Well, let's see ...


What is going on?

Last night I ran the Sport's Bar for David Lee and things went very smoothly. The joint was jumping and people were drinking and having a great time. It was nice seeing people I had not seen in a while. Stop by tonight for 2 for 1 rum & cokes. See you at the Poolhall!

Spirit is having an UNBELIEVABLE sale for the July 4th weekend to Santo Domingo. Some of the flights are $17, yes, that's right. I have gotten 2 emails telling me that they purchased their tickets. Go, there now! What other plans do you have for July 4? Are you still reading this? Get to Spirit, NOW! Thanks to Alan Washington for the email.

I don't know how many of you saw Oprah's Legends Ball this past Monday. But, I absolutely loved it. I wish that is was longer and I hope there is going to be a DVD out about it. I have been reading other blogs and looking at the comments. It is amazing how negative so many people are. Okay, I have nothing to complain about with the negative comments I get on my small blog. Oh, well.

There is a new actor from the Dominican Republic in the new X-Men movie, her name is Dania Ramirez. Checkout this interview with Dania.

Here are some other interesting articles for your perusal:

British article about spending winters in Santo Domingo

Is Columbus actually buried in Santo Domingo?

Cubans are finding another route to the United States

History of Sugar Cane Factories in San Pedro de Marcoris



See you tonight at the Sports Bar. Right?

And remember. I love y'all for loving me.

Hi Nena. Have you tried Kayak.com? A check on the dates you wanted showed $510 nonstop on American, using cheaptickets.com.
I found Kayak.com to be a good site to explore all the other websites.

Nena Nuyorican said...

Hey,
Thanks for the information...i will definitely look into that...most appreciated.That's the price I came up with on cheap tickets and sidestep.com
If not in July definitely for my real vacation in august that i can stay longer.

The $17 dollars fraes are for certain days only. This is typical for Spirit special fares.

Yes, Anthony the Legends Ball was UNBELIEVABLE! Oh, to have been a fly on one of the extravagant walls. Even though I taped it, I want a DVD also!! There may never be anything else quite like it.

A, there is a guy there visiting. His name is Dan. He's one of our readers. Tell him I said hello.

Anthony,

Are you fluent in reading and writing spanish? Now that you have lived there for a few years can you describe to us the difficulties and problems that you have experienced by not having a command of the Spanish language? I think it must be rather difficult being an ex-pat and not being able to read, write and speak Spanish yourself. Maybe I am wrong and it is not a problem or drawback but I would be very interested in knowing how all the ex-pats that do not speak spanish are able to communicate and live in a country where they are not well versed in the culture and language of the country. I am sure it would make for excellent reading. Many Thanks!
