A taxi ride to the Childrens International offices is 100 pesos. FTI.

That would be great! The Field Office for Children's International is making arrangements for a guide/translator to visit their facilities as well as planning the visit with the 2 kids. I have no idea what is involved with this but I've been told that I can arrange to take the family and the Children's International guide out for shopping/dining etc. It would be nice if I knew where to go for shopping/dining etc.

Hey I am going up to Puerto Plata in Dec. I got a hotel that is in cabarete and it supposed to be 20 minutes from the airport. However, the only flight I could get out is thur Sanitago, does anyone know of a reasonable safe service that will take me to the airport without breaking my wallet or getting my head broke P

You can grab a taxi after exiting the main terminal, which will take you direct to Cabarete in 1 hour and 15 minutes.(The route they take is absolutely beautiful, You'll love it)
The cost should be $80 or $90 US.
If you would like to have a cab waiting for you with a preferred driver, contact Bachata. DR1 Dominican Republic Forums
If you find it too expensive, you can grab a cab into Santiago, then take a Caribe Tours bus to Sosua, then another cab to Cabarete.
That would take you more than double the time, but it would save you $40 or $50.
Most people are a bit too tired and inconvenienced by the air travel getting here, to be willing to embark on the public transport adventure, just to save a few bux.

The way I read it is - hes flying OUT of the DR via Santiago airport and he is asking how to get to Santiago from Cabarete. NO?

You are correct.
Thank you for pointing that out.

In that case, the folks most recommended for transport out of Cabarete, are "Tourism" Taxi Sosua – Cabarete - Dominican Republic

Do you also have detailed directions from Santo Domingo Airport to Santiago? I will have a car at the airport.
