Hi, you're probably going to be hearing alot from me in the months to come. My husband and I are planning on retiring within the next 2 years in Sosua with my 7 year old daughter. He is 50 and I am 44, we are hoping to start some type of small business there. I plan on sending my daughter to the ISS school and would love some info about the closest nicer neighbourhoods to look at renting a vila near the school. We have planned this for over 8 years, as we are tired of cold canadian winters. We go down almost every winter and feel we should be able to acclimate We originally considered buying, but after speaking with other expats have decided on renting, at least for 6 mos to a year. If there are other canadians would love to hear your experience with customs brokers, whether it was difficult to import your stuff onto the island, and any tips and helpful info you could share. Also info on health care insurance, good places to buy steak and cheese lol..(love my canadian cheddar). We did checkout the big (walmart) like dept store in Puerto plata last year. TIA for any help and lookinfg forward to getting to know you all
