Our first trip was 2006', I thought "I need a vacation", we had traveled to Cuba, All over Mexico, Hawaii, Europe and then DR..I don't think I will ever revisit those spots again, DR we fell in love with, the first couple trips were many tours, having two teenage girls with me (16&18), they did everything-quads,dolphins,parks,sailing,catamarans,parasailin g,Saona Island,Catalina Island,dune buggies,jeep safari,sharks...it just goes on and on!! And every single excursion was an adventure.

Now that we've done all of that, I want to enjoy the Island and it's people, I would like to get away from the resorts and rent a condo, however I feel really safe in a resort, and I know the girls are safe in the resort as well, so I just have to familiarize myself some more with the surroundings. I should note, I have never felt unsafe at any given time even walking out of the resort.

We would really like to go to Santo Domingo and San Pedro for a couple of days!! would it be wise for 3 girls to venture out on such a trip? or is a guide recommended?

I clicked "other", maybe I should have selected "word of mouth". Whatever. I think it was Dominicans abroad (back in Europe) that started my awareness about the country, the people and the culture(s). Word of mouth? Maybe more than that...

Years ago I had a job in a restaurant with a few Dominican co-workers.

My first trip was in 1996, I got married to a fellow Brit in a swanky hotel in Playa Dorada. Subsequently, I fell out of love with him and totally in love with the Dominican Republic! It has lasted 12 years and shows no signs of wearing off!!!

I married my DR wife in 2005, visited the DR for the first time in 2006 (Sánchez Ramírez) and fell in love with the country and its people right away.

My son has fallen in love with cabrara in the dominican republic - now hes got me planning a trip there. I've been to cabrera at least a million times on google earth. I would like to locate some better road maps (dirt) included so I can plan my route for my two week trip in October. I'll be traveling down east from Cabrera onto the paninsular of Samana- Could really use a detailed map - Thanks Penelope
