I am totally missing the DR and the local flavor. Love the music, the people, and the food. I need somewhere to spend the month of Feb and the DR is back on my radar.
In the past I have usually done 2 week trips. During that time I have taken little side excursions to Puerto Plata or Santiago. Every now and then I go visit Cabarete.
Eventually I run out of things to do and I walk back and forth on Pedro Clisante a few times a day.
I don't rent cars when I travel but I am open to public transport. I speak spanish and have lots of experience in 3rd world countries.
I just get bored really easily.
Would consider spending time in Santo Domingo but I think the issue with getting around and not being able to walk places would drive me nuts. Also prices for everything seem to be much higher.
Been to Puerto Plata on little days trips but didn't really see too much going on. Better to be in PP for the month versus Sosua ?
My budget would be $125 pocket money per day after room is paid for. This would need to include entertainment , food, transportation and anything else paid for during the day.
I do have interest in improving my dancing skills....bachata and salsa.
Can anyone add to this or make me see things in a different light ?
Greatly Appreciated.
PS. I have no issues going into barrios or mixing. Born and raised in NYC, currently living in Tijuana/San Diego.
Many Thanks
