Way to go IslandRat

I too am a Buckeye - a very very jealous Buckeye - but also I am very very happy for you and your family

St. Croix is our favorite USVI also.

What part of the island do you now call home?

Enjoy every tropical second on stx

Steve

Congrats, IslandRat! That's great news!

Do you have a guest room? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratulations! That's really exciting.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Does that mean you are open to helping others??

Jen

Congrats!! I'll be back on island in FIVE DAYS. I am so ready.

Congratulations!! Hopefully we'll get to ST Croix in our lifetime.

So glad for you.

Thanks for all of the Congratulation!!!

That really means a lot to me!! I am so excited that this is happening!

To seansand and Steve B : Where are you from in Ohio?? The place we purchased is in the Sion Farm area. I now tell everyone that I now live on St. Croix, and just vacation in Ohio - LOL

Linda J : Are you back yet????!! How is Ric?

Jennifer : That is a huge "YES", that we are open to helping others!! With all of the help that we received, from friends that we made from this board, I can't wait to be able to extend our friendship and knowledge to others who have the same dream!

Connie : Be Careful! Once you get to St. Croix and meet the people and see the sites you will never want to leave - LOL

Thanks Again,
Island Rat

I am smiling for you - just thinking of what it must be like. Best wishes to you both on the new home and your dreams of living in paradise - coming TRUE beacuse you've made them come true!

Wow, I was beginning to think that no other Buckeyes visited these message boards. Great news about your purchase. We have been visiting the USVI since 1986 but our rental property purchase was in Hilton Head Island in 2001. We actually considered a villa purchase at Mahogany Run but decided on the South Carolina property due to the ease of travel by car within 12 hours of Northeast Ohio. We are currently on Water Island beginning our 5th week. Met some great folks this week from the Toledo area on Water Island. With the horrific winter weather conditions in the Northeast US, more and more Buckeyes should head this way for vacation. I sound like a USVI commercial now, but once you have tried it, you will come back again and again.

We vacation in Cincinnati --

downtown Cincinnati is just like downtown Christiansted -- their both on the waterfront and they both have ------------------------------------------------------------------------------O/K I got nuthin - just trying to ease my envy

get my room ready and have a cold presidente on ice for my surprise visit. i'll bring the skyline. ( if you've never been to Cincy, skyline is our local chili that only people in the greater cincinnati area appreciate )

I hope your move from here to there goes smooth

Maybe i'll see you one day down at Cheeseburgers - or on one of the beaches

Hello Island Rat!

Another Buckeye checking in! We're up north - eastern suburb of Cleveland...snowbelt country!!! UGH!! Counting the days till we arrive on island for Spring Break!! Envy your daily dose of sunshine!! ENJOY!!!

Just a question

What type of work (if any) will you be doing? How did you find your employement? Are there places besides the moving message board that lists job openings?

My husband and I are both in the oil field business - we are open to a career change but dont know where to start looking.

Thanks Jen
