Hello all!
So my girl buddy and I only have a week to stay, coming from the US (Feb 26 through March 5). We want to be frugal and fair when we take guaguas and carritos and shop for beans, rice and veg.
We are thinking that it is best to pay cash in pesos for rides and food rather than USD. Is this correct?
This is such a budget trip we are actually weighing whether we get our beans and rice in a DR market or carry them into the DR. Yes, this is a seriously budget trip! Advice please!
We will be staying in Costambar, which seems somewhat resort-like. Quiet, but maybe a bit too americanized? Please tell us what you think about this area and how to leave it properly if needed.
We also want to visit Cabarete by way of guagua from Costambar, but beyond that our plans are still open for the week.
≈
We are only bringing carry ons with no fee for checked luggage up to 50# (thanks Jet Blue!), so if you know someone in the Portland Oregon area that needs school supplies taken to friends or family, let us know. Of course, subject to our inspection and discretion
Tell us what you think expats, and spare no details!
