Exit Zero, I think I took a play from your book. But I came with one duffle bag, a round trip ticket, and $300 in cash, 16 years ago. I wouldn't rec...

I'll throw in my 2¢.... bring very little. I literally came down here with a big duffle bag full of stuff and that is it. Really special things wi...

I also find myself wondering if a few of the posters on here whom I assume live in the USVI are realists or very negative? With that being said why do...

I'd bring seeds from home, or order from a good site. I've had very hit or miss success even getting things to germinate/sprout because of bad seeds....

😀 The person noted above is a regular town wander, so I asked an officer to have a little chat with him about where there might be a more appropriat...

I've seen it a handful of times on St. John in my 16 years. Most notably was the time the homeless/mentally ill/drug addict was pleasuring himself at...

If an asteroid hits near PR, I don't think we will have to worry about zombies. There would be none of us left to do any worrying.

On St. John, Sprint service is pretty good on the Cruz Bay side of the island, not as good on the North Shore and East End of the island. I have Choi...

All really good comments already. Another thing I have notice (as is in my own home) is that a lot of the people who live here don't use AC, so they ...

Oh crap. My son just got a betta fish here in the states, I totally neglected to think about how we are going to get him home. :S We are certainly n...

I realize I am digressing fromt he original post, but I'd like to share some flip side experiences to all of this. I've been on the mainland for the ...

Do you have someplace to stay once you get to STJ? Having a dog makes it a bit harder to find a place to live. And you will likely need enough for f...

As far as the full size Escalade, parking would probably be the biggest set back. Parking is limited, and tight in most places. Something smaller, w...

Every island is going to be different, but I will give you some St. John perspective.... of the people I know, there are very few that moved here with...
