We are planning a trip April 2, 2006 for 2 weeks - returning April 16, 2006. We have been there 3 times and have travelled extensively to other countries.
Our neighbours and several of their friends (none have travelled before) are going and the neighbour has been talking to a travel agent to see if we could get a group. They are dealing with a young woman who is trying to tell them that because it is so close to Easter, a lot of things will not be available!
We have never encountered this and think she is full of it. We have assured them that is not the case. During Christmas & New Years just past, we were in Puerto Plata and the only thing not open was the Brugal tour. The Mall was even open New Year's day!
We have told our neighbours that if anything is curtailed, it will not affect us as we could go another day where we are there for 2 weeks. The people going for only 1 week with be there April 2 to April 9 and tours should not be affected that week.
Am I right in giving them this information? :nervous:
