Default My recent trip to D.R.

Just got back Saturday (25th May) from a two week stay at Paradise Beach Club. To summarize my trip - Casino was a big rip, Disco was "crawling" with Sankies, had my very first "cat fight" , didn't get my wake-up call Saturday - almost missed my flight....other than that:

Had a great time and would definitely go again!

Default To Bugsey

I only stated the negatives to make a point of, after all the low points of my trip, I had an excellent time!

As a true Canadian I even got to watch plenty of playoff hockey at Hemingways....

Go Leafs Go, "a?"!!!!

Also noted a lot (overstated since its low travel season) of Americans on my last week there (mostly from NY) and Canucks.

Definitely would not travel sola next time....I lost count how many D.R. men have asked me: "Are you alone? Can I take you to Puerto Plata? Ride my scooter?"

I declined - but should I have???

Sankies are sort of like gigolos, male escorts would be a polite way to put it.They are quite prepared to spend your vacation money on clothes jewelry, meals etc. in exchange for the thrill? of having sex with them. Often bisexual they are quite prepared to promise you eternal love and they will wait for you until you return. That promise usually broken upon arrival of the next flight.
