Seychellesislandsinformation’s Weblog

Our newfound friend inspired this entry. (Very well-written, by the way.)

Even though, we don’t see eye-to-eye, it made me think, “What are my real intentions on moving to the Seychelles?” So, I am donning the BSometer to check myself out. Okay, here we go: Read the rest of this entry »

I just found this on another blog and thought I would post it. Everything she says is how we live our lives and maybe it will be of help to others. Read the rest of this entry »

I haven’t posted lately since my husband has been hogging the blog…

There’s one thing about moving that I haven’t seen too much information about, and that is bringing pets with you to the Seychelles. We have a Shih Tzu named Fifi who is currently under the eye of our caretaker in France, due to the quarantine restrictions in the U.K. She has all her shots, her chip, and her passport, but the U.K. is quite strict on bringing in foreign animals. When we return to France to pick up our boat and tie up all of our loose ends, we will be bringing her with us. The only information that I have seen about pets is that they cannot be brought with you unless they are staying over 6 months. Since visitors can only stay 3 months at a time, I assume this means that only those who have already been cleared for permanent residence or work permits can bring their pets.

I have seen people on vacation with their pets in all of the various places I have lived. Before, I wondered why they would go to the trouble of bringing Fido for only a couple of weeks, but now that I have one of my own, I see that it’s hard to leave them in the care of someone else and more fun to bring them along. Fifi has already been under the care of near-strangers for the last 2 months and I would hate to have to leave her in the same situation until we get our papers worked out.

I’m going to make some phone calls and find out the specifics of this situation and I will post up my findings shortly.

I have been negative in my past posts and for this I apologize. I’m done with that from here on in. I believe that negative energy and bad vibes will end up playing a big part in your daily activities. For example, have you ever been driving and thinking to yourself, “Man, I don’t want to get pulled over,” and sure enough, 5 minutes later a highway patrol pulls in behind you? That’s what I’m talking about. In my life I am always upbeat and positive — not blind to the everyday hazards of life — but I am for the most part a very happy man and I am going to continue on my journey.

Here are some interesting facts we found about the Seychelles Islands, provided by the Sundowners. I thought these were very informative and written very well and to the point. Some of this information is probably outdated, as we have been informed that inflation is rising daily, so we are adding about 30 percent to this as a guide, but I’m sure that’s still not right.

There’s gold in dem dere hills!

Still skimming across the net looking for more information on the Seychelles, we found gold! And not the proverbial kind. Legend has it that there was a pirate who buried his treasure somewhere in the Indian Ocean and it is believed to be located in the Seychelles. This makes the Seychelles a little more exciting, just knowing there there is unfound pirate treasure somwhere on the island…Dawgit!! Read the rest of this entry »
