Well, my 2 week holiday in the DR has begun. I arrived at the hotel (Aloha Sol) in Santiago at 9:00pm. When I was originally planning this visit it was my intention to rent a car at the airport in POP and drive to Santiago but several members here advised against doing that and so I decided on getting here using Dominican Transfer. Now that I?ve seen what that drive is like (especially at night), I?m glad I decided to listen to the advise! When my week is up here, I will be renting a car for my second week because I?ll be staying in Cabarete and it is my intention to get out and ?explore.?
This has been a long day! I left Ottawa this morning at 9:45am and had a 4-hour wait in Toronto before heading to POP and then the 2-hour drive to Santiago.
One final note ? I would highly recommend Dominican Transfer ? the driver they provided (Juan) was not only a good driver but very friendly and really made me feel welcome.
Tomorrow, I?ll go out and wander around the area here then on Monday I have to contact Children?s International to finalize arrangements for meeting the 2 boys and their families that I sponsor.
