Hi,

Researching moving from Detroit, MI to St. Thomas, any tips on finding previous and/other Motowners/MotorCitians before my arrival?

Would like to do a 2 to 3-week pre-move vacation sometime in Feb/March. Would like to stay near corporate businesses (law firms, doctor’s offices, government offices) and shopping. Any suggestions?

When I relocate, thinking of shipping my 2000 Sebring convertible just to get me from A to B when I arrive. It still runs pretty good, but worried about parts and finding someone to do repairs when needed. Would this be viable for the road/weather conditions and cost effective, or should I just sell it and look for an “island” vehicle versus renting a car. What is a typical island car anyway?

Hope to complete my move by July 4th, plan to bring only my suitcase, dog and car. Right now my mind is boggling with things to do to prepare…Other than employment and housing, any tips for a 6-month step-by-step plan or anything you believe should be top priority on my list of things to do?

A few years ago, I woke up one morning, packed my bags and moved to Atlanta. It was a little rough in the beginning, but it worked out-end of staying for 3-years. However, I know this St. Thomas move will be a little more intense, so I need all the help I can get!

P.S. I pretty much got the car situation handled...
