Cautious????? Somehow....I think not! Would be leaving SDQ apx 14:30. Going straight to Las Terrenas (unless I suddenly head your way for Ribs!!). That schedule should avoid the rush hour, shouldn't it? By the by, what is the best route? I assume main road (3) through SD, 1 past Bonao, 132 to San Fran, over to Nagua, 5 to Sanchez, etc. Is there a better way?
