Mountain Road between Santiago and Sosua by ChristieE

If someone you all know and love has some motion sickness issues 馃槈馃槈 should the mountain road even be attempted? Hubby "wants to see how much quicker" it is. Hubby also remembers getting sick on said mountain road as a ...

Marie Golak

I don't think motion sickness should be too much of the problem... Just make sure to have good shocks on the car, drive slow as you will encounter animals on the road, narrow roads and hairpin turns. If you have a fear of heights, prepare to ... Read More

ferry from florida to the DR? by MGarrison

Are there any ferry boats from Florida to the DR that we can take? We are looking for all kinds of ideas. If they do Ferry, it could be a semi painless way for us to permanently move to the DR. We have less than 3 years!! Cannot wait... we will be ...

Marie Golak

I read the ferry from Santa Domingo to San Juan is 12 hours. It's an overnight ferry. Leaves in the evening and arrives there in morning. I believe you can gamble and drink on board all night. Read More
