So I might be stating the obvious here - but - you're driving around doing all this before you actually get your driver's license. Do you need to be a Resident to get your RD license? I'm thinking that this could be done when we are ... Read More
Internet/phone in Sosua by lauraeaton77

Hi WillieWeb, Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, that is an option we have considered. It just seems like an incredible expense and time consuming. I understand the cost is around $2,000 US (couple) which is $2,700 Cdn. I wish DR made it easier ... Read More
