Hi Swtness, I have been traveling to La Romana for over a year now with my two blond blue eyed twin boys, so yes we stick out like a soar thumb. We have had no problems and regularly go for ice cream, Jumbo, spend time at my husbands families house etc... We attend Toros games and are careful when leaving to keep the boys close but that is more to make sure they don't get run over. The suggestion not to wear jewellery is a good one and have had that suggestion made by friends of mine in Santo Domingo. Sounds like you parents place is right in the centre of the city we aren't too far away in romana del oeste. You'll be fine, I'm assuming you have some spanish so can get along if you need help.
When are you heading down? We go down in August for 3 weeks.
