Hi everyone, it has been a long time! I am travelling to Punta Cana in March with my 18 year old daughter (last mom-daughter trip before University), and since I haven't been back to the DR for so many years, and even longer since I lived there, I need a few general questions answered, if...

Here is an article that I am very proud to share with you all. This is the township that I reside in, and we have generously donated our old fire truck to the fire department in Sosua. Between the two towns that make up our township, we have an approximate population of 550 people and we are...

This just in - The Dominican sankie has been now added to the "Dominican Endangered Species List". This event was a direct result of the now almost dead "Sankie 101" forum on a very popular DR website named DR1. Some rumour-mongerers have been heard uttering that all the sankies have left...

Okay, we know how Rocky,Ted, Alan, Sue, Kurt, Sandy, Tom, Tanya et al all celebrate New Years Eve.... and what a hard act that is to follow!:cheeky: I am interested in what other ways folks here at DR1 celebrate it? Any unique ideas to share? I will start... Our neighbours are having a...

Just sitting here thinking back on some recent posts and a thought occured to me.... would it make more sense to have a new system of status in place? I know we all get excited when we hit a new level -silver, gold, whatever it may be! LOL But.... What if everyone who posts must answer a...

I have noticed there are two threads now running with pictures of the DR, and although it is wonderful to see the DR through other people's eyes, isn't that what the media gallery is all about? I have had problems getting the pics to load properly (or at all) and I have high-speed DSL. In the...

I wonder how many people will have to cancel their trip to the DR because of this situation. I sure do hope that people have realized the possibility of a backlog in the passport offices , and not counting on them in the next couple of months! Travellers face 2-month wait for passports : Top...

the travel guide idea? After reading a few trip reports lately, people have been commenting on using the Lonely Planet guide, and how outdated/inaccurate the information is in it. I have also noticed lately a lot of new DR1'rs are now travelling extensively throughout the island and covering...

why your Dominican boyfriends give you the answers that they give you?:devious: Here are some examples of their answers and what that answer actually means a majority of the time: 1) I do not want to move from my country to your country - I love it here! (or some variation of this) This...

Just wanted to wish all you moms out there a wonderful day on Sunday. Hope you all get spoiled and have a very relaxing day! I can't quite remember, but do they celebrate Mother's Day in the DR, and if so, do they have it the same day or another time? Marlie

We have had one girl asking about a Julio from Secrets and two days later someone asking for a Junior from Secrets - same guy??? Also, the second person lied about her location, same person??? Anna has enough on her plate without people deliberately trying to mess up this forum. To all of you...

Subject: War President George Bush was in the Oval Office wondering which country to invade next, when his telephone rang. "Hallo, President Bush" a heavily accented voice said. This is Archie, up 'ere at the Harp Seal Pub in Badger's Cove, Newfoundland, Canada eh? I am callin' to tells ya...

GROW UP !!!! How come it is acceptable for Anna to belong to 5 other DR related message boards but it is not acceptable for others to join and occasionally contribute to one other message board? I consider DR1 a wealth of information. Lets leave it at that. Let us not scare away people by...

To those of you in the DR - have a great Semana Santa. Stay safe, stay drunk (or sober if you want to deal with all the craziness !!!) and enjoy the holiday. I hope the Easter bunny is good to you all and leaves you lots of goodies (and not the eggs with the poopoo on them like was alluded to...

Snowgirl, zx7jimbo, kunky - where did you all go to? We haven't heard from you in a while, and inquiring minds want to know? Snowgirl - did you make it to POP from Punta Cana - if so, how? It might help others in their planning. zx7jimbo - did you find an apartment in Sosua with your friend...

This is going out to all the Canadians out there that have been through the visa process of getting their spouse into Canada from the DR. I am going through a nightmare just trying to get my American common-law spouses' immigration papers processed. We have now been told that it will take...

First of all, Danny W do not take this the wrong way, please. Can I ask why though, when Danny W started the post about moving his girlfriend and her children from SD to Sosua, no one jumped all over him. If someone (eg: Fiesta Mama) mentions that they are moving to the DR to set up with...

I am very curious how the gasoline shortage will affect tourism related items such as car rentals, scooter rentals or hiring of taxis for excursions. Are the car rental agencies not honouring contracts in place because there is not enough readily available gas, or do they have an in with the...
