Actually Ken, the more I think of it, it was not Caribe Tours. It was the other bus system. I remember asking for a ride over to Caribe Tours, and young Dib said I would like the other bus better. Now if I could remember the name of it this willall be cleared up.

Do you mean 700 pesos from Puerto Plata to Santiago airport? First of all, I find that amount to be very high. I pay 230 pesos from Santo Domingo to Samana, and second, no one has ever tried to sell me tickets for more than what they are supposed to sell for.
I agree with the others regarding the time of departure, I would leave by 9:00a.m. at the latest. There are lots of taxis right outside of the Caribe Tours terminal in Santo Domingo, but the traffic there can be chaotic.

Juniper, he means the taxi fare from Caribe Tours station in Santo Domingo to the Las Americas airport.

Probably not, since Metro is also a professional operation. There is another bus that goes from Sosua and Puerto Plata, but since I never take it, I can't think of the name, either.

She was going from Puerto Plata, so it would be on Javilla Tours.

Luggage
Are there any precautions to take when travelling with luggage?

Get off at every intermediate stop and be sure your luggage isn't unloaded.

Yes, that's it. I think it is more likely she was overcharged by them than either Caribe Tours or Metro
