Default Just got back from DR

I just got back from my trip to DR, stayed at Maison Gautreaux in Santo Domingo, nice hotel, very friendly staff, and very safe area, I rented an SUV from La Frontera Rent Car a Mitsubishi Nativa for 4 days @ $60 USD per day, I did a LOT of driving in DR, went to Sosua Beach, Cofresi (Ocean World), Santiago had some frias at the monumento, went to Camp David restaurant with my Santiaguera novia.

Will Post more details later....

Default DR travel

You seem like you knew where you wanted to go. You expierienced alot of different locations. I also toured around the country, we (my dominican friend and I) started the south coast BC, Punta Cana. Then headed to the cities SD and Santiago. Of course we spent some time on the North Coast, POP, Sosua, Caberate. Then I just had to see Las Teranas, and Samana! Was a three hour drive to Samana, it was nice there but I have the most fun on the North coast, like my friend Rocky told me once!!

Tallman: So you liked the Maison Gautreaux? - for that price, you just can't beat it! - By the way, did you see the Crazy American Guest who is staying there on the 1st floor? - He is the skinny black guy with the glasses on his nose who smoke tons and tons of cigarettes and talks loud and most times, to himself? - - -
