Transportation from Santiago Airport to Kite Beach by jmdconsult

Hey guys, Can anyone recommend an inexpensive option for traveling from Santiago airport to Kite Beach? I am flying in tonight. Round trip rental car isn't really feasible. One way rental too expensive. Best option I've found so far is a ...

jmdconsult

Thanks Tink! I was originally thinking I could have just rented a car for cheap but didn't realize they jack up the prices for one way rentals. I wanted to drop the vehicle off at the POP airport but that was ridiculously expensive. I will ... Read More

Still a ways to go... by Mickie

Hola!! My name is Michele and I am unofficially engaged to a wonderful Dominican man that I met through work about 2.5 years ago. We had a rocky start and about 8 months apart after I broke it off after 6 months, typical dating b.s., but as of ...

Tinker, the philosopher...could not have put it better myself! Mickie, there is no time like the present. Life has a tendency to pass us before our very eyes and if we are not careful, we end up in our final days regretting what we should have, ... Read More

Alternative Travel from US to DR with a Dog by jmdconsult

Hey guys, I have heard the horrific stories of dogs dying on airplanes and since my DR adventure will begin sometime during the last week of July, I wanted to get your thoughts on the possibility of traveling from Florida by ship or privately owned ...

jmdconsult

Hey Tinker! I've already signed up for "Findacrew.net" so I'm definitely game for working and paying my own way. If you know of any other specific options I could contact directly, I'd be happy to hear about them. Looking ... Read More

jmdconsult

Hey Planner, Yes, my dog, although still a puppy (5 months old) is 40 pounds. Most of the airlines have limits of 20 pounds to carry on the plane unfortunately. I've been looking at some cruise ships as well but the cost, in most cases, is ... Read More

Room mates by Jergens

Where can I find room mates in the DR. I am thinking of renting a place but want a room mate or two.

jmdconsult

Tinker, this is a villa (single family home as we call it in the states...lol) with complete privacy. There are only about 18 homes in the neighborhood of this gated/secured 24x7 community. If you still think 2k/mo is too much for this place, let ... Read More

Lol...it's quite large...7500 sq ft. I figured I may not ever have an opportunity to do this again so go big or don't go. Regardless, it will be comfortable for the time I'm there. :-) Read More

jmdconsult

The rooms would be around $650/month and that should cover all utilities as well. I will be there for 12 months so that's about as long term as I can go. I will also entertain short term so if someone only needs a place to stay for a month or ... Read More

And yes, there are 4.5 bathrooms and full use of the kitchen...treat it like it's your own place. Clean up after yourself, be respectful, have a good attitude and be genuine! Not looking for drama by any means. But you get bonus points if you ... Read More
