Hi,
we arrived on Sunday busy sorting things out at the moment but starting to thing about meeting people! Anybody know any good social groups or events to help us get to know people?

Also does anyone know a good vet in or near the red Bay Area?

thanks for any help

Hello there, I was just reading your post and interested to see how you have settled in? I'm considering moving out in February so just gathering as much information as possible, thanks Rachel

Hi,
yes it’s all good! We found a place before we arrived which has worked out well, we are on the bus routes so getting by without a car with the help of some friends! We have been enjoying beach life on the weekends, lots of places to snorkel and eat and drink and popped to Cuba for a few days over half term! We haven’t mastered shopping for clothes etc yet, will need to look into that soon but would recommend bringing what you can with you including snorkelling gear! Let me know if you have any questions

Hi sounds as if you have managed to get settled in quite quickly. Im trying to budget for monthly costs. I've used the website recommended to work out costings for accommodation/driving/food etc. Any other advice? Thanks Rachel

Thanks for that helpful advice!!!

The information on the website cayman resident is quite accurate, our electricity bill has been higher than they quoted, not sure why but cable and internet were included in the price of the flat so we saved there. We probably spend less on groceries and more on eating and drinking out then they quote but that’s just us! We also only pay $40 for data on 2 mobiles each month which is less than the website quotes but we just unlocked our phones and buy a monthly data package. Also my work pays for my pension and medical insurance so save there too!
What work will you be doing? Are you coming in your own?

thanks I will check it out! I have friends going home at Christmas so planning to get some stuff delivered there for them to bring out but not sure the winter collections they have in the uk at the moment will be ideal! Plus I’ve heard ASOS deliver

Hi, yes I'd be coming out on my own. I'd be working in nursing. It's difficult to budget but your replies have been really helpful. Did you just bring clothing and some personal belongings? It sounds as if most apartments come furnished? Thanks R

I bought clothes and toiletries and cleaning supplies wish I had brought more vests and shorts as they are what I generally wear when I’m not at work!
