Going forward with Liane’s idea we’re making this our first video of the series. While buying tires isn’t really a subject worth a video we decided to make an exception. The entire series is about general unbiased information. No bashing and no praising remember this is all about folks helping other folks. It’s truly our [...]

We’re going to begin creating a series of videos that should prove useful to a large amount of folks. It’s going to be a continuous series of what we hope will be helpful bits of information acquired over 35 plus years of living as a foreigner. By no means are we saying our way is [...]
A fair while ago I did a YouTube featuring the Dulce Vida restaurant. During that time the food was superb. As with most businesses (mine included) things tend to go along smoothly for a while and so you just coast along and do little in the way of improving things. After all why change what’s [...]
I recently received a request from one of our subscribers. They thought it would be a good idea if I filmed some of the construction currently underway around the town of Cabrera. I took a couple of hours and just drove around the various neighborhoods. I simply snapped a few pictures of the homes currently [...]
As we’re fast approaching that time of year, all of us on the DR Escapes and Something feels wrong team wish you and yours all the best for the holiday season and upcoming New Year. We hope 2018 is the year that many convert their dreams into realities. This is also the time many folks [...]
With the 2017 year coming to a close I wanted to take a few minutes in efforts to keep our subscribers up to date. Amid the many happenings around the town, Cabrera is facing a modest but sustainable growth. With the Discovery Corporation buying out the entire Playa Grande project, a lot of media coverage [...]
The last couple of weeks have been harsh. The passing of a good friend is always a hard-hitting experience. All those who knew the recently deceased will miss him immensely. By living large, by living in the NOW he understood better than most that death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been occupied with accumulating data. There are several reasons why I blog but one that ranks high on the list is being able to render accurate information. Blogging is an ongoing effort that consumes a considerable amount of time but yields it’s payback in good solid information, accurate [...]
Between our NW video tour followed by a ten day family reunion in Canada it’s nice to be back to the normal smooth pace of Cabrera. Liane and I took advantage of the off time, the summer time in Cabrera and headed up north to Timmins Ontario. Thought we’d enjoy the cooler temps while spending [...]
I want to cover a subject that I should have covered a long time ago. I want to talk about the amount of ridicules accidents I see when I’m out on my excursion trips. Many of these accidents are located on open straight highways with exceptional pavement. The main highways in the DR are actually [...]
In my prior post it was mentioned expect foreign policy and the sabre rattling to relax, but only for the time being. I’m adding a bit more depth in attempts of providing what I hope promotes a clearer picture of why I retain the “for the time being” sentiment. Subsequently it’s my desire you’ll begin [...]
