something to read... go onto the Signature Vacations site, select "Travel Info" in the tabs, then click on the "before you go" link, scroll down to the bottom of this page, and click on the "Travel Warnings". You will find an alphbet, where if you click on the "D" it will take you to all the countries that start with a D, the Dominican Republic is listed there. read the information, you can check the safety issues concerning just about any country from this site. You may want to read this before you send your young teenage children off for a nite of drinking and dancing. You will find the DR is safe compared to many countries. Compare it to countries you have been to, you may be surprised by what you find. Be careful about letting your teenage children do anything more then what you would do at home. (very cautious x foster mum)

Birth certificates

Hi Kelly - thanks for your help. By "full birth certificates" do you mean the A4 sized one. Both myself and my fiance only have the small ones so is it worth obtaining full ones now?

Hi Shelobern

Yes the birth certificates do have to be full birth certificates which are a little more expensive. It has to have the details of your parents at birth which is only included on the full birth certificate and not the short one. hope this helps

We had a similar problem a couple years ago, frantically waiting for our passports as our departure date got closer and closer. I contacted our local MP's office and they were able to assist us in getting it back quickly. Worth the phone call.

There should be a prize for the 1000th post. 15 more days to go, can't wait for the beach, especially after the blizzard they are predicting for here today

shopping

Hi,

I keep forgetting to mention that you should go shopping at the Orange Market on the beach. When you step onto the beach turn left and walk up. You will see the stalls. You can really bargain here. It was a great place to buy t shirts, golf shirts and jewellery. They will take US or pesos.

Question everyone,

On our Edocs its mentions this:

Departs: PUERTO PLATA (POP) at 12:10
Via SAMANA (AZS)
Arrives: TORONTO (YYZ) at 16:30

Does this mean that we have to travel to Samana to leave the dominican? if so, how far away is it?

I'm confused.

Help ...

 

[raindear]

yup....via samana

ottawasens...looks like you have a stop over...you may or may not have to deplane...depends on what you are doing.

had to do this in holguin on the way back last year....did not have to get of the plane...just picking up more returnees.

Hi Ottawa

You must be making a pit stop. We left at 12:15 and had a direct flight that arrived in Toronto at 3:15. It is approx. 4 hours to fly back. 3 1/2 there and they are one hour ahead. You kind of spring forward and fall back all in one week!

 

[OttawaSenators]

Well I guess that's cool. Get to take off twice in 1 trip always thinking of the positives lol.

 

[raindear]

holy crap....100 pages folks! Happy...um...er....pageday?

via Samana

We have the same stop over leaving to come home to Ottawa.

Anybody know if they have rye at this place? I can drink all the rum punch they want to serve me...but my husband wants rye.

 

[OttawaSenators]

you leaving outof ottawa?

we were going to to, but it was $300 more per person then leaving out of TO

 

[Another Sens Fan]

yep - never even bothered to find out the price difference between Ottawa and Toronto. We are travelling with 2 families, 4 kids between us (from 6-12).....Toronto seemed too far away.

 

[OttawaSenators]

we are going with another couple and pond the kids to the grandparents.

saving almost $1200 bucks to travel 4hrs for the 4 of us.

 

[bonita70]

yeh I see that we have a detour on the way home via Samana, I only just printed my e-doc & saw that oh well what can we do.

 

[OttawaSenators]

this was the 3rd edoc we printed off as we were disputing our trip with sell off. this one was the first that had this detour, so they must of just changed it within the past couple of days.

 

[Another Sens Fan]

Its ok for us - we have to be at the airport for 4:30am (leave by 6:45am) on March 20th. Then back home here in Ottawa at 5:30pm on the 27th.

I am anxious for your opinion when you get back. You are leaving next week right?
