I wish I could bring my car with me, however it is a Jag and I don't think it would do very well on the island. I planned on using the money from th...

Thanks Marty! Good to know it isn't a hassle! 🙂

I'm coming down in Jan. I signed and shared. This is the one thing I'm really nervous about. I won't be able to afford $1000 WAPA bills. I've alre...

Thanks so much everyone! I love hearing everyone's experiences and I also appreciate all the advice! @fdr- those are words I haven't tried. Thanks!...

Ditto. Even in deep south Alabama we call that bath water temperature. See ya'll in the ocean!!! 😀

@ms411- I have an EVO also. So does Sprint work down there pretty well? I called Sprint to ask (i'm moving to STX) and they said they don't have cove...

Hi Cory! I know exactly how you feel. I am moving to STX the beginning of next year. I have 2 degrees and I am waiting tables because there aren't a...

I'm doing it in Jan to STX. I know exactly how you feel. 🙂 Tennessee isn't kind about allergies either.

Thank ya'll so much for the advice. I'm sure I will have to do it all in person but I will certainly start my research now!! 🙂

Definitely keep all of us mainlanders updated!! I can't wait to hear about your adventures!! 🙂 And yes- Jan can't come soon enough!!

Hiya- Thanks! I find it pretty easy to make friends. So, hopefully that will be a non issue. I'm pretty lucky right now- I live in downtown Nashville...
