and glad I found this board! We are taking our first trip to the DR this Wed. and I have a couple of questions.
We are staying at the Melia Caribe Tropical in Punta Cana, and was wondering what kind of touristy sight-seeing things we should see/do/avoid, etc.
Also, should we exchange our US $ for pesos when we get there or can we deal in US $ for everything. We are on an all inclusive plan so I guess I'd just need cash for buying souveniers, etc.
Third - we will be traveling with our children (6 year old twin boys) who are developmentally disabled (down syndrome). How welcoming are the locals in dealing with children with this type of disability?
I appreciate any and all suggestions/input!
Looking forward to my visit there!
