I've been doing a lot of pondering lately, as is my nature in general, about the last year of my 4th decade. I'll be 49 this week ... HOLY COW!
F O R T Y N I N E!!!
It seems every time I have my last birthday of the decade, I start to get a little panicked. The realization that I'll never have another 40-anything birthday ever again is a little daunting. Another end of a decade is coming to a close ... HOLY COW again!!!! I'm excited about the BIG 50, I can hardly wait, but 49 is FREAKIN' ME OUT!
Deep breaths ... ok ... I'm better now. Never mind!

Well, I'm not 100% sure about the exchange rate, but I think 49 here on the continent is something like 32 on the U.S. Virgin Islands. Plus, you know, time REALLY slows down in the Carribean. So, I'm thinking if you stay there much longer, eventually you won't even be old enough to drive.
Here's a bit of a coincidence: Ages ago, I sent my resume to the newspaper in St. Croix begging for a job and an excuse to get out of Chicago. Unfortunately, I never heard back from them, so could you do me a favor and see if they got it or something? hahaha...

Thanks for the valuable info, that's quite possibly the best news I've had all week! I'm feeling younger by the minute.
Everything is really S L O W here in the Caribbean, in fact, your resume is probably still in transit from Chicago. How long ago did you send it? More than a year ago? The mail is very slow here, I think it takes a tour of Puerto Rico before arriving on St. Croix. Was it the St. Croix Avis newspaper, or the Pulitzer prize winning VI Daily News? You should try again ... don't give up ... things just take more effort here.
