Hey! There are many Canadians living on Island, owning businesses and prospering. Your best bet is to follow the advice of the immigration and government authorities or a local lawyer who knows the ropes. Rules may have changed over the years and the process is complicated. Everyone you eventually speak with will tell you what a frustrating experience starting a business may become.

Hey! No problems with many WI FI spots; dependable internet means SKYPE is cheap and constant. My AT&T cellular phone worked well last week. Check with your cell phone provider for your rates and availability of service. Remember to mention you are traveling to the NETHERLANDS ANTILLES rather than THE NETHERLANDS. Beware of using phones in your hotel, timeshare etc.as those rates

Hey! It usually drains very quickly from the flash showers and is dry within 24 hours. With the amount of traffic going to Cupecoy construction I'm sure it's open. This won't be the only place for mosquitoes and I've bought 33% DEET to use liberally., From what I read there hasn't been a lot of rain since Omar., Denis
