    Emergency Care

    We've been snowbirds in Juan Dolio for the past 8 years. I've often wondered what we'd do in case of a medical emergency, but that was about as far as it's gone. Last night, while speaking with a daughter who is considering a visit, she asked about the availability of emergency care. She had...

    Burning Garbage & Your Health

    I don't think it's a bad thing for anyone to want to stop the burning. It's horrible for your health & you only need to take a look at your floors & furniture to see what it does to your home.

    Burning Garbage & Your Health

    We are snowbirds & have been coming to Juan Dolio for the past 8 years, staying in Marbella Condominiums 4-5 months. Every year they burn garbage across the way in the Haitian Village & no one seems to say a word. We have been here since the beginning of Dec & it seems like they've been...

    Omicron Protection

    Sorry, but The Gateway Pundit is a Far Right media with most of the things they write fact checked & wrong. I think we all need to see what kind of media is printing some of these articles.

    Omicron Protection

    I don't think those are legitimate sources. I looked on the FDA Adverse Reporting & it's nothing like that.

    Entry and departure forms to be digital as of 1 April 2021

    The only form I found was for arriving in the Dominican Republic. If there is a different one for leaving, I didn't see it. Not every question applies to leaving, but they want you to answer them. What is everyone doing about that?

    Infectologists fear new spike in cases due to coming long weekend

    Our condominium complex has been overrun with people since Friday. Once they get to the pool or beach there's not a mask in sight. Huge groups of people everywhere. If this is an indication of other complexes & resorts, there will definitely be an increase in cases.

    Taxi driver that speaks english in LA ROMANA

    I know a fabulous one in Boca Chica. Not sure what you need. Is it a one time deal. I'd be glad to share his info if you think he could help you. We've used him the past 3 years when we come for the winter. Very clean, honest, etc

    Coronavirus - In the DR

    I'm a snowbird, who overstays every year & pays the extra fee because I've been told that is the only way to handle it. I would gladly do something else & would pay for insurance when I entered, depending on what it offered. We're US & buy travel insurance every year in case of emergency. All...

    DR reopens to tourism

    And how does one go about getting that. Thinking of next winter. Also there are a lot of Canadians who won't come if their health insurance doesn't cover them. That may put them at ease
