More questions
Thanks to all of you for your insightful thoughts and information. We just got back from another trip and have put an offer in on a house in Sosua. I know you're all saying to rent before we buy, however we found a house that is affordable for us and we aren't going to be dependant on having to sell the house if we decide to leave the DR.
I posted another thread about internet service in the Sosua area. I understand that it is readily available and the house we may buy has cable. The question is how do I arrange to have DSL or 'high speed' internet connected? Is there a web site or telephone numbers and any recommendations would be appriciated.
Another thing, mail. What do you guys do about it? I understand there isn't a postal delivery system in the DR so what do you do? I am thinking of having all of my mail delivered to a relative here in the States and then once a month having them FEDEX it to me there. What'd ya think?
We've decided to make the move simple and either sell or store all of our things here in the States before moving down. We'll be buying a car there and I understand that we need a residency (Cedula) before we can obtain insurance. Any suggestions on where to go to buy a car would be a great help. I've checked www.super-carros.com and have gotten an idea of what's out there.
I'm so glad that I found DR1 as it's making the transition much easier.
