Hello everyone,

We have arrived in the Dominican Republic. We got here on Thursday, 2/5. We live in the town of Cabrera on the NE coast of the DR.

Our flights went smoothly and me and Steve and our 4 cats and our dog Panda are currently living in a motel room right on the ocean. It's been pretty windy and rainy since we arrived and about 75 degrees. Very comfortable.

We have already made new friends and have been having a great time. Quite a whirlwind so far. Today we are at our house trying to make it kitty proof. Everything here is open air, which we love, but it doesn't keep my kitties safe so we have quite a bit of work to do before we can move in. It's hard to get things done here. Supplies and materials are not as readily available and the pace is much slower than in the US.

I will write more soon so stay tuned. There will always be alot to write about so once we get settled I will write some more.

Muchos besos, Connie

We love it already though and we think we will be very happy here.
