Safety In Punta Cana

Hello.

My grand daughter (who we raised as our daughter and love very much) was recently married and flew to Punta Cana with her new husband on Wednesday.

It was their honeymoon and it was to have been a secret as to where they were going. (She didn't know either.) As they were boarding their plane she told us it was to be Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. She promised to call or email after she arrived, but we have heard nothing since.

I have been reading as much as I can about Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic since their departure and while the resorts look very beautiful indeed the US State Department?s web site contains some very alarming information. (I included the link, but the forum wouldn't let me post this message with a link, so I had to remove it.)

I would sincerely appreciate any information anyone one can provide regarding tourist safety in Punta Cana. Also a list of resort hotels and their telephone numbers would be a big help.

Thanks in advance,
A worried dad

Pyratt, thanks...I think.

Our grand daughter has been living, working and attending college in a different state for the last three years.

She has traveled to Africa, SE Asia, and Central America during that time, but has always let us know that she had arrived safely.

Thanks WINSTRIC. I appreciate that.

That going down the aisle thing was indeed tough.

I wish!


Hey, I just received an email from her!!! They had to use an Internet Cafe since their notebook wouldn't work at the hotel. Whew!

Dr. Pyratt - Thanks I will. (look at her photos)

And, I truly look forward to hearing about her trip.

Jules and I have come to the conclusion that the resort where we are staying is training to be an extremely tan and fat human being...

I had the opportunity to go sea kayaking! It was beautiful and loads of fun. And I didn't have to follow a group, I could explore on my own (though many people were nearby)
