........20 days to go!!!!! First visit to DR
Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice and information I've gained reading everyones messages. I'm sure it will really help us make the most of our holiday. We've reserved places online for the dolphin swim at Ocean World because we read it can get booked up well in advance, we shall book all our other excursions at the Plaza in Puerto Plata or on the beach because you said it will be cheaper that through our rep. We will definately be bringing lots of supplies to take to a local school. I haven't decided yet whether to get our tourist cards in advance or at the airport but if I leave it any longer I'll have no choice!!! We'll bring dollars and credit cards.
Is there anything else we should think about apart from relaxing and looking forward to having a great time?

Thanks again
Milly

No problem about the tourist card. Just bring a pen and exact change for purchasing it at the airport.

Well this time we are in the Occidental Gran Flamenco for the 2nd time and also we have stayed twice in the Hotel Gran Playa Dorada, i would recommend either of these two 4* hotels.

On our first trip to the DR from the UK we stayed at Puerto Plata Village - we had a great time. Don't forget to book for the different restaurants in time to get a table... recommend the Italian restaurant.

e-mail me if you would like to meet in Sosua where I live .... left the UK two and a half years ago and live in Sosua with my 2 children.

Have a wonderful holiday.
