I gotta be honest: I think it would be cruel to take teenagers from their established lives and move them anywhere, ESPECIALLY here. The islands are...

A scooter is a good way to get yourself killed. Too many blind curves, vegetation growing over the edge of the road, fast drivers, drunk drivers, sudd...

Winter clothes are good for plane rides, too, even if you're just going to Florida. On my last flight back here from Phoenix, in August, I brought my ...

Despite having lived away from the south, where I grew up, for the past 7 years, I'm still learning about things that are southern. All this time, I t...

I get weird/freaked out when someone orders a Bacardi on STX.....oh the tragedy..... Yes! It's like ordering a Big Mac at Burger King.

Edward: Read the small print carefully. Most med evac policies read that they will take you to the nearest facility. That is almost always Puerto Rico...

411: Okay, what the heck is "Klass Horchta" mix????:S And how have I lived without it?? I'm guessing horchata... Mexican cinnamon milk stuff. I c...

Blue - I'm in my 30's but no kids - I don't think it's boring at all. But instead of going to Events, concerts, theatre, etc as we did (and spent a lo...

Not to single Carambola out, --I've never seen rip/surf warnings anywhere else on the island. I noticed at the entrance to Judith's Fancy two day...

My deposits (checks) are always available on the same day at Banco Popular. I take them in person (hoping to stop that hassle soon, when my direct dep...

It's probably faster to bring cash to open an account. Banco Popular wanted $500 from me. Not sure about the others. I transfer funds all the time, bu...

Ugh, no thanks. I didn't realize it would happen in the other direction as well... not only does no one recognize you, you don't have a clue who's cal...

Congratulations on the job! You might have to go with a long-term hotel if you don't have the first month's rent and deposit (and often the last month...

Oh, THAT's what that is! I saw that last time I had an early flight and couldn't quite figure out it. That's dedication!!

If I lived closer and had a more regular schedule, I'd take you up on that, but unfortunately I don't think it would work. 🙁 However, for the d...

Seems like you could find a lot of gray area in "reasonable and moderate." Whose definition of those terms are we using, anyway? My definition of "rea...

reaader30, where in AZ are you from? We just moved here (STX) from Phoenix a couple of months ago, and I still go back occasionally to work in NE AZ.

Just wanted to add my two cents for Juanita's place. In my opinion, it's a great starting point for those who have just moved to STX. I moved here a l...

EE: Not cynical. Realistic. They're about as involved in the birthing plan as they were in the birth control plan. Exceptions exist, of course.

Most American women, although there are exceptions, want to give birth in a hospital with a board certified Ob/Gyn physician, and bring on the drugs!!...

I remember kids being "paddled" when I was in public elementary school in Georgia for 3 years (before moving to another state). My parents told the sc...

Well, at the risk of diminishing the humor, but in the interest of full disclosure, I have to add that I just looked up that quotation (after posting ...
