How long does it take to drive from puerta plata airport to santo domingo, assuming I am driving my own car?

POP to STI, will take an hour and 15 minutes.

15 to 20 minutes to cross Santiago

Not counting the "Oh look, honey, there are some things!!" stops you will make and the obligatory stop to eat at the "Tipico Bonao" where you can call ahead to have breakfast or lunch awaiting your arrival...It will take about 1:45 to get to Santo Domingo and another 30 to 45 minutes to get anywhere in the city, unless your last name is Fittipaldi, and you are driving a Semi sans trailer.

Plan on more rather than less. Report back here just what you did and how long it took. That way we can update our files...

Thanks for the help, I actually lived in the DR for two years and have driven all over the east side from Punta Cana, through Miches, Hato Mayor and La Romana, plus all over Santo Domingo. I have never been up to Santiago though or Puerta Plata so thanks for the info it is much appreciated, and I do anticipate it taking longer than I anticipate, if that makes sense:)
