The spouses group did get started in January and we have great participation. We have about 30 members, and usually have about 10 people show up to the various outings. We have beach day once a week, a shopping trip to Roseau once a month, a meeting once a month, and major pre-exam outings 3 times a semester. We have a welcome breakfast at the beginning of the semester to great the incoming spouses/significant others and will have an end of the semester farewell to the departing spouses. There are also people that get together between the outings and do their own things. It's a great outlet to meet as many other spouses as you can and to have a support group to help you get through the slow days!!!

You will do great in your move, just remember to keep busy. Even though I have lived away from home for many years, it was harder this time because of the significant change in lifestyle.

As for the webcam, I don't know anyone that uses it so I can't give you an advise on that. A lot of people use internet telephony because it is much cheaper than both the land line and the cell phone. I use my cell phone for local calls only. They have prepaid phone cards here that you buy for your cell phone, no service plans. Hope this info helps, you can email me with more questions and we look forward to meeting you next semester!
