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 »

Pets in the Seychelles

February 25, 2008 at 12:02 pm (Seychelles Island Move) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

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.

Be Positive!

February 24, 2008 at 5:23 pm (Seychelles Island Move) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

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.

Things to be Concerned About

February 24, 2008 at 3:18 pm (Seychelles Island Move) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , )

The three things to really be concerned about moving to the Seychelles… There is a difference between living somewhere and visiting somewhere. The things that are really important have absolutely nothing to do with not having toilet paper or cooking oil. That’s just stupid. It’s simple to overcome, with a little resourcefulness. For me, there are three things to be concerned about when moving somewhere: Read the rest of this entry »

Seychelles Fact Sheets

February 23, 2008 at 1:22 am (Seychelles Island Move) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

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.

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 »

Got Hustle?

February 22, 2008 at 9:58 pm (Seychelles Island Move) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

This post is indirectly about us moving to Seychelles, but not totally about that.

Can you hustle? That’s the name of the game. Looking back 5 years ago, it seems like yesterday that I started my journey to freedom. Having traveled before with the United States Navy, I was no stranger to foreign countries. And having traveled to most of the 50 states by plane, bus, car, and occasionally hitchhiking, I was used to moving around. Read the rest of this entry »
