Direx to Vie's -- Go east on Centerline Road, a mile or two past the turnoff to Coral Bay, until you go down a hill and get to a tamarind tree in the ...

Hi Chad, Which island are you moving to? There will be a lot of people looking for the exact same things you're looking for, at about the sa...

Miss Vie's on the East End has some camping that's like what you describe, but it's not free -- she charges a small fee.

Salt air and road conditions around here shorten the useful life of every vehicle. Also, I don't know what make of vehicle it is, but if it's not a c...

Outages: sometimes every day. Sometimes not. Sometimes there will be power somewhere else on the island when yours goes out. Sometimes not. On the...

back to the original question of "are scooters for sale on STX" -- yes.

Betty is spot-on with her advice about scooters: "If you don't have a decent amount of experience riding stateside, don't do it here." Amen. A s...

For reliability, your best bet is satellite, which you can get almost anywhere you live on the island. Contact Sloop Jones (sloopjones.com), who rece...

Pia, the CVS.com site wouldn't let me continue with my order when I put in St. John -- my zip is 00831. I wonder if that's the difference? Occas...

Congratulations, Lauren -- safe journey! Let us know how you like it when you settle in. 🙂

St John is the preferred "city" entry -- sometimes you're not allowed to put that in. If that's the case, try various forms (I never thought of "Sain...

no problem seeing it, but this week it seems to be the "Crucian Trader" that thelink brings up -- not STT/STJ version.

I just received a package from CVS.com this week -- yes, I had to put in Cruz Bay into the City field; they would not accept St John. Drove me crazy ...

That's correct; it's called something like "New2U" -- out in Coral Bay. Mostly clothing.

The best time to find available rentals here is between June and September. The best time to find a job depends on what you're looking for. For ...

Marty, doesn't the Trader come out on Thursdays? BTW, I already bought a set of wheels that I love (two, not four). Good luck, Braydon!

Thanks for all the feedback! So from the man at the rental agency I talked to this morning, I learned that it's "five years old" measured through the...

I'm in the same boat as Braydon -- on STJ for about a week, and a Sidekick or Vitara in the $2K range would bring me great joy. If you have a Japanes...

Ronnie, I will definitely check it out when I arrive next month. Thanks for the tip!

Trade, thanks -- in fact, my debit card works as an ATM card. But since my bank isn't local, and I don't want to open a local account for just 3.5 mo...

which island?

I'm not on island at the moment, but my understanding of coverage on St. John is that Sprint and AT&T/Cingular both have voice coverage on the east en...

Nope -- no motorcycle endorsement needed for scooters, although you will definitely want some riding experience before you hop on one to tackle STT. ...
