moving to the virgin islands: Owning a Home in St Thomas, USVI - Landscaping Part I - 05/19/12 07:43 AM
Along with owning a home, comes the landscaping. I had a pretty green thumb at our old home in N. Nevada, problem there was only 9 inches of precipitation a year and winter. I am excited to see how my thumb does here with 45 inches of precipitation a year and warm year round!
As you already may know we bought the home here in 2009. I came down in 2010 to live in the upstairs and do repairs and clean up. While I was here I went to a nursery on the North Side. I bought 3 lime trees and … (3 comments)

moving to the virgin islands: First Two Weeks of Living on St Thomas Fulltime! - 05/11/12 07:11 AM
The day has come, officially we have been here for two weeks! The weather has been a mixed bag with many cloudy and muggy days with no breeze, which has been ok for unpacking.
Our first few days were busy with various errands. The 4Runner which was already down here, started with no problems. Cistern for water is overflowing. Everything in the house is working. Dogs are adjusting to their new backyard. Made our trip to the mailbox at TuTu, Plaza Extra and Cost U Less for groceries.
We even snuck out on Saturday for Carnival and the adult parade! There … (7 comments)

moving to the virgin islands: Moving to St Thomas, Leaving Stateside Edition - 05/08/12 07:12 AM
After spending a nice 4 day break from our drive across country at my father's in Cedar Point, NC where we got the dogs their health certificate and of course our yellow lab got a hot spot from swimming. Good thing we have a vet right down the street there! We spent our days with the "hoodies", the neighbors with some great dinners and conversation.
Tuesday morning we packed up the Tacoma, and off to Miami, Florida, where we are going to catch our flight to St Thomas.
We spent the night in Jacksonville, Florida with … (1 comments)

moving to the virgin islands: Driving Across Country to Move to St Thomas USVI - 04/23/12 12:41 PM
Well everything was packed up, cleaned up, items donated and what we are bringing was packed into the container that arrived! We have a 40 foot sea container that will be shipped to the Virgin Islands with our personal effects and furniture we wanted to bring! It will take about 6 weeks to arrive and ask me about the cost, which was very hard to swallow! Sold the camper at the last minute and the Honda.
After sleeping on mattresses on the floor for five days and eating off of paper plates on a makeshift table, we finally are going … (1 comments)

moving to the virgin islands: Moving to St Thomas! - 02/20/12 12:38 PM
I arrived back to Reno, NV on Feb. 7th, 2012, to the cold weather. My wife Shannon and I had a wonderful time and with the news of limited foreclosure activity in Nevada, this would make a perfect "getaway" time? After losing 3 of our labradors this Summer and with the slowdown in new REO inventory, this decision was easy!
These pictures from our latest visit also made it easy?

moving to the virgin islands: Life in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands - 01/12/12 09:45 PM
Well Toyota 4Runner come, and no, there were no issues with the vehicle. All was the same as I had left it in Reno, NV, except greasy and this random glove on the passenger floor? Viking delivered it to me at the Airport where I have for the last time have given up my Hertz rental car. Wendy was sad and asked I stopped by and say hi whenever I was at the airport. Total cost for having my own car: $5200. Having my own car real value: PRICELESS. I know what I have, know its maintenance and its mine!
