This is my first post here so please excuse if it's in the wrong place and by all means move it.
I have a work tasking that should put me at Samana airport for about 1 month. This is expected to start sometime in October. I no nothing about the place and am looking for input to get myself up the learning curve before landing. From what I have read it seems the country has some similarities, and many differences from the place I call home these days, Bangkok, Thailand.
The sort of stuff I am interested to know about is:
Accomodation, where? It will be company funded so I'm looking for some comfort.
Transport, how? Can I drive myself? I'm quite used to driving in Asian countries, minimal rules etc.
Downtime, what? Work will occupy the days, but what about the nights? I have no problem in taking sand to the beach, any one of my 'consultants' here would be happy to join the trip. Is this my best bet for maintaining my personal comfort level?
Other, what else do I need to know or think about?
Many thanks for any replies.
