Been to St. Thomas USVI?

hi 4notmore:
I lost that contract, they gave it to someone already licensed in the VI. Needless to say, I'm going to obtain my license now, Mailing it tomorrow, even if I never use it.
I've been trying to land my 1st contract for months, never traveled professionally before, but the good news is I'm signing my 1st today, going to NC on 11/30. Sorta wish I had a hubby to go with me, but I'm flying solo on this new venture. Thanks for the wish of best luck. Any tips for me?
