The Rich and Famous
Saturday - July 19 - 04:15 PM
Remember when air
travel had a certain romance associated with it.
When we looked forward to our trip to the airport
as we started our latest adventure. Now that
seems like such a long time ago in a place far,
far away . . . . .
For several
reasons (the hassle factor alluded to above)
along with our relative isolation (read, very
poor airline service from St. Croix), a lot of
baggage and our concern for the third member of
our family - Wags. Jane and I did something that
was totally foreign to our lifestyle - we decided
to charter a flight from St. Croix to Panama.
Never, in our wildest dreams, had we ever
considered spending such an outrageous sum for a
ride in an airplane. Read more

A Tough Three Months
Sunday - July 13 - 10:41 PM
The decision to
move was relatively easy, then the tough part
started. We had two major factors that would
determine the when
of our move; Jane
wanted to complete the school year (mid June) and
we had a house to sell.
We put our
home on the market in January with everyone
confident of a relatively quick sale. In fact we
were worried about selling too soon and having to
find a rental on St. Croix until the end of June.
After some initial interest things slowed to a
crawl - the mainland’s mortgage problems and
housing meltdown started to impact sales on the
island. Months slipped by and it was looking like
a June move just wasn’t in the cards. When the
occasional looker came by we would get hopeful
then disappointed when nothing happened. Then, in
mid May, we got an offer, countered and had a
deal with a closing on June 25th, just a month
away. Read more
