    Shipping from DR to US

    I'm sure it's been covered ad nauseum. What I'm trying to do is get one of those barrels and ship to Los Angeles. Can anybody recommend someone on the North Coast who can facilitate this for me?

    Cardboardeaux

    Just back from LA, where we drank a delicious rosé from a cardboard box. The brand was Provisions. I'm having a "do" in a few weeks and it will be an (at least) 4 bottle occasion. Has anybody ever seen wine boxes on the North Coast? Don't judge me.

    Where to purchase a folding exercise bike in DR

    Please confine your comments to this topic only. I truly don't need to know the community's thoughts on the relative merits of joining a gym vs. home exercise; why your mother-in-law doesn't recommend bike exercise; how it affects the GNP; or whether or not to serve beans with it. I am...

    Retirement visa?

    After 6 years (OK, 2 lost to COVID) and I hate to say how many dollars trying to get residencia, I've given up with my lawyer. Nice lady, but I'm not paying for nice. I recently read about something called a Retirement Visa. I think it's for US citizens. I don't own anything. I don't...

    Sosua Police/Noise Hotline

    I've been trying to reach the ruido hotline at the police for three nights to report an all-night barking dog. It rings, buzzes, and then drops. I've tried the regular police number to the same result. I just tried now, during the day, to see if it might be different. It's not. Going over...

    Permiso Temporal de Trabajo

    Working with an attorney, I invested a fair amount of time and money in obtaining a Permiso Temporal de Trabajo, which I was told was the same as temporary provisional residencia. It expired on June 14, 2020, and due to the state of emergency in the country, I was unable to go to Puerto Plata...

    Sosua "post office"

    I found out from my tax guy that I was sent a stimulus check by the IRS in May. Unfortunately, it was sent to my Sosua address. This does not bode well. Has anyone had the experience of going to the local P.O. to go through the boxes looking for a letter?
