Hello Everyone. I have chosen to move to the Dom. Rep. in the Samana area. I am a pensioned/retired combat veteran of the U.S. Army. I am thirty seven, I have lived abroad often once in Germany for five years and again in Italy for three years. This doesn't include any of my duty tours in, ahem, "unfriendly" environments. American English is my native tongue, but I am fluent in reading and speaking German, although my spelling leaves something to be desired. I know where I am going, know where I will stay, my issue is I would like to have a couple points of contact, irregardless of nationality, just in case I need to ask questions before my language skills have time to develop. I also have a unique question, are there any Veterans living abroad that are disabled/retired or have medical coverage by the Veterans Administration that are part of this blog? If so, I would love to be able to converse with them prior to leaving. If all goes as planned, I will be in country before the middle of June 2014. I also have some questions in regards to shipping some items before the move as I will be travelling as light as possible. I would be really happy if I could meet someone in the Sanchez-Samana area that could be a "phone call" friend for questions once I am on the ground. Please any and all compliments will be greatly appreciated, both positive and negative. Thank you so much. I can't wait to get on the Jet Blue flight out of JFK in New York!!!!! Best Regards, Kent
