Hi my name is Bill. I booked a vacation in november in sosua. I never been to the Dominican Republic. But i here a lot of great things. I also here do not leave the resorts. I here it is a great place to call it home after you retire.I 'm trying to learn some Spainish. I bought that rosetta stone. I'm a Baltimore city Fire Fighter i have been doing it for 23 years everybody knows we are the murder capital of the US. I hate snow just want a place to call home and not worry about making it after i retire. Could it be as bad as Baltimore Maryland. I say na if i like it i will take my chances in the Dominican Republic. I would love to get some feed back. Bill
