DID YOU KNOW... In addition to it's long and rich
multicultural history, friendly people, open spaces, the
blue sea and near perfect year-round weather, there are
a number of reasons to consider relocating to St Thomas.
Most importantly, the U.S. Virgin Islands, which
includes St Croix, operate under U.S. law 
which
is important in both business and personal matters. This
means mainland US companies do business here including
retail stores such as K-Mart, Radio Shack, and Western
Auto, plus McDonald's, Wendy's and Pizza Hut. Also U.S.
financial services such as Merrill Lynch and a variety
of U.S. mortgage, insurance and banking companies offer
local service.
U.S. cellular phone companies including AT&T, Sprint, and Cingular all operate here. For your off-island personal and commercial convenience, the US Post office operates here and both land line and cellular phone calls are treated as domestic calls, not overseas calls. Property taxes are favorable; there is no sales tax and, also, for residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands, there is no estate or inheritance tax. With all these advantages, why on earth would you want to live anywhere else?

DID
YOU KNOW THAT... Many couples are opting to save the
money (not to mention the stress and hard work) of a big
wedding at home by escaping to a Caribbean island for a
combination wedding/honeymoon. Upon their return, they can
share the event by showing the video and photographs at an
informal reception.
All the islands are beautiful and, on some, weddings have
become a major promotional tool. So why should you choose
St. Thomas above others?
