Leave DNA sample and dental records with somebody before you depart. Many times ID difficult after accidents.

Leave bail money with somebody you trust. Also be sure to carry a cell phone loaded with plenty of minutes. If you have an accident, you WILL go to jail.

Otherwise, have an enjoyable trip.

maybe we can combine this thread and the top 5 gringo phrases

how do you say in spanish:

wipe that greedy look of your face and tell me how the hell to get to santo Domingo, and while your at it tell me where I can pop one of those hot young brown skins, dying for some vanilla ice cream, on the way

Its complicated to get there from so far away.
I will give it a shot. Take a right turn as you leave from costambar on to main highway. Now you wait and wait, until a metro bus comes along. Follow that bus to santiago. Now you wait on metro stop and wait for the bus to leave for santo domingo. Now follow that bus to santo domingo. Once in santo domingo, ask anyone where malecon is and then go there and drive up and won until you see the hotel.

remember AZB...not everyone is up to driving as fast as those big bus drivers drive..........even a crazy wild eyed gringo like me had trouble keeping up with a few of them.

I have talked to this gentleman and I think he will be using public trnsportation.

At least I hope he will.

I just talked to a friend and it took him an hour to get from Clinica Abreu to the highway Duarte by way of Malecon, Avenida Luperon......infreakin' terrible!

Típico Bonao is less than half way to the north coast, but at least you know the bathrooms will be clean.
