March composing dead person to sexual disease past Italian village????

Whoa!!

Sosúa to Santo Domingo, via Cabarete....That was funny...

You driving? About 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of another but with the road condition on the Luperón Highway, I would say that the highway through Jamao down into Moca would be fastest....If you want, a lot of people are suggesting going east and south to the new toll road that gets you east of Santo Domingo and costs something around ???500 pesos in tolls??

Me? I'd go through Jamao to Moca...

Actually from Sosua it is quicker to head west out of town go through Puerto Plata (and if you know how use the malacon instead of the main highway through town) then on to Navarette and on to Santiago. Total time with out killing your self is about one hour and 20 - 30 min. Going through Moca is a prettier way but will take you 1 hour and 40 min (we just went this way Thursday).

Going from Cabarete it is a toss up.

You didn't mention whether the least stressful way was of importance to you but, if it is, I would definitely recommend travelling East to Nagua and down the new toll road and timewise about the same once you get to Sabaneta. You will experience quite a lot of potholes in the road between Gasper Hernandez and Nagua but it is a pretty route with far less traffic than the other routes. Toll road is finished and pretty smooth and fast despite being single carriageway but, again, very light traffic.

Bob normally this might be true but with the construction between Navarette and Santiago you could be held up for a half hour somedays.I usually go thru Jamao and Moca when heading into the Capital, but if I am going Sosua to the Airport(Las Americas) I travel on the new Highway east of Nagua.

Good ole Sousa, he must be tooting his tuba in his grave. yeah, I agree, the cumbre past Jamao Al Norte, down the other side, left, then stright into Moca. Up the hill, right at the light near the prison and go through town. Newly paved road to the Auto Pista. under the bridge, left onto the Auto Pista and follw that into Santo Domingo. The toll road is nice if you want to drive all the way to Nagua and pay about 500 RDP.
