DID YOU MISS ME?
Naw, you were too excited to be back out in the world; bbqing with friends, family or taking that long delayed road trip to see grandma lightin up her joint while cracking open a new box of Frazia wine for you and wifey. As a result, this little piece of pure Nobel Prize journalism was not issued last month.
Man, this Summer has really gotten away from me and now we are well into eight months of the year. One moment, I was still writing 2020 on top of my January 2021 checks (yes, some of us ole guys still use checks) suddenly now without a thought 2021 is on the top right line.
READY FOR A BEACH BREAK?
At the roundabout in Cruz Bay take Route 10 up the hill and enjoy the view on your left going toward Coral Bay which is about twenty minutes away with lots of twists, turns and donkeys in the road. Watch out for them, they are “cute”, but have been known to bite.
As you come to the foot of a steep hill turn right just before the large church on the left. Now go about four miles and you will see parking on the left. Hike downhill for about ten minutes and you have arrived!
Remember this is a two-way trip so don’t take more than you need or it will be a long “damn” day by the time you get back to your villa. Have Fun!
OH, WHERE ARE YOU?
SALT POND OF COURSE!
TRAVEL TIPS
Of course, bring all paperwork with you as well as vaccination records if you have them. If you’re too stupid or stubborn not to have gotten both shots by now start thinking of everyone else around you.
My opinion is pretty soon, you won’t be able to board a plane to anywhere without proof of vaccinations. I’m not here to say that’s right or wrong – just sayin
Absolutely get your rental car reserved immediately after villa. Don’t care if it’s a year off then reconfirm with agency about a month ahead and get an email confirmation.
SHAMELESS MARKETING
I want to sincerely thank a number of you for recommending both Sopra Mare and Bordo Mare to your friends and family. As a result, I have very few weeks (actually four) left to rent over the next four months of 2021. In fact, 2022 is now 40% rented for the year.
Next month to me, as always, is “peak” hurricane month. I will be down there just in case things get exciting with a bottle of Heineken or two in hand. Can't wait, been far too long without my St John FiX – actually nineteen months! Can you believe that? In almost twenty years of building or renting, its never been this long – GOD DAMN VIRUS!
SUMMARY
This newsletter is coming to you from Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic where the first of two villas will be done this week 100%. Next week, open house for realtors, lawyers, high-muck-a-mucks. I will put out a special report and of course, pictures on this project later this month when I have time. This is not like any building project undertaken by me in the past. Ultra-modern and huge! In fact, it got out of my control more than a little during the building process. Too late now to turn back! HA!
Have a great August and I’ll be seeing you during hurricane month. I’ll “Leave The Lite On For You” at your island home – Bordo Mare or Sopra Mare.
