I'm still a newbie in forum. After reading many of the threads I find that this is like a different world to me, almost like another community. When I visit DR, I go back to my humble San Cristobal and I am only able to visit the resorts for a short period of time.
Most of the time when the Animation crew realizes that I'm not Puerto Rican after all and I just came from another part of the Island (entonces soy Criolla) they seem to move on to the next tanner. So I've never made friends at the resorts like others have.
I also never met people who are professionals there who came from another country. I love that the site is in English and there is so much great advise out there. So this whole thing is new to me.
Some friends and I are planning a trip to a resort and I told them I have stumbled upon a site with all these great people that I would love to meet. After the big gasp b/c they are scared of meeting people off the internet, and frankly, so am I - but I will get over it.... They all agreed that it would fun.
So the question is, once we decide where to go (most likely Puerto Plata) can we meet some of you guys? Can we arrange some sort of get together or be invited to one?
We are all Dominican, only one other girl and I visit often, the others havent gone back 'home' since they came to the States more than 10 years ago. I think it will be cool to show them that there is more to the Island than what they left behind and that there are people who are making it and are living well there. That way they wont think I'm completely crazy when I keep saying I'll be moving back one day.
Any thoughts?
