Thanks for the feedback. My camera decided to do a disappearing act on me while in Boca Chica. I will be moving onto to Santo Domingo on Tuesday for 5 nights. Tomorrow I will get a taxi to STO and try Plaza Lama and Lasirena. I had a Canon PowerShot 200 and would like to get the same camera. Any idea of how much higher the prices will be than in the states. I paid about $200 at amazon.com. Regardless I am in a bind and have to pay whatever. I have a couple of day trips I will do while in SDO and a camera is a must.
