Settling Down You just landed in Paradise. The sun is shining, the waves are calling and ono grinds are beckoning for you to put them in your mouth. You don't even want to unpack before you go exploring, let alone go through the hassle of making appointments for utility companies to hook you up.

But let's be realistic - ties, galoshes and winter coats are no longer a necessity, but gas, electricity, water and cable are just as essential in the Islands as they are on the Mainland. And don't forget the telephone. You'll need it to call your friends back home to pass on the information that it's in the balmy mid-70 degrees outside and that you have gotten rid of your ties forever.

So get hooked up ASAP. The sun, waves and grinds will still be there tomorrow.
