It is very safe to travel and stay here alone, if you use your common sense and know some rules...

My version is on my blog
http://www.dr1.com/blogs/?u=planner

I live and work here and I am single. Playing tourist here can be a wonderful experience on your own or it can be aweful, depending what you want, how you act and who you associate with.

There are many awesome DR1 members who can help you out.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply!! :glasses:

I think that I am leaning more towards Sosua. I have visitied both Cabarete and Sosua beaches briefly on my previous trips with family....and from what I recall, I like Sosua beach better. (I'm not into water sports too much, besides snorkleing!)

I am going to do some research from the info that was provided, we'll see how it goes....

Also, does anyone have any information on taking the bus to Santo Domingo?? Could it be done in one day or is better to make it a overnight visit? I think I have read that the buses are called guaguas?? I have never heard that term before....Any info on this would be appreciated!! Ex: Where to catch the bus...how much does it cost etc.

Thanks again!!

Just be prepared to have many, many, many guys after you. Like flies on schit (not saying that you are, but you know what I mean).

Also, be prepared for the "I love you", "you are pretty", "I want to make babies with you", "I can not live without you".... comments.

And lets not forget about the TEARS. Oh those tears.

Bottom line, do not forget to take your common sense with you and DO NOT believe EVERYTHING that comes out of people's mouths!!!!!.

Good luck!.

Caribe Tour bus takes you there in comfort, in 4 1/2 to 5 hours, so a return trip in one day is not worth it.
The bus costs less than 10 bucks.
Guaguas are usually for shorter distances, as they stop everywhere and anywhere.
The Caribe Tour bus to Santo Domingo leaves from Sosua, stops in Puerto Plata, twice in Santiago, La Vega, then Santo Domingo.

I would not take a guagua that distance (assuming they have guaguas going that route). Guaguas are small, non-airconditioned, overcrowded, very old, and beat up. I would take a CaribeTour bus. The bus from POP to Santo Domingo takes about 4 1/2 hours and costs about RD220 (US8). They run about every hour. You can find the schedule on their website.

Actually, Elizabeth the one on my left flew up to Montreal for my wife's birthday party last Saturday and my wife told me she is even prettier now. Anyway, got to quit highjacking this thread. Have a nice vacation.
