I'm going to the DR this coming January for ten days. I am familiar with the country, when I lived in Miami I visited three times. I spent most of my time on the north coast and el cibao. I haven't been back since 98' and will be going with my wife this time. I'm trying to plan a temporary itinerary to see the most I can in ten days. Here's the schedule....I'm arriving on a Saturday afternoon and would like to spend one day in the colonial zone. I have from Sunday to the following Thursday to travel anywhere I want to go. I have a conference starting Thursday at Los Marlins in Juan Dolio until I leave on Sunday morning. I was thinking of making a loop something along the lines of SD one day, Jarabacoa two days and Las Terrenas/Samana two days and then head back to Juan Dolio. Anyone else have any suggestions?
