I cannot believe China has not taken apart the USA vaccines, and copied them by now. The last original thing the made and did not copy was chicken chow mien.

Thank you both, as Caribe was what I was thinking as well, and go up and get travel out of way. This will be my first trip to Las Terranas but had good experience using Caribe before. I'll do a night in Santo Domingo on my way out and have a nice meal and see if I can find a date on Cupid that...

I fly into SDQ and then have a short stay at a resort in Las Terranas that begins the next afternoon. I get in around 130 pm in May, and trying to decide if staying one night in Santo Domingo and going on bus the next day is best or should I go straight from airport to bus terminal and travel...

T figured so, but thanks.

Anyone know if there is a direct bus from STI to Puerto Plata City, or must I go to the Caribe Station in Santiago for a bus. Thanks in advance.

David, I need a furnished place for a week 22-29 July. Do you know if any weekly rentals in your nice building in POP?

I was curious if anyone lives there, as it seems its close to many other places, and has low cost of living. I am a single guy. Thanks,

Hello, and Happy Holidays to everyone. Numbeo has living in Puerto Plata about 30% cheaper then living in Santo Domingo. Does that sound about right to everyone, and the goal is can a 63 year old single man, live a western standards middle class lifestyle there on $2,500 a month in a location...

I will be coming in soon to enjoy the beach, and the medicine here is about $50 a pill. Is there a place on the North Coast to buy it cheaper, and do I need to bring a prescription? I would like to stock up a bit to bring some back. Thank you.

I have started a clothing line for athletically built men, that are dressy, elegant and made for Spring, Summer, and Fall wear only. I need to go into Punta Cana in a couple of weeks from the states, and would love to tour any potential manufacture there, or elsewhere in the country. . They will...

I am considering buying a place in the D.R. and living there at some point, as a first or second residence. I would really appreciate the opinion of regular ex pats without a horse in the race to give me your opinion. I am a single guy, 57, and may retire and start a new life somewhere...

Does anyone know if there are any overnights or short term rentals as you go north from Puerto Plata? Thanks.

I am looking to go see the falls and hike a bit in that general area, and also have spoken to a number of cute girls from cupid in that area. What is a decent, guest friendly hotel in that area, and any other advice about sites, safety, or travel to and from there is appreciated. Thanks.

Any thoughts if Luperon might be a good place to buy a place. How is that area? Any thoughts on where it might be best to get a place from a appreciation, rental, safety, and value you prospective? I want to spend as little as possible, but still get a decent place. Thanks.

I am a single guy and have been to the DR 5 times. Once 21 years ago to Sosua, and two years ago to Playa Dorado. Punta Cuna once, and Boca Chica once and never again. I am looking for another country to retire in at some point, so I travel when I can to areas south of the USA.
