Although I'm living in Puerto Plata now, back when I was a vacationer staying at the AI, upon check-in I would request that my bracelet be placed on my wrist with lots of room to slip it off easily so that when I went out (I was always going to clubs to dance) I wouldn't be a dead giveaway. Occasionally, I'd get a front desk person who wouldn't honor my request. So in case they wouldn't, I'd always bring a black stretch wristband to wear over my bracelet. Then all I had to do was try not too speak much and let my friends do all the talking (ordering the Brugal, Presidente, etc.). So, it wasn't an original idea after all? I thought I had invented it!
