almost on my way!!!! a little advice still needed!

After returning from the last 2 weeks in the DR in POP in August, have been depressed ever since..... however after starting a new job - which has a better salary i can afford to cheer myself up!!!
Am going to being in Playa Dorada for 3 weeks from 20th Nov with a friend who i met out in the DR when i last came.

Apart from being very excited, we did most of the trips/tours etc on last couple of visits around POP and Sousa. If anyone knows of any other trips/tours/places to see or visit would appreciate your help, you have all been great in the past.
Also, we did begin to venture out of the resort last visit, however we would like to go into POP at night, to nice bars, clubs and restaurants, any advice on where to go, and where NOT to go would be good. I don't want to put myself and friend in the wrong place at the wrong time, but not miss the real DR either.
AI's are great but for 3 weeks!?!?! might get a bit much.

With thanks, a very very happy Emma Houlihan!!!!!!!

Ok, i'll explain a little better, to begin, i have read the posts on this site for quite a few months, so i understand you may have assumed i was after some "sanky panky" sex, however i am not.
I have been to the DR a few times and always had a great time - and never indulged in resort male staff thing - not my cup of tea as us english would say.
I am with a female friend (no am not a lesibian before you think that one up aswell) and her family, from scotland, there are 12 of us traveling over in Nov.

I was simply asking for some local bars, restauants, clubs in puerto plata, that me and my friend (Jacklyn) and possibly the rest of the bunch could go out to, being off the resort, i didn't want to just go off the resort and not know where or what im going to, or are there any other places to visit that are of interest, and after having flight difficulties we will now only be there 17 days, so not as long.

Grahame - will email you. Have not been online for a while, did not forget you!!!

Jbhermes - im glad you like my name.

I must admit i was a little shocked by a couple of the responses, for example getting myself tested for HIV etc etc etc, i understanded that you assumed the worst considering the normal advice requests you get. However not all holiday girls( am 25) are completley stupid/have no common sense - only most of them.......

Hope to hear from you all.
