A waste of bandwidth....

Heading back down soon and wondering if some of the old crowd are still around. Is Kiwi John still running La Roca. Henk still manager of Voramar. Jenny who handles a lot of the rentals at Tradewinds etc. Richard who was married to Mags and was at Century21. George at Condos Dominicano. Kiwicanuck

I took a photo from the top of the residential area above Charamicos that is posted in the Media gallery that I have a link to below. It's looking North East and I circled the Condo complex in it. Could someone please tell me the name of it and some background information on it. Looks like a...

Haiti's national elections, planned for Jan. 8 and plagued by disorganization and delays, will be postponed for a fourth time, electoral officials said Friday. Dear Lord, Please use your divine power to bring peace and tranquillity to the beautiful Island of Hispaniola.

In last Saturdays Calgary Herald Travel Section there was a fairly lengthly article boosting the D.R. I think it gave the North Coast a good report which is some good news compared to a lot of the 'doom' we seem to get a lot of the time. I hope the link to the article works. If it doesn't I will...

I just read a story regarding a Nun who was just released from jail in the States today after spending two years for defacing some nuclear Silo's. It said she and two other Dominican Sisters etc. My question then is there an 'Order' of Nun's in the Catholic Church known as the 'Dominican...

The ?Dominican Today? Newspaper today reported yesterday?s violent acts in Haiti against Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, which prompted him to leave the country immediately. Haiti?s Foreign Ministry in a press release deplored the violence. The Ministry said that the violent acts, in...

"A retired Mountie assigned to help with election security in Haiti was shot and killed Tuesday by gunmen in Port-au-Prince". This is the headline news across Canada this morning. It must hit home even closer to all you Canadian expats living in the D.R. and much closer to the scene...

I spent a solid week during November 2004 looking at Real Estate around Sosua / Cabarete. I did another solid week this past November looking at the same situation again. I found that hardly anything I was told in 2004 turned into reality within the time frames that I was told would happen...

I took a photo of the maid to my apartment in Cabarete a couple of week ago. I posted it in the media gallery and the link to it is below. I thought it was very appropriate especially for the D.R. Cute and or true I guess I thought. What does the board think. Was she wearing it because it...

What is the current going rate in U.S. $'s for a Taxi from POP Airport to Sosua. The price they should agree to before leaving to save the hassle at drop off. Going to the Voramar.

Before I push the purchase button on my computer I thought I would look for some quick feed back. I am going to try a A.I. on this trip for a number of reasons. Foremost is that the charter flights are more expensive this year so might as well tack on a little and get the full deal. I am not a...

I am now curious who you are ! I would think you are regulars on these boards. Late November last year, Saturday afternoon. I came into Rocky?s with a friend and sat at the bar. There were two of you sitting at a table close to where I sat. Both around my age. We talked a little and one of...

Being a fervent snorkel diver / swimmer and a occasional scuba diver I am curious is there any history of Shark attacks in the D.R. Other countries I have lived had extensive reefs around them like the North Coast seems to have therefore inside the reefs were never a problem. Has the...
