i also am looking at going to St. Croix. Can anyone tell me some info. Did you bring your pet, family. I am hoping to rent a house with another nurse who will be traveling with me. I really need some info. I will be bringing my 14 year old son with me and hopefully my small breed dog. I see where customs does allow pets to enter the islands with current health records. So that makes me feel better. But finding housing that allows it is gonna be a problem.

St Croix is a very pet friendly island. My daughter lives there and most places allow pets. People take their dogs everywhere with them. Most of the restaurants are outdoors and have their own local pets there. You'll be suprised how friendly they are toward pets, it seems like everyone is has a pet.

I am on St Thomas and it isn't as pet friendly here, I wasn't able to bring mine with me, I had to leave her at home. Sharing a house with another nurse is a good idea if it works for you, you can save a lot of money. As far as bringing your 14 yr old with you I would suggest private or home school, public school is kind of rough. The teachers are staging sick outs right now due to conditions and pay, I would really check it out. I don't want to scare you but I'd just check everything out before making the trip. Good luck!!!!! :nuke:

I'm in St Thomas and have been here since Jan. of this year, my contract ends on Nov. 29th. After I leave here I won't be returning to this hospital again. I have seen professionalism, patient care and staff satisfaction spiraling down hill daily. I have stayed here this long because my daughter and family live here. Most travelers who leave here feel the same way. They are extremely short staffed so you definitely earn your money.

Everything in the islands is run by the local govt. so I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. I hope I have helped you, feel free to ask any other questions you may have. :typing
