Here's the latest!!

Rocío and JJ nowhave a website: Welcome To Paradise Transportation

You can go there and make reservations and see what JJ looks like. I told Rocío that she should put up a picture of their little girl (Chrystal)....

For what it's worth: They quoted me a price of between XXX and XXX for a trip with a/c and good music to Punta Cana. the difference would be just here in Punta Cana the PAX is going.

Please send me a PM for the figures they quoted me or go and send an email to Rocío!!

they have a very nice a/c van that can handle 8 people very easily.....

Wow - thanks so much for all your suggestions. I will follow up with JJ directly. Can I impose on you for one more recommendation? We will need a hotel room at or near the Santiago airport. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am from Santiago. I did this in Dec of 2003.

From Santiago to Santo Domingo - Metro (leaves every hour starting at 6 am)

In Santo Domingo go to the parque de independencia and hop on a bus to Higuey. This bus also leaves on the hour. Once in Higuey I took a taxi to my hotel which was in Bavaro. Paid 1,500.

Hope that helps.

Am taking my first trip to DR. Any advice on airlines that fly from Punta Cana to Puerto Plata? We arrive in Punta Cana at noon and need to get to Puerto Plata where our accomadations are. My daughter is flying in from Lima to Santiago airport at midnight, will she have trouble getting a cab to Puerta Plata.? Thanks to anyone for help!

Wazoo: Sort of depends on when you are coming in.
You have the following options:
Marriott Courtyard, brand new, kinds expensive
Platino, less expensive, in town near things of interest
Aloha Sol, less expensive still, inthe center of town
Hotel Gran Almirante, very plush and near everything.
And, depending on when you are coming in there is the HB B&B which as most people know is perfect!!

Takeyour choice.

Thanks, Hillbilly! It would actually be for just one night - when we get back to Santiago from Punta Cana and have a flight out at 6 AM the next morning.

Hillbilly --

JJ is picking us up - thanks to you! Can you tell me how old their daughter, Chrystal, is? We'd like to bring a gift for her!

Thanks!
