Saludos all.
I'm getting excited about my first trip to DR. My plan is to spend a week in SD and then proceed north to Santiago and then finish at a beach on the northern coast. I would like a bungalow and quiet beach experience for a couple days. I would probably have flown from the north coast back to the US, but when I booked my ticket it didn't occur to me if that was possible. At any rate, a day or two back in SD is fine since another walk around the Zona Colonial I expect will be something I would want to do.
As with anything new I get a little worried since my Spanish is minimal thoough I do know a fair number of words. My week in SD, I hope to take Spanish classes in the morning
.
I have to bother you guys with some novice questions - like, what's the going rate for a budget meal and transportation in say the capital. Am I ok if I rely on ATM's since i'll only be there two weeks?
I'm traveling alone. I hear Dominicanas are beautiful but I hope to play it cool. If I meet someone nice who I connect with who isn't thinking of me as "$$" then maybe it was meant to be as they say.
Not to be redundant, but do any helpful souls have any good tips for a first timer to the DR? I'm intrigued by the history and ethnic mix of the place. I'm hoping to learn a lot.
Muchas gracias.
