Thanks,

Hello to young your husband Nancy. I wil be arriving there this month. Hopefully we will meet up.

Hi Mountainmama52,

That would be wonderful! We are excited to meet new people. We should be there in October and I will be sure to send you a quick note through the Forum. Please keep in touch and let me know how things are going down there.

I can't wait to get there we are so excited.

Will you be living in town?

Nancy

I know how you feel. I'm very excited as well. I will be on the edge of town in a gated community next to the beach. Just where I wanted to be!
Will keep in touch.

We are planning on moving to Punta canna next year to give my twins a different look at life. I think that is close to where you plan on moving. One question did you do your resident visa yourself or hire a lawyer?  Looks like the paper work is extensive
Thanks
Bobby

Hire a lawyer!!!! It doesnt have to cost a fortune!!!! Both Bob and I can recommend reasonable lawyers!

Hi Bobby,

We are not doing the residence visa yet. We're going to do a tourist visa and just pay the overstay fees when we leave. When we decide for sure that we want to live there full time we will start doing the residence visa. We will be coming back to the states often so we will start the process in the states when we make the determination of what we want to do. We definitely will hire a lawyer to be sure it gets done right. We don't want to get in the middle of the process and find that we didn't do it correctly.

We would love to meet you when we get down there and I'm sure we are pretty close to each other, at least close enough to drive.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Best regards,

John and Nancy

Thanks Planner,

I appreciate the feedback. We will definitely contact you for some lawyer names when we get ready to do that.

Nancy

Your plans make perfect sense!!!!

Bobby and Nancy - just an FYI - it's at least a 3 hour drive from Las Terrenas to Punta Cana!

Thought you had to go down to Santa Domingo, then to PC.  Is there a new highway open?

I was guessing at 3 hours - knew it would be at least that long!  Google Maps is showing closer to 4 hours, and yes...down to the capital and then over to Punta Cana.

6 hours plus or minus

Bob K

Santo Domingo to Punta Cana airport area is 2 hours if regular traffic! SD to las terrenas???

SD to Las Terrenas is about 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic.  We will go to SD occasionally and plan to do a lot of sightseeing so visiting Punta Cana is definitely a possibility.

Hope to see you when we do visit there.
Nancy

Well i am currently splitting my time between Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo. But would.love to meet you!

Nancy,

You've made it from Las Terrenas to SD in 90 minutes?  Our trips have all been over 2 hours.  What part of Las Terrenas were you traveling to?  Even our return from Coson took over 2 hours, and I don't think our drivers were wasting any time!

Denise

Well ours was from the airport to downtown LT.  It was probably closer to 2 hours but we didn't have too much traffic and we didn't stop anywhere either.  My husband said 90 minutes so I went with that.
