Hi All, I'm feeling like a fish out of water back here in Canada...I'm helplessly hooked on the Dominican salons I left back there in the DR...Does anyone know of a Dominican ladies salon in Mississauga or Brampton? Or maybe a salon that has someone who knows how to do hair Dominican-style? I...

I have an American friend who will be giving birth in the US but would like to come to the DR within a month of giving birth. She did that before with her first child but this time, she hears that there are certain vaccines that the baby must have now before he/she flies and that she may have to...

There are posters around town here saying that Frank Reyes is playing at the Howard Johnson/Hotel Macorix here tomorrow Friday March 14th. Does anyone know how much it will be?

Now that I am living here in the Santo Domingo area, I am wondering how I can get around the Carribean and perhaps see other islands. I see that Liat can take me to the Eastern Caribbean but what about travel to Jamaica and Cuba and other places. Is anyone aware of how I can book some packages...

I'm seeking a small (under 20") television for my apartment. Is there a compra/ventas here or does anyone know where I can buy one second hand?

I'm taking the big leap and moving to the DR this weekend. I am looking forward to meeting MommC and any other DR1ers in the Juan Dolio area. I will miss Toronto but I am looking forward to making new friends in the DR.

On my recent trip I spoke briefly with a Dominican dive instructor and another worker who operates their boat. He mentioned that there is not a lot of work for them and other beach workers in the DR...and that he'd heard from peers that there are contract jobs for Dominicans in Cuba and he was...

This trip was to spend time getting to know part of the south coast. There were no plans made in advance with the exception of the flight booking. We flew into La Romana late on a Monday night. We took a taxi to straight Boca Chica and checked into the Castello Italiano hotel. After freshening...

Well I am flying to the South Coast for the first time with friends. We'll be heading to visit friends in Juan Dolio, Boca Chica and Santo Domingo. We found a flight from Toronto to La Romana (not where we planned to fly in) for a very low price so we took that. Our friends in Juan Dolio say...

Can anyone recommend a safe, clean but inexpensive place to crash in the Juan Dolio or Boca Chica area? I've been to Sosua and Puerto Plata area several times but this time I'll be travelling to the South Coast for the first time with 3 other friends. We're looking for someplace basically to...
