Hey guys. I've got a little situation here. I've been tentatively offered a job on St. John, in the US Virgin Islands. (I'm flying down on the 17th to meet the people in the company, take a final skills evaluation, and hammer out the details.) I've vacationed there, but never really did much looking into how the locals live. Has anyone spent enough time in the islands to give a viewpoint on the pros and cons of living there?
As far as I can see it, this job is going to pay me more money, for less hours, living in paradise, with great benefits and a similar cost of living, however, bringing the busa down (kind of a must) may present some problems, like the 20-35mph speed limit on the entire island, plus the condition of some roads, and the cost in transporting it to St. Thomas St. Croix or Jost Van Dyke for some better riding conditions. (I remember taking a taxi from Charlotte Amalie to red hook and chanting in my head "Its like the dragon, with palm trees" over and over.)
Ah well, I appreciate you taking the time to read this, but I am starting to get serious about this potential move, so I'm tapping any sources of information I can find. Thanks .org!
