Not sure where is best for us to live -- that's the type of trustworthy info. we need. We really want to know if we can/should liquidate and go to DR lock, stock and barrel. We are booked to be in Punta Cana for 2 weeks in Feb and wouldn't mind spending a day or 2 furthering our education/understanding.
Planner, since you have lived on both sides, north and now south, perhaps you can offer some pros/cons of each?? You also seem to indicate knowledge of insurance. Are you versed in health insurance and, if so, what info. do you have about health insurance for pre-existing conditions.
Bob, since you are well acquainted with the north, perhaps you can steer us to a specific area? If the ocean, weather, lack of hurricanes are better on the south side, what makes the north side desirable??
We have been reading a lot lately and the info. in some cases seems to be contradictory, for instance:
- don't rent a car and drive (well then how do we, on our own, check out different areas)
- (not that we would know where to go, where it's safe to go alone, etc.)
- don't go to gated communities, they're often targeted for robbery
- even with 24 hr. guard, often guards are in on a robbery, etc.
And the list goes on
Not sure I'm using this site properly -- why do my posts wait an hour before going thru??? (first time being part of a blog)
Thanks so much for your efforts to help us -- it really is appreciated!!
