    SDQ to Bayahibe and back

    Great trip, wonderful people, but definitely appreciate everything we have back at home. 7-3-06 7:00 flight from DCA to ATL to SDQ, arriving at 1:30pm, on Delta. Quite uneventful, and even looked forward to the clapping upon landing. Glad to be back. Though we went straight out of the airport...

    10 days....SDQ and back on the south coast

    Still pondering the upcoming trip in July. We would like to rent a moto in BC and ride to Bayahibe and back. Does this sound like an interesting trip, or should we just stick with guaguas? We've been to the DR many times, but we usually head to Cabarete. We don't want to stay in one place...

    Bayahibe

    I have been reading quite a bit on the south coast. We travelled there a few years ago, but only to BC, which really wasn't my cup of tea. Does Bayahibe have a feel similar to Cabarete? I like small beach towns, without a load of tourists, which I know is pretty much impossible to find these...

    East of SD or West

    The wife and I are looking for a laid back beach vacation the first 10 days of July. We have been to the North Coast many times, and we are looking for something different. We are not AI travellers. I don't have any problems with just showing up in a town and searching for accomodations...

    DR1 Pecking Order

    I seldomly post. Actually, I only post when I simply see this board becoming more destructive to people asking questions (maybe not the way everyone would like to have the questions asked), than a resource to people seeking answers. I also notice that there is load of *** kissing...

    southwest of SDQ

    Hello, It has been quite a while since I last posted. I am considering a quick trip sometime in Sept, since tickets are so cheap from the DC area. $260 RT w/taxes included! Anyways, since my past 5 visits have been to the north coast, I was considering the southwestern part of the DR, also...

    Recycling business viable?

    After just returning from our quick trip to the DR, I am just wondering how many recycling businesses have tried and failed. Walking the Malecon and looking at the trash/plastic floating on the surf, it looks like people would take the initiative to make some money. Folks here pick up cans and...

    11/26-12/2

    We just returned on the 2nd from another great trip to the DR. The flight into SDQ from Philly was smoothe, although the seats and snacks on US Air leave a little to be desired. We travelled with carry-on bags only to make the arrival smoothe. Greeted with an exceptionally strong cuba libra...

    tourist fees

    So, it's $10US on the way in, and $20US on the way out? Where do we hide the money so we don't spend it...

    If $1US=40RD, then 1Presidente=RD?

    I'm just curious how much the prices have gone up on local goods. The exchange rate was 16=1 the last visit. Will I be getting crazy deals or have all of the prices already readjusted? Thanks

    Budget accomodations, Hotel Palacio, Sofitel Frances, Hostel Nader? Any other suggestions. Is the Zona Colonial within walking distance to the nightlife on the Malecon? I've got one night in SD and we want to do it up pretty good. Thanks.

    haunted houses

    Long time reader, first time poster. Anyhow, my ladyfriend and myself are heading to the DR for a quick week over Thanksgiving. She has never been, and I am to be the tour guide, as I have visited 4 times before. We're flying into SDQ and will spend a night somewhere in either Boca Chica or...
