07/2011 - excuses to go to DR

[naptime]

[deezl]

i prefer to lie to everyone.


i tell them i'm going to sosua to fuck hookers and get drunk everyday on the beach.


that way no one will really know i'm a romance traveller.

unless they see one of your t-shirts - they spell out 'romance traveler' all over them.

Did you get laid off out of the blue, or were you hoping for that. Who do you need to give an excuse to go to the Dominican if you got laid off?

Hey i just got laid off so i decided to use some savings and hit up the DR for a week or so. Since i cant use the im going on business angle, what are other good excuses for traveling solo to DR. Im not a big enough golfer for that work, and the same goes for fishing and i have never scuba dived.

I do like sports gambling and cigars, so maybe ill just say im going for the beach, gambling and cigars? Do you think ill get weird looks or is that a pretty legit excuse?

How big of a reputation for sex does DR have? When i told people i was going to thailand i got a lot of jokes and is always akward to downplay that and keep a front. do you get that from DR? or do people lump it in with the other carribean countries like lets say i picked st. maarten instead i know people would be thinking awesome beach first.

Thanks guys

Not hoping, but it wasn't out of the blue and i got a severance package so i cant complain too much. The reason for an excuse is probably because i got embarrassed somewhat when i went to thailand and heard the usually bs back and i wasnt prepared. I think its all in mind, anyways i havve no worries now

You serious?

[foxracing]

^^^^ serious. To me theres people in my life that i would rather not know. I have no clue if they were serious or not but the convos after thailand came up of 5 dolla sucky sucky loooong time got old quick.

If it helps anyone else, there are 2 universal reactions to the DR. First the oooo the carribean and the beaches...second is; is it safe? you know since its right next to haiti

Yea its dangerous, I been killed there 4 times already.

I feel weird telling people im going solo on vacation, let alone if they know it is a known mongering destination. Thats all. I feel akward when i say, im going to be gone for a week in the DR. Then they say what for?, or they will ask with who? and i feel a little strange saying myself. O well i probably should just think DGAF (dont give a f***)

My question is 'why do you tell anybody?'
Like you, I've travelled solo to the DR and outside of one close friend, in case of the need for an emergency contact I keep the rest of it 'between my ears'.

And I have thought about an excuse in case I run into someone I know in an airport, other than that, I keep my mouth shut and only talk about these things on this board.

[foxracing]

theres people that email me and its a possibility i would have to call them back and they would know by the extension of what country i was in. Also im pretty white so i get burned pretty easily...so when i come back from any warm locale its pretty obvious. I guess i can tell friends i went to florida, but what if i have a boarding pass laying around or some shit like that.

Anyways the DR has no bad connotation. Most people just talk about the carribean, & a couple about haiti. It was a lot different then when i came back from asia.

[dquick]

This forum must be psychic. I was just thinking about excuses some guys make to go to places like the DR and the lengths they go through to hide it.

I am single, but my wingman has a live in girlfriend. (Well, they have kids and have lived together for years, so in many states it would be common law marriage. Definitely in Canada.) We took our first trip a year ago. He told his gf that he was going to visit me in Toronto. In anticipation of this trip, I always called his house from my magic jack. When we traveled to the DR, we carried the magic jack with us, and his girlfriend was able to call us on the magic jack number. She had no way of knowing that we were really in DR.

Its been a year since my wing has returned to DR. Now he is about to take another trip in a week with me. This trip, he has grown a pair. He told his girlfriend that he is going with me to DR.

Nightcrawler, I am proud of you.

Cosign,
You have not truly LIVED, until you board a plane for the DR (or wherever), and the only people who know about it, are your immediate family and you can even limit that to ONE person . Not even customers or coworkers, its "transparent" to them , you are just "away from the office".
Just forward your calls to someone else, & check on your emails online. No need for anyone to know where you are. esp today with all the devices at our disposal.
NOONE is that important , that you can not disappear a couple days. Even Governors of states do that shit.. and eveything runs just fine.

I am proud to get laid often by hot young women.

Good for you. Not exactly sure of your point. But are you proud to tell them that you get laid often by "hot young whores?".
If you do that's great. But a persons personal circumstances can make that kind of disclosure difficult. I have 2 kids, one just turning 13 and the other 9. If I was sharing my escapades with friends, co-workers and the the like I would be concerned about my kids getting knowledge of this, another good reason to keep things to myself.

Also, all of this is nobody else's damn business. I don't need positive affirmation from others or guys looking at you and saying "wow man, you got the life, screwing all those hot young women!"

Perhaps you do, I don't know but if you do, again, good for you.

I couldn't imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn't gotten laid by hot young women almost every day of my entire adult life.

Another co-sign..

I have one close friend who knows when I'm out of the country fucking.
Everybody else..gets a standard business travel to "pick a random city" excuse.

I did get kinda caught up once....
Walked into the plane....and sitting front row 1st class was an nosy/suspicious ass girlfriend of a friend of mine. I had previously told the friend I was going to Boston or some shit...

My seat was right across from hers..
So we looked at each other shocked..and she says.."if you don't say nothing..I won't say nothing".
Turns out she's BI...and was on an incognito rug munching trip to an AI in POP.

OH MAN, you could have turned that shit into your personal porno mission!
Got to strike when the iron is hot!

I would have went IN!

The less people know, the better off you are... Nothing good can come of discussing anything with Co Workers...
Tell them NOTHING...
Couples who have inter office romances say NOTHING.
Why are YOU under any obligation to tell people where you are spending your "single vacation" 1500 miles away ??

Just tell them "club Med", if they even still exist. and nothing more.
F ** them... Co Workers are the Nosiest mother Effers ... tell them nothing...

Damn straight. There is no need to tell anybody anything.

But if you do, remember that there are plenty of non-mongering things to do. And not just in the DR. The same is true of Thailand or anywhere else. So if someone makes a stupid remark about you going to Thailand, just tell the ignorant asshole that it is a beautiful country with millions of (non-mongering) wonderful things to see and do.

[foxracing]

^^^ my guess is most people my age actually are just joking when they say 5 dolla sucky sucky...but i do get a little nervous and embarrassed when that is commented. It is what is, but its fun as fuck so really i dont care and they are jealous they have never left there zip code.

I'm married and my wife drives me to the Airport and picks me up every trip.
She also irons all my clothes and packs my suitecase.

I set the ground rules before I got married. She never gives me a hard time. She even worked out a deal with me. If I bought her a dog I could take two more trips a year (not that I couldn't take it anyways).

If I had to make excuses for what I do in life then I would just eliminate the problem. Simple as that. I do what I want to do when I want to do it. Plain and simple.

Other than the people I'm traveling with, the only person that ever knows where I'm going is my cousin or brother. Just in case something happens. Nobody else needs to know where I'm going. Nowadays many people know what goes on in DR and I don't need everyone knowing my business or what I'm doing.
