I've read quite a bit about folks going from P. Cana to S.Domingo, but not much (lately, anyways) about the other direction.
We (husband, me, & 13 year old daughter) arrive into Santo Domingo airport at about 3pm on Sat. 12/29. We need to get to Punta Cana that evening if possible. We'd like a bit of local folk exposure and want to go fairly inexpensively (ie. we don't really want to rent a taxi the whole way), but I'm not sure what's feasible, given our afternoon arrival. I was thinking about getting to the main road outside the airport and getting us on an (express?) bus to Higuey, then maybe taking a taxi from Higuey to Punta Cana? We are staying off the beaten path in a fairly inexpensive condo, and I'm afraid if it's getting dark we'll never find it unless we're in a taxi!
Any advice?
