So I'm trying to plan a trip to the Dominican Republic. I've done things like that before, and always wanted to do it again. I didn't expect to feel this nervous about it, but I guess it has been a long time (when the #$%^& did I get so old???).
I want to get around on public transportation, which they have plenty of, but most of it is not the kind of bus lines that have websites LOL, you have to be prepared to wing it. And of course I'd rather go to "non-touristy" places (whatever that means in 2024) but the things I want to do, kayaking and snorkeling (at least, the places where it's easy to do that), are mostly in the tourist areas. Also, my gimp ankle is still gimping a bit and I have to work around that.
So I finally decided, keep it simple, don't try to do everything or get too clever with the "off the beaten path" stuff, just pick a few fun-looking things and relax. If it works out, then I'll try to pull an
@frodo2222 and move there. And if I do that, then I can get more ambitious and check out all the other things eventually.
It's not as cheap as where frodo is (Nicaragua), but would still definitely stretch out the old Social Security better than I can here. I've been dreaming of doing it for years, and now that I'm done with the volunteer fiasco
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
it's time to actually do something about it, yikes! Wish me luck.
Such a luxury really to be able to even think about doing something like that. Glass = definitely half full. ¡Thanks for listening!
