I'm no marine scientist, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly because of the coral reefs. They protect our major construction projects so that the runoff ...

Alas... the only things cheap in the USVI are vices. 🙂

what do you do out of curiosity? Hiya Matt -- I actually met you in Connections a couple weeks ago. 🙂 Hope you and your girlfriend are happily...

Sold -- through this board! 😎

The travelling nurses I know say they make a lot *less* money than they would in many places on the mainland. Working in a hospital here comes with a...

Part 2 appeared in today's issue: Very interesting.

On the pharmacy -- will mail-order work for you? That's what I do, and it works great (and I never have to worry whether my pharmacy is out of stock ...

Yes, the viable routes at that price point are to get a roommate or live on a boat. Otherwise your cash would all vanish the second your future landl...

Well, at the risk of being cheesy... I am thankful for this online community. I literally would not be here today, typing this from my bedroom in St....

Depends on which island. St. Croix, you're a bit safer on the roads than STT or STJ. I would not own a cruiser on either of the latter; the roads ar...

I hear (via one of the maintenance folks) that the part is on island and being replaced today.

It's been said so many times before, but this time of year, as cold weather descends on much of the mainland and many more people begin dreaming of is...

Wireless aircards work on STJ, but your success in using them depends on line of sight to the tower. There is no 3G here yet, so your data speeds mig...

Assuming you have visited here before with moving in mind, definitely sounds like you are on the right path. If I were in your shoes, I'd plan to lin...

limetime2, I have not experienced people on STT or STX being any friendlier than on STJ -- the opposite, if anything. Why do you say that?

Curfew still in effect until 2 p.m. on STJ.

I understand that the airport is open -- a friend was supposed to have a flight there today, although she cancelled it; we now hear Cape Air is back o...

Hi Mandie, There is no website for long-term rentals, because many people say they will come but then never show up. This is also why rentals re...

Here on STJ (south side), we lost power only briefly and everything is fine. No worse than a bad storm, and better than after the four days of rain w...

Here on STJ, it shook the house for a good 20 seconds, sounded like thunder.

Living minutes from some of the most amazing beaches and coral reefs in the world is the best part, for me. Life moves slowly enough here that I don...

I know nothing about them personally, but I saw this ad in the Love City Trader. Typed exactly as it appears: Campground in Peter's Bay, St.John...
