Hop back in and let’s move on. After enjoying a great lunch we continue onto one of the nicest and most secluded beaches seen to date. We venture to a beach named Playa Moron. The word moron is not often used but means a hump or a mound in English. Enjoy the ride as we [...]
Dominican Republic
Continuing on I pick up my partner where yet again he was visiting friends located in the middle of nowhere. Honestly I don’t know of another soul who knows more people in the most out of the way places than my partner Johnny. We continue out towards El Limón, a well-known tourist town because of [...]
It seemed like another typical day starting off by sipping on an early morning coffee when the phone rang. It was Johnny calling. He was reminding me about an appointment in Nagua we had to attend late in the afternoon, again nothing out of the normal mundane and then suddenly he stated I’m out in [...]
Well it’s Labor Day long weekend in the Dominican Republic. A happy Dominican Labor Day goes out to everyone who’s watching. I headed out to Loma Alta and thought I’d check out what’s happening in the developments. On my way out I ran into dozens of folks on horseback. These were fine horses well trained [...]
Well it’s that time again. Every six to eight weeks I like to put out a video covering some of the progress in the Montana Y Mar development. When gathering the final segments for this video it dawned on me just how fast things are progressing in such a short time. I can’t express how [...]
On the last segment of this mini-series I take a rarely used old sand road that will connect Boca Beach to Graveyard Beach. Graveyard Beach seems to be the popular choice when Liane and her friends get together for a ladies day. Every week or ten days they seem to untie on this as their [...]
Hop back on board and let’s continue. We’re picking this up at Sunshine Beach. I’m going to tour around the shoreline for a bit before meeting up with the main road connecting these two pristine beaches. I asked Liane to splice in some music while taking the journey it’s quite a long stretch. Even after [...]
I’m sure by now you’re already aware that “ole” Barry in DR really gets around the region. Heck the entire country for that matter. Our team makes every effort to promote all aspects of the DR and not just concentrate on the ordinary or the mundane. So whenever I get the chance to give back [...]
When I received an invite to a private gathering, a gathering that my personal favorite cigar company was holding right off the bat I thought of three names who I know would love to attend. In the DR there’s this unwritten law that everybody’s welcome and keeping that in my thoughts immediately three names came [...]
One question I’m often asked is what entailed in the DYD tour. Where will we be going, what will we see? You know the general questions you’d think might have an easy answer. Turns out these questions don’t have simple answers. Over the past six plus years I’ve done close to 700 discovery tours, met [...]
Nancy and Jerry are carrying out a project that many would find hard to even consider. They’re building a 2,200 square foot pool cliff home while still living abroad. Here’s a brief history on how we first met. It’s really kind of cool how it occurred. We met Nancy and Jerry several years prior. Their [...]
In this the 2nd video I dive in a bit deeper. I’ll touch on a few areas so often overlooked until after you’ve already made your final immigration decision. I revisit why I feel it’s mandatory owning at least two passports. An exit strategy, an extra queen on the board, a get out of jail [...]
Both the Something FeelsWrong website and YouTube channel is all about keeping people in the know. Letting the folks know whenever a new endeavor reveals itself we’ll be sure to keep you up to date. With that in mind here's’ the latest in an ongoing series “the Wise Old Gringo” Over the years I’ve listened [...]
Going forward with Liane’s idea we’re making this our first video of the series. While buying tires isn’t really a subject worth a video we decided to make an exception. The entire series is about general unbiased information. No bashing and no praising remember this is all about folks helping other folks. It’s truly our [...]
We’re going to begin creating a series of videos that should prove useful to a large amount of folks. It’s going to be a continuous series of what we hope will be helpful bits of information acquired over 35 plus years of living as a foreigner. By no means are we saying our way is [...]
A fair while ago I did a YouTube featuring the Dulce Vida restaurant. During that time the food was superb. As with most businesses (mine included) things tend to go along smoothly for a while and so you just coast along and do little in the way of improving things. After all why change what’s [...]
I would like to take a moment and introduce you to our latest visitor Dave. Dave recently came down and paid the DR Escapes team a visit, which I don’t think he’ll soon forget. Dave’s a colorful personality who has recently discovered there’s more to life than the big trucks, the large home and owning [...]
As we’re fast approaching that time of year, all of us on the DR Escapes and Something feels wrong team wish you and yours all the best for the holiday season and upcoming New Year. We hope 2018 is the year that many convert their dreams into realities. This is also the time many folks [...]
The last couple of weeks have been harsh. The passing of a good friend is always a hard-hitting experience. All those who knew the recently deceased will miss him immensely. By living large, by living in the NOW he understood better than most that death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss [...]
Between our NW video tour followed by a ten day family reunion in Canada it's nice to be back to the normal smooth pace of Cabrera. Liane and I took advantage of the off time, the summer time in Cabrera and headed up north to Timmins Ontario. Thought we’d enjoy the cooler temps while spending [...]
July 15, 2017 Since returning from our latest tour of the NW coast and neighboring inlands I finally caught up with all the necessary maintenance around the house and property. I had some extra time this morning so I reached out to my buddy to see if he was game for a coffee in town, [...]
I want to cover a subject that I should have covered a long time ago. I want to talk about the amount of ridicules accidents I see when I’m out on my excursion trips. Many of these accidents are located on open straight highways with exceptional pavement. The main highways in the DR are actually [...]
