So I went through and sold everything I had, went back to the states. My mom's health isn't that great, and it's still not all the best.. but she's got a few years!! I cannot do another long winter, so I'm hoping to come back to the island this month until maybe Aprilish. Now I have to re buy everything!! Is this crazy? Of course it is, but I think it's time to admit I will become a snowbird.

So.. anyone leaving the island? I need everything Inverter, Refridgerator, Stove, table and chairs, etc..

Any great ideas how I can get this stuff fairly cheaply?

I know if there is ANYWAY to get this stuff cheap it would be all of you that would know..

I knew I could never stay away that long.. but WOW.. never thought it would be in less than a year.. I moved back in November of last year.. Here I am coming back in September!! haha

I couldn't stay away!!

Thanks in advance for some ideas :)

PS-- I'll be near San Francisco de Macoris

First, are you renting? I am thinking you are??? If so why not get a place that has appliances and maybe some furniture. Not sure exactly why you would get a place with bare bones. Also you need to start thinking about applying for residency, if you havn't already. That starts at home and getting the proper documents. If you are going to be in the DR for 4-6 months a year you will need to do this. Good luck.

Try the compraventa - the pawn shop. Not to be confused with the porn shop.

Welcome back!

I hope you have another great experience. What you're doing more or less amounts to snowbirding, and you're in good company.

Enjoy.
