A formal "Hola" to the DR1 board

Hi everybody,

After reading this thread, I felt kind of crappy that I never actually said hello to everyone when I joined the board a couple of months ago. I too had been lurking, but only for about two weeks before I finally posted something. I apologize for just jumping in like that. I have been living in the DR now for a little over one year, and I find DR1 to be a most valuable resource for information about all aspects of the island. You guys have also helped me a lot in terms of dealing with bouts of homesickness. Hopefully, one day I will actually meet some of you in person. Here's to a great evening to all of you.

Wow.. thanks to all for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in this community. I have visited the DR quite often most recently in July to Punta Cana for the first time. Stayed in an "AI" (i finally figured out was an AI was after about a month of reading) Parridissus Punta Cana. I was with my wife and we didnt leave the resort although she wanted to. She was born in the states but is of Dominican heritage and wanted to visit her family in La Romana. Maybe next time. Again... thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome to all the newcomers - remember - don't take anyone here too seriously(incl myself) and it will be more enjoyable. Sometimes, unfortunately, forums can cause people to come across alot harder than they really are in real life. Case in point AZB, he goes at it with a lot of people on thease forums, incl myself, but is really a nice guy in person. :)

welcome to the kingdom of crazyness.
ask your questions, believe half of the answers and never take a gold member's answer too serious, most of'em lost their jobs(or never got some) so nothing else to do than answering all the daily posts, lol.
with those little basic rules in mind you will have a lot of fun here and gather all info you may need for your future trips.
but what a shame, you visit Punta Cana and did not step by the family around the corner in La Romana??
next time plan a trip within your stay.
Mike

Hola again

Hi everybody, it's me again. Just wanted to say thanks for making me feel welcome here. I've already laughed my head off at some things (Beanie), while learning a lot about others. Now I look forward to logging on every day to see what's new and see if I myself can help someone as I've been helped. I'm addicted; have to have my daily fix.:cheeky:
