Ok so here is how I ended up here on DR1.
Ten years ago I went on my first trip out of Canada and I ended up in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Since then I have returned over 15 times. About a year ago, I stumbled upon Dr 1. I was set on "living the cheap" life in the DR. After reading the DR Forums daily, and receiving so much good advice from all of you, I have realized it is not "cheap" to live in the DR. I would like to thank all of you for that information, especially Criss Colon. So here's my question, I will be travelling to Punta Cana next month once again, and I am getting sick of staying on the AI.
I have always stayed on AI's simply because due to the price of flights, it always make sense. Believe me or not I have been off the beaten path many times. I know what to expect when leaving the confines of my resort.
This time I am coming back and would like the best of both worlds, my resort and hiring a driver for a day or two to show me the real DR. I do not need a driver, however I would love all of your suggestions on places to go and see for one or two day trips from Punta Cana. I should mention, I am a male and will be bringing my girlfriend (aka bringing sand to the beach).
I would like to see the "real" DR (which I've had a taste of), any suggestions are welcomed.
