Why is it that when booking a package trip to a AI in La Romana, you have to land at Santo Domingo, or Punta Cana????? I know there is a International Airport in La Romana???? Thanks.

My friend has just been denied. Apparently because the officer feels she does not have enough money in her bank account! I would like to hear from anyone (especialy from Toronto) who has had success, after an initial denile. I'm thinking about wether to get an immigration lawyer involved...

How long should a letter take to reach the D.R. from North America? I mailed a letter over a month ago, and it has still not been delivered? Is the D.R. Postal Service really that bad? I don't think I should have to spend $80.00 just to send a letter by Fed Ex!

The answer may vary depending on who I ask, but for someone like me, who knows nothing about him - which is he?

I know this is a boring question, but can anyone reccommend a place. I know the hotel will charge me a mint for it! Mucho Gracias!

I recently stumbled on a website that offers it's clients a way to view pics of Dominican Woman and write to them, send them flowers etc., meet them, and if both people like (love) each other - marriage. I'd be interested in hearing from guys who have done this, and what their experiences have...

Can anyone here identify the items on the Coat of Arms? There are two distinct tree branches (for a lack of a better word). I thought one might be Tabacoo, but I don't think so. There's also what appears to be a Book? Since a Crucifix is above it, I'm thinking it represents the Bible? Or...

Would anyone here know where I could find a map of Santiago on the Internet? Thanks.

Why hasn't SD's municipal gov. never bothered to eliminate these? I would think there would be some interest in wiping-out past symbols of american occupation? Why were the americans allowed to name some of the steets after american presidents?? Or maybe in typical, american fashion, they...

Looking for some input from Dominican fellows here. This gringo assumes nice collard shirts, nice shoes, and slacks are good enough to go to most night clubs? (especially clubs that cater to tourists). But I've been wondering if for some places, (clubs that are a little more up-scale, or...

Do any of members in the Toronto area know of any Dominican Restaurants/Night Clubs? I've only been able to find one Restaurant: RANCHETA "The Friendly Dominican Restaurant" 879 St. Clair Ave. ( about a block east of Oakwood, on the south side ). I've dined their three times and found the...

I've noticed some A.I. hotels advertising that they are located in this complex - like it's "good" thing. I invision this to be some sort of private, gated, community where locals are not allowed to enter, other than to work in the hotels; and where all attractions are a good distance away. Is...

I'd like to hear about great, succussful, stories of Canadian/American guys who were able to find and marry a Dominican woman (wether you were looking for it or not). I was in the DR for the first time last Jan. and discovered the country is full of beautiful woman. I realize it's almost...

I'd like to know if theres any good, safe, places to meet and dance with Dominican woman in Sosua, Cabarete, or Puerto Plata. When I say a good, safe, place; I mean a place where the woman are more interested in socializing and dancing with you, instead of just trying to get you into the...

I think I've seen a few people here recommend not staying at A.I.'s if you want a more closer, genuine, experience with the D.R. and her people? I've been to the D.R. once (stayed at a A.I.), and planning to return this coming Jan. I'd be interested in a more authentic experience this time...
