I go to Punta Cana twice a year and have for the last 8 years. I've never had a problem, not even once did I feel scared or intimidated. The whole family, wife and 8/10 year old girls feels safe. We were seconds from buying a place and moving, if the exchange rate didn't suck so bad, I'd be writing this from my Punta Cana deck....
Quoted from lpeters82:I haven't been there for 20 plus years, but when I was there it was not the best area to explore off the beaten path. I have zero interest in going back.
20 years ago, it was a terrible place. Government changed, people changed. Its my favorite place in the world.
Quoted from lpeters82:You still have to be careful doing stuff like that though. Not saying you can't, but try go though someone reputable. I get off the beaten path quite a bit and have been robbed twice. Once wasn't exactly a robbery, but the guy made it pretty clear we needed to pay him a decent amount of money for his "tour" if we wanted to be shown the way back.
Totally agree, the thing is, where can you go that this "couldn't" happen?
We leave all our jewelry at home, put the girls in pony tails and baseball caps and I never bring excessive money with me. We always have caution on our minds but we are always happy and polite to the locals. We also learnt some Spanish, it helps alot.
Quoted from TheLaw:Yes i doubt there is one. DR airport probably too small for big ass planes, so you have to switch to smaller planes in Florida.
I fly direct everytime. Air Transat airbus 310-330. Worst company ever but its the best choice.
Quoted from MrBally:If we could have a time warp, I'd go with Northwest.
As a kid we used to fly Wardair to Hawaii every year. 2 level plane, super cool..
