I am returning to the Caribbean, but will be mostly in Puerto Rico. I will be making frequent trips to the DR though. Can I bring my vehicle with me on the ferry, and stay with it for a few weeks? Any idea what kind of insurance or paperwork I would need?

I need the contact info for the classic car group out of Santo Domingo. I thought they had a facebook page, but I can't find it! I'm planning my return in two years, and want to buy and restore either a 1970's Land Rover Defender, or a Chevy C20 pickup and import it. I just need to know the...

So, I've been trying my best at the local pool hall... I've learned a few things. They play slop. It's doesn't matter how many rails or balls it bounces off of, if it goes in, then it is good. Last pocket. Some times it is called, some times it is last ball in. They use their crooked ass...

Two days ago, it was a Gringo laying in the middle of the road by the Texaco station. He was easy to see, and everyone was swerving around him. Last night, around 1am, I damn near ran over a Dominican guy lying in the middle of the road. Same place. Only, this guy was too drunk to get up. It...
