And...did u know that D. Republic is ranked first in the most visited places in the Americas???

Its the beginning of May, and its already getting into the 90's there, and humid. Thanks, but nope.

In the middle of the Gila wilderness sitting naked in a natural hot springs high as hell after eating an edible with my beautiful wife and our lady friend.

My camp/fly fish trip to Montana USA had to be cancelled. I was hoping it would be safe to go in the fall, but that may be when the bigger wave of COVID happens. Trump and millions of “you can’t tell me what to do” folks are determined to kill us all.

Heading to Oregon to meet my first grandbaby born April 6th.

I vacationed in the D.R. for a week. They are a struggling nation. Some good features, but many not so good.

The do share the same Island with Haiti...so they are at least respecting the strategies of avoiding environmental degradation and overpopulation more than the Haitians do.

They're almost entirely dark-skinned African-D.R.folk.

They have unique gemstones available there called "Larimar" which is a light blue stone; unfortunately it's commonly set in silver, rarely in gold.

They have a decent highway system. The main roads are well maintained.

They have a least one beautiful cave system on the south coast to explore.

Their shores are pretty...and the little isolated "resort" communities stand alone from the sad, poorly organized communities in the neighborhoods.

Mine is a very simple one, to go out and collect a load of firewood so at least I can get my wood-burning heater going and warm this house up again during winter here, it's getting bloody cold here these days.

I’ve actually thought about the Dominican Republic

I want to travel to the next small town down southeast of me, and hug my granddaughter. Then I'm traveling to the older part of Omaha to hug my grandson. I don't care if I never leave Omaha again, I want to hug the grandbabies.

China...

I will head out to some quieter place outside the U.S. I like exotic cultures, places and not much interested in Europe. I like Asia and Africa.

Staying where I am. My summer vacation is to go to Maine for family reunion.

When all is done, I'll be dead and my last wishes won't be honored. They'll ignore my driver's license says donate my corpse to science. The sad thing is after new doctors figure out how the old doctors KILLED ME, they'll send my corpse back. After that, I want to a funeral on a shrimp boat so they can bury me at sea and let the crabs finish me off.

Presently, I don't think I can get to the Dominican Republic. Last I heard only PRACTICAL way to spend time there would be by plane and the airports are shut down. If I went, I would be interested in a coral reef snorkeling tour, getting around by rental moped and staying at a bed and breakfast.

All of which scares the living who ha out of my temporary spouse. Petunia thinks I'd kill myself on a moped.

Let's go to Dominican Republic
