Ok guys, bear with me!
My partner and I are planning on spending a school year in the DR. We do not plan on working for any entity in the DR but will be living off investments here in the US and doing a lot of online work.
Here are some of my questions:
In order to run our businesses while in the US we need reliable WiFi. We will be living across from Playa Dorada to start with and I was wondering if it is available there.
My stepkids will be attending school. However, they need a small, quiet situation. Both of the kids are quick learners but they do need a quiet environment to learn. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. We have the choice to enroll them in a private Christian school in POP but I would rather see what is out there than assume that is what we will do. And yes, we want them in Dominican school.
We are looking for a rental for approximately ten months. Again, WiFi is a must. We will need a managed property--we are not looking at living in the williwags and we need someplace secure. Personally I would like to live in the Colonial Zone because I like it.
Our plan is to do this in school year 2007-2008. That is right, a year and a half away. We are able to come and see potential rentals.
Obviously we are looking for something furnished.
Our goal for the year is for the kids to learn a lot of Spanish and learn about the DR and the culture. I plan on bringing some materials for stuff they need for the Maine Learning Results but I am not worried about their education at school, as long as they learn Spanish. We want them to attend high school here in Maine but a year in JH in the DR should be a very educational experience.
If anyone would like to add their "advices" please chime in.
