There is a saying: "If a Dominican woman doesn't have shoes don't buy her any. " This saying is obviously hyperbole but it makes a good point about spoiling and doing too much...

This incident made my day. I have a moto-concho I have known since I have been living in Puerto Plata. Over time I've given him small assignments like running my dry cleaning and other errands. I...

Jaiba o Haiba.

After reading all the comments I am thinking "got to love this group". Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Soy Haiba.

I have had a few encounters with chics here in Puerto Plata that I have met on Facebook I'd like to share. As quiet as it's kept there are chics here that are NOT having...

I used maps early in my LE career but toward the end we used GPS devices to respond to our calls for service so out of habit I have become more reliant on GPS devices than maps. I guess I am a...

All of the aforementioned concerns are legitimate. I have probably spent more money in total flying out of SDQ between gas, lodging, food and chicas, however in my case my objective has been to break...

I wish Google would have directed me to that route.

It is natural to respond and think according to how we are trained and what we have learned from life experience. In my case had I not responded training earlier in my LE career I might not be...

I was on the main highway out of the city I don't recall the name and traffic was at a stand still so I simply followed the instructions of Google, however the GPS had no way of knowing the AMET...
