Hello, all! Your forum has been most helpful so far. We are coming to DR in Nov 09 for the first time. We are a family of 5, with children ages 11, 13 and 15. We arrive and depart from SD. I have not booked a place, but am looking at Villas. My issue is whether to book in the Puerta Plata area (Confresi), or Samana. We have to visit a friend in the Juan de la Manguana area, and I'm wondering:
a.) how long would it take to get to that area from Samana?
b. ) could we take a bus?
c. ) approx cost?
And finally, if we rent a villa in either of those two areas, how easy is it to do things like grocery shopping, or should we just plan to eat out all the time?
Thank you so much for any advice!
Sincerely,
Tracy
