Hi All,
I am planning to come to the DR for the last week in August. I will be staying at the Gran Ventana in Puerto Plata. This will be my first trip to DR and I am looking foward to it.
I have been reading these posting for a while now and found them quite helpful. I do have a few questions.
1) I am planning to do some snorkeling when I am there. I have read about Paradise Island, a catameran day trip and a excursion off Sousa Bay. Can someone recommend a good place with lots of wildlife?
2) I found this site on the web today (iguanamama.com). Looks like they have a pretty cool hiking trail. It is called the "27 waterfalls of Damajagua". Has anyone ever been on that trek? It is worth it and how challenging of a hike is it.
3) Being 41 and single, I am not too inclined to pretend I am 18 again and hang out in a place where I will seem out of place. I am sure the 18 year old hoties are not looking to hook with someone as old as their father :cheeky:
Is there a bar/disco that caters to an older crowd?
4) Being a single male, I am hoping to get lucky on my vacation (another tourist, local, whatever) What are the rules about bringing guests back to your room? I suspect I would have no problem if it was another guest from the hotel, but what about locals?
Thanks,
see you in a couple of weeks.
