now officially unemployed. Half the furniture has been sold and the other half is going to storage on Wendesday. We have a pile of personal effects in our near-empty bedroom to put into the car. When we leave here next Friday, we'll be HOMELESS. We deliver our cars to Tropical on the 11th and we're on the plane to St. Croix on the 13th.
I'm getting just a little nervous.

Linda-
Just a note, we are moving also and I found out that per US Customs you can only pack 30 cubic feet of items in your car. That is it. I just wanted to let you know before you pack your car too full. IF for some reason you know somthing other than what I found out for shipping our car please let me know. Thanks.

Linda,
I'm living vicariously through you! I used to live on St. Croix and would love to move back. Keep us informed on your life down there! Good luck with the move--

You're right about the 30 cubic feet. We have 30 cubic feet of containers and when they are full we will have to make some tough decisions. We're shipping two cars so technically we get 30 cubic feet for both, but one is a Triumph sports car so it will only get about one cubic foot.
If you are there in time, there's a get together planned for Friday, 8/29 about 6 pm at Cheeseburgers in Paradise for all us new Crusians.

I'm nervous about my move too Linda, but also excited. If you can, let me know how you move goes because you will be there a whole month before me.

Hi to all of you - I am planing to get there, in St. Croix, some time between Aug 15th to 23 rd & stay till end of Aug. My purpose is also to move there but not just now. Now I want to buy something - a piece of land or a house. I will like to hang out with you guys on 29th including my wife Grace. Wheare is this place ?
I have some questions for Paula as you lived there before because I want to find out as much as possible about the Island before I buy something. I want to retire early part of the yr in near future.
To Linda, Kailek, Roxi & Ric
Can any of you help me to find a place to stay for 2/3 weeks - I do not mind sharing a room of a house or apt and also a good price place to rent a car or Zeep for the 2/3 weeks. Thanks.

Hey Moshtak,
You are welcome to stay with me and my friend. But we won't arrive until September 6th and we're planning on looking for a place in St. thomas. I have a time share for a week in Magan's Bay and I plan on using that time to look for a place. There is room in the place for a couple others so if you (or any other readers) are interested in staying for a week (I won't charge too much) let me know.
