The tide is high and I'm moving on. It's so hard to get work done when you're constantly being asked questions from potential customers. Then again its even worse when the questions are coming from existing customers. Oh well. Thats what happens when you sell things that people can't figure out how to use. Like if you didnt know what an Iolite WISPR was, would you figure out how to use it?
This brings me back to the day I left the Island. I felt it was time to go. Time to return to the mainland. Time to.. close a chapter in my life. If you walk away, every day it'll rain.... ok.. Enough of the Bruno Mars. Who doesn't think that song totally ripped of Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones.
So we were trying to leave Puerto Plata and there were no flights to Canada. We had missed the flight we wanted to catch by a couple of hours. That's what you get when you don't plan your escape! So there we were, all packed up and ready to go with nowhere to go. We decided to drive towards Cabarete towards Samana. It wasn't our first trip around the Dominican Republic. We had been all over the Dominican side a couple of times anyway.
We ended up driving to Punta Cana and catching a flight into Halifax. I still have the photos of my little boy at the Punta Cana airport. So cute, he was walking around playing having a good time. Dave is still down there trying to sell Dominican Real Estate. He's got a good website now so maybe he'll have some success with it.
Our friend came down there, he is from Iraq. I wonder if he is missing his Arabic TV Channels. He didn't look like he really cared about that kind of thing, but he spoke to his friends in Arabic so I would think if that was your natural language that you'd want to speak arabic. With these new Mediabox IPTV receivers you can get all your arabic TV programming from anywhere in the world. How about that says Ahmed! I think he likes it.
Anyway, maybe another day I will go into more detail with my unplanned Dominican Escape. I miss my Hyundai Terracan I left behind... I miss a lot of what I left behind, and I really miss the island. I miss a lot of things lately. I guess the music helps, and so does staying busy with work. So I guess it makes sense to give a shout-out to my friends at Vaporizer Store where they've got the new Arizer Solo. Everyone has been asking for the M107 Arizer Solo, well.. he has them. It's actually fuinny cuz my Iolite Vaporizer is starting to die out on me. It takes like 100 clicks to get it to light which means its on the way out. I'm thinking of switching to the Arizer Solo myself, but my issue is that its just a little too delicate.
It doesn't seem right to end on such a commercial note. So lets get into the reasons we left. Things just seemed to be going downhill. The reasons we aren't going back are equally as silly... spiders! And I guess having children makes it difficult. With young children I'm not sure the Dominican Republic is the greatest place to be living. Although, it really wasn't that bad. Once you get used to the heat you realize that you're living in paradise. And once you figure out how to make a living while living in paradise, well.. then you're set then aren't you! You'd probably be ready to start looking at that Dominican Real Estate LOL.
