I was actualy looking to book a trip to Puerto Rico. It was going to be my first "real" vacation etc.
PR was becoming very expensive...at least $120 for a hotel...and we are talking a dump of a hotel. THats when a friend of mine told me about the DR. He hooked me up with mario at costalunga....and well..from then I was hooked!!! I am a big ole gringo..but with 1/2 mexican herritange. So i really enjoy trying to pick up the language (i do pretty well when i am there now), hanging out with my friend and his family in the campo, going to different beaches and stuff around the area, and always a night or two in the capital for taste of urban civilization and real night life.
I would never have thought that on my first trip that The DR would change my life. But it has. Not a day goes by when I dont yearn to be there and see my friends.
SALUD! DR!!!!!
