Great stuff

Planner, I just read your blog and it was great reading. This is the kind of stuff that I was looking for upon becoming a member of the site. Information that is interesting reading. I like the take on some of the restaurants, bars and clubs.
I just returned late last night from PC and might just do a little trip report.

Enjoyed your blog immensely; please keep it up. Another great perspective.

Good job planner. IMHO fun defined is a night on the town in Puerto Plata. La Canita is one of my favorites, along with Patio de Johnny. I don't even bother with the tourist discos any more. Expensive drinks and American music? I don't need to fly to the carribean for that! My situation is a bit different, first because I'm male, and second because I bring my dance partner with me. If I get a waitress who's a "live wire", I'll usually ask my date if it's OK and dance with her, just for fun and variety. I think your advice about changing partners frequently to avoid giving the wrong impression makes a lot of sense.

I agree with your assessment of Dominican DJs. It seems a lot of them just don't get the concept that their job is to give the people what they want, get them off their chairs and dancing, and then to keep them dancing til they get thirsty and sit down to buy more drinks. I'm not a big fan of the "rotation" at La Canita. I dance primarily to bachata. They play plenty of it there, but it's 5 or six songs in a row. Then they move on to merengue, salsa and reggaeton, and it might be 8 or 10 songs before they play another bachata. I wish they'd mix it up a bit more, but I still like the atmosphere and the cheap Presidentes.

Thanks Sweet. I'll continue to post on my life here in POP, but especially the night life. I am a night person who is required to also be a day person...NOt fair...

About the music: this seems to be the way it is done in almost all the local clubs! The mix changes slightly but not much, first merengue, then bachatta then a couple of salsas,,, maybe some crap music and back to the beginning....LOL

See you need to be more like me honey: I dance them all - except to that gasoline song which I detest!!!!

Next time you visit, let me know!

If you are talking that I am addicted to the "sharing", then by all means, I AM ADDICTED!!! ;) . But if you if I have to share with AZB (since I don't know where he has been), I rather record the whole thing and just be an "looker"., lol.

Nice bloogies you two!!

LOL.. I am glad I can keep you happy with my little misstakes... ;)

Is that something that is considered "typical Canadian" by the way?
When a European speaks or writes English, an American for example sees this from the sunny side. A Canadian HAVE to point out faults, it?s true.. it happens over and over again!!!
Being a European, used to several languages, speaking several too, it seems strange to me that it should be important...
Heck let?s all turn over to esperanto, lol!! ;)

Now I will click myself to your blog!

Oh Carina, it was meant in a nice way only!!!! Endearing is a good word! It is a nice thing, not a criticism. I only pointed it out cause it struck me so much as fun!!!!

Don't worry us Canadians have fault too! OF course we will not point them out to you or admit to them..... You have to find them yourself....

It amazes me when anyone can speak more than one language. For me it is a day in and day out struggle. You make it look much easier. I know it isn't, I know it is work too.....

Thanks Maine Girl... I enjoy doing it...

No problem, I didn?t take it like criticism... that doesn?t bite on me...
It is just something I noticed happen very often...
And the best part is, I am happy anyway and don?t care about it. ;)
