Message:
: : : : I am a web designer and can work remotely and am thinking about moving
: the
: : : : family to the Bahamas. that's about as detailed as my plan is right now.
: : Can
: : : : anyone tell me where to get information on schools, nice places to buy a
: : : house
: : : : or build and raise a family?
: : : :
: : : : How realistic is it that the government will let me live there? I am a
: US
: : : citizen.
: : : :
: : : : Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

: : I was considering the same thing. My first choice are the Cayman Islands
: but
: : I had business ties to the Bahamas and since I hadn't been since the 1980's
: I
: : thought maybe it had developed. Here are the facts.
: :
: : 1. Their best private school (St. Andrews) looked worse than our public
: : schools. (not that the system is bad... just a very old school)
: : 2. If you want to live in a nice neighborhood you better have a lot of extra
: : money (if you want to be able to stay as long as you like you need to buy a
: : $500,000 home (cash, I think).
: : 3. Crime is off the charts! You will not read about it in the papers
: because
: : they keep it hush-hush. On my last business trip I stayed in a hotel on the
: : very S. side of downtown Nassua. What I thought were occassional
: firecrackers
: : were gunshots. So forget anywhere near downtown.
: : 4. However, most everyone are are very nice and friendly.
: :
: : In the end, I decided that until my son is out of school we needed to stay
: in
: : the U.S.
:
:
: Oh, and of course there are less populated islands that may be more suited to
: your style. I was looking at Nassua (New Providence Island) because of
: business reasons.
Is Eluthera suited for children? We are going next week to check it out, any
info. would be appreciated. Thanks!
