I know that isn't the case when it is during a huricane...but you know what I mean.....I plan on packing little for us and lots for others....Good luck to all

I agree totally. I am going to be happy to just sit back and enjoy the time I have there. I too am packing clothes to donate. I have gone through two hurricanes this year and have seen the devastation they cause. I figure that God has given it to me so I can give to others.

Gabriel Riera, director of sales of Sunscape Punta Cana Grand says the hotel never closed and is working normally.


You may contact him directly at griera@sunscapepuntacana.com.do for more details.

Also, you may post how your vacation goes, once you get back, or even from Punta Cana to let other dr1 readers know.

Bobbie,
When are your travel dates? What resort? We were to leave this Friday but since we were cancelled...we re-booked for the 15th. Might have been better to be later.....but did not fit our work schedules.
Good Luck to you! - Kathy D.

Default Bavaro Punta Cana Weather

The weather yesterday and today have been a relief from <<<<<
There were beautiful sunrises. Temperatures in the middle eightys F and high twenties C. The humidity remains high as a result of everything being saturated. It will take a while for it all to burn off.

Yesterday we did have some unwelcome showers around midday.



Resorts are getting back into business. PJT saw the sun worshippers on the beach yesterday. A good sign.


Taking it all in stride.

Regards,
PJT

We're also going to the Riu Oct 1 - 8. Had to cancel our original 9-20 date. From everything I've read, the Riu's are in good shape and I look forward to vacation - finally. Which Riu are you going to?
