Introduction
Yes, the Caribbean... visions of azure waters, swaying palm trees, pulsating rhythmns and rum punches. Sweet! Truly a dreamer’s vacation, but can you imagine living here? Some people make those dreams a reality. The Settler’s Handbook is for those who are vacationing here, contemplating moving here, investing here, or for those who have just moved here. It is for those who are lured to the tropics, and specifically to the Virgin Islands which charmed not only Christopher Columbus, but millions of others who have since landed on their shores.
How do you identify those who live here? For one thing, check out those bumper stickers that say, “Not all of us here are on vacation!” What’s it like to live here? What can you expect? Read on.
The Settler’s Handbook, 18th Edition, hopes to enlighten you on island living, whether you are a prospective settler, a vacationer, or a new business person. While each of the three islands, St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, has a unique style, they all share the charms and flavors of the Caribbean and the protection of the Stars and Stripes. In this up-dated 18th edition of The Handbook, we present the latest facts, figures, trends, pros and cons, about visiting, living and working in our islands.
