Bowling Alley STT? - 4 months ago
Coconut telegraph says a new blowing alley is going in Al Cohens? Where the jewelry store was?? Anyone know about this? Would love that, I forgot that there is SO much to do here LOL!!!! Love the vibe of Havensight now with Tap&Still down there. Seems like a lot going on even when ships aren't in. VERY cool wine/coctail bar next to T&S... forgot the name and has anyone tried the sushi atby AandA2VI - General/Relocating
Re: Psychiatric Registered Nurse Thinking of moving to the USVI - 4 months ago
I think you’ll get really beaten down here and really disappointed in the general lack of giving AF from the government on mental health. A good friend works in metal health and loves what she does but hates the way those in need are treated... or the lack there of. To the severity that people have died unnecessarily because of it. She’s done and working on exit plan. I’ve been in the VI a shortby AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Places where telephone/internet is restored - 4 months ago
QuotexXxRUDExXx Viya's progress is supposed to be updated here: Yea last update was over a month ago. I called to see if they had an estimated month for northside STT: they literally laughed. I went to ATT and way overpaid for the WiFi hotspot thing until Viya gets to us. It is what it is. I can only use it from 9-5 when towers aren’t overloaded but I am really thankful to be able to do somby AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Moving to the islands - 5 months ago
STT has quite a few rentals right now. 1000-1600 for the places we looked at on northside. Looked at about 7. We found a awesome place in a day but we have lots of connections which is how we found our rental. Most are word of mouth. Below us is empty... no dogs allowed. You have to decide what island and where on that island you want to live. They are COMPLETLY different. Bring a good car 4x4 suby AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Electrician employment - 5 months ago
Pretty sure you can just come down and start right away with a company. Work on getting your lic or whatever you need to be independent and you’ll make $$$$$. You pretty much have pick of the litter right now I’m sure - just get here quick.by AandA2VI - General/Relocating
Re: BACK TO STT!!!!!!!! - 5 months ago
Thanks all. We found a perfect place, with not a good view... it’s THE view - Magen’s - out to peterborg and every down island with everything on my wish list - honestly can’t believe it and I was willing to settle for nothing on my list lol. I even got my vaulted ceilings and a HUGE covered deck! Our STX rental wasn’t covered and even with a sun sail it was too hot. I missed limin outside. We’reby AandA2VI - General/Relocating

You have to keep going in. We did three times for my fiancé who also lost his job and finally got a check. Well they mailed it out anyway...by AandA2VI - General/Relocating
Re: Cold weather items - 5 months ago
For STX I’ve only worn sweatpants and socks once. When I lived (and soon again) on northside STT I wear them often in dec and Jan. I’m also a sissy - TX, AZ and VI. I like it hot. 70 is freezing to me. This year it did hit 69 in the rainforest - which was the one time I dawned socks.by AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Frederiksted diving pictures after hurricanes - 5 months ago
Wanted to post the link to photos I took on Halloween night. A few are from snorkling the pier when the ship leaves to dump its poop. Which also annoys me. Things shifted around but overall look pretty good. Better than I was expecting for sure. Still haven’t seen a seahorse though It’s a link on my biz FB:by AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Taxes & no refunds - 5 months ago
After we read the article we went to check on ours. We’ve never gotten a return since we’ve moved here. 2013 we filed states since we’re here after Jan. 2014 was mailed to the old PO even though we did a change of addressto new PO so that should be hopefully reissued... she said check in a month, if we call and stay on top of it. 2015 is in que to be paid (when?) and 16 is accepted... it’s a goodby AandA2VI - General/Relocating
Re: BACK TO STT!!!!!!!! - 6 months ago
Tanks mike! I’ll keep at it for sure and will pop back over for our pier dive fixes. Snorkeld the pier today. Not great but still color. Looked hard for frog fish and seahorse but didn’t find any. A year and it’ll be back to its glory. For a macro gal like me the pier is the best dive in the VI. I’ll miss it for sure. Looking forward to this next chapter and will see what it holds for us.

Re: AT&T update from Vic - 6 months ago
When I call ATT we have 2 “heavily degraded” towers of the 13 for STX. We still get zero service other than on Fsted beach - cell - data spotty and by the fallen mahogany tree on mahogany road. Past that - nata.by AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Have to change my name - 6 months ago
I’m doing the reverse.... we’re you renting? North side? Available? Maybe we can do a rental swap! Our place is a little damaged but landlord is fixing it. GREAT location, nice place, breezes and cool. Unless you’re buying here or want to live east. How are you bring over furniture and stuff? I’ll PM you my cell. We should brainstorm and swap info lol.

Tree Shock - rebound.... TREEMAN? - 7 months ago
Not to negate the human suffering at all whatsoever but one thing that really surprised me through all of this I was the tree shock from... the salt I guess? I've looked online all over and can't find information on this phenomenon. West STX the trees with leaves (other than sea grapes and palms) are rust red, and falling off. I wonder, what the recovery time is for trees with no leaves bby AandA2VI - General/Relocating

Re: Pushing Back Move Date - 7 months ago
Huh??? The airport isn't even open yet. Y'all boating over? Agree with wait a year. Trying to navigate unfimaliar territory and set up right now is just not feasible / in the middle of a crisis and it won't end well IMO. Unless you're a trauma nurse or a electrical linemen/contractor I would advise against moving here right now. Plan B? STX is relatively untouched by Irma but a totallby AandA2VI - General/Relocating
