Nice! Where do you live now? An american guy that has been living on St Thomas for decades told me that the majority of the locals that were born on St Thomas have actually left to mainland U.S for better opportunities. So he said that many of the workers are actually from other caribbean countries, do you know if that is true?

Thought if is there is a matter of time to get here, had my mother living all alone in our big home here in Rio. Have to go and be with her. She is 91 and even with hired help having her son near by will make us both feel better. Now still here, and been going to Sarasota where my good friend lives and the base of our future business. He has one 38ft sailboat moored at his home, and I will buy my own at least 42ft. Will be also home while I look for a place at The US V Islands where what we been planning comes real. Hope we make it

When I had visited I stayed over on Lingbergh Bay which is on the other side of the airport opposite of Brewer's Bay. I really enjoyed it there, I thought the beach was of one the better ones in St. Thomas. But I was underwhelmed when I visited Magens Bay. St. John was definitely the highlight of my trip! Hope you two enjoyed it!

@@fosterapp so you don't want us in the USVI to enjoy modern amenities as you have in the states or you would rather seeing us here in St thomss to be living in grass huts and riding donkeys. Everywhere people are looking for a better standard of living and the USVI is no different. That's why so many people from the other Caribbean migrate to st thomas for a better standard of living as you see what's happening at the US southern border.
