You can stay the first night at Rockys if they have room. I did this one time when my reservations got kapluie once.

write marco @ Rockysbluesbar@hotmail.com and ask him if Europa is open or and if he has room for the night. Tell him I suggested to write him. He will check it out for you and write you back. He is a good friend of mine and a very nice guy. Just don't go to the casino with him because he is the kiss of death.

They were open last month when I was down. Marco can also change some money for you if you let him know in advance.

Have fun. I may be down shortly after the first. I have a closing on 5-31-02 and if that goes smoothly I will be headed into Sosua.

Regards
Scott

Pop in anyway even if I am not there and tell marco I said to buy you a beer on me.

I have a closing schedualed for 5-31-02. If that goes off without a hitch I will go maybe on 6-3-02. My daughter is in a play on the 2nd. I have last minute things I have to get done according to the building inspector who is a pain in the ass. I have a buyer that is also a pain in the ass who is draggin his ass and all I do is push everyone including the Attorneys. I am holding the mortgage and that should have made it a cakewalk but...

Marco will help you out. He is my best bud in Sosua. He has helped others on this board for me.

Yeah I got that fare but I got it before I read your post.I get e-mail notifications from AA when they run specials(I think every tuesday morning they come out with the list) and sometimes they have the $239 to Puerto Plata Deal. I was hoping they were running it for next weekend because it is the first weekend I could go in a while.Only problem is 4 days and 5 nights is not long enough for me.I need at least 10!I plan on going back for 3 weeks in November.

Thanks Sandra

Thanks for the info Sandra but I already booked 5 nights in the Europa(It is open).Is the America on the same side as the Europa going toward the beach with a little open faced bar downstairs?If so,I know the place you are talking about but I have never seen the rooms.I will pop in to see when I am there.

Jazzcom--- You are not going back until Christmas day or was that a typo? I thought you went down all the time?

By the way,the Europa was $150.00 for 5 nights with a room with A/C.A little on the expensive side but I have been there before and it is comfy.

ILoveDr

I go down all the time. I made christmas frequent flyer reservations so as not to be stuck going to Mexico again next holiday season. I couldnt get to POP either on FF'er miles or a fare under 1000 US dollars last holiday season so ended up in Playa del Carman last New Years via FF with Delta. Man was I sorry!

So to paraphrase, I only have Christmas reservations at this moment but will end up there a bunch of times before. I will probably take the 239 Thurs.-Tues. a few times and another FF'er maybe for Thanksgiving when it is expensive.

Walk out of your hotel on the main road and walk away from the beach for half a block on the same side. Haligal Bar. Tell Jube that Escott still loves her and tell Jaime that I asked her to dance on the bar for you.



Let me know if that is as good for you as it was for me! LOL
