Hello all, Today I was watching a really beautiful house here in Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, NY that's very nicely decorated for Christmas. As I was admiring it, I just had the most beautiful memories of christmas times back in Santo Domingo in the 80's when I was a child. My parents always...

Hello, I'm trying to reach Vista Bella Club, a nice place with cabins in the mountains of Jarabacoa. I stayed there last easter, but I lost their phone #. I looked in the DR Yellow Pages online, and also did a Google search but could not find any information. Would anyone on this board have...

Hello! I'm going to D.R. next week and will stay there for 30 days. I'm taking my notebook computers. A few years ago, I know that Codetel (now Verizon) had internet service for like RD$300 a month, but that was in connection with a regular residential phone line (some service called VIP, or...

Hi fellows! I'm dominican and live in NY. Maybe I'm a little bit disconnected from the political events happening in D.R., but I was shocked yesterday as I watched the news about the selection of presidential candidates for the PRD party. I saw that only Hippo and another guy I've never in my...

Hello, I'm planning to visit cool Constanza this hot summer. I searched the archives to find a way to get there by public transportation. But there's only directions by car. I also checked the Caribe Tours website. But apparently they don't go there. Has anybody travelled from La Capital S.D...

Hello, I have spoken to several different people from the DR over the phone, and they all have told me that they have heard that the school week in NY has been shortened to 4 days because of budget cuts. I know that this is ridiculous, because this hasn't happened at all here in NY. Now, my...
