I'll second that!

While I can bitch and complain as well as the next person, I thoroughly enjoy living here.
After all, we have raised a flock of kids and now are working on the grandkids, so it can't be as bad as some people like to paint it, now can it?

HB,
How is the weather pattern around Santiago??
If we do come, it sounds as if that is the area we will look into. It sounds as though it is really hot. And rainy. I guess that I know very little about this area. Any info that you can give would be helpful. I am just looking for an idea of what it is like.

We would be renting until we got settled, and then buying. We would invest in an inverter d/t the electricity. We love the ocean. And, we are planning to homeschool, so education is not a big deal. I do it here, and they are doing just fine. If the five year old wants to go to school, and it suits him, we will find one for him at that time.

Also, what kind of emergencies do you think cannot be handled by the hospitals in the DR. I know that you said that they health care there is pretty good, but I also read an old post of yours where a friend was airlifted for heart surgery.

I have gotten tons of negative feedback, but you seem to have a different idea of what it is like there!

Thanks,
mainer

I've noticed that your posts, including this one, seem to have more to do with drumming up business for yourself than assisting people to learn about the Dominican Republic. With 17 years experience you should have more to offer.
