Hola,
my name is Robert When I landed at the airport, after
clearing customs, paying $10.00 tourist card fee,
getting my passport stamped and picking up my luggage, Diego was waiting
outside to pick me up.
I flew into Puerto Plata (POP), so it was only a short 15 minute ride to
Sosua.
| |
Diego took me to my
hotel and dropped me off for the evening. I stayed at a Hotel
in Sosua Diego recommended and uses for all of his Visitors, very
nice accommodations with air conditioning and the ladies who worked
the bar were very nice too. I really enjoyed my time their,
the hotel is managed well and I had no problems during my stay.
There is another hotel in Sosua where I stayed a couple nights,,
this was nice as well and both are very affordable ($70.00 per
night). Prior to my visit I made no prearrangements with any
of the ladies on Latin Affairs website. Instead, I relied on
Diego introduction services to help find the women that was right
for me.

The next day, Diego and
I went to Santiago. While in Santiago we met up with Jose; he
helps Diego with setting up introductions and finding ladies for his
website. They introduced me to Nathaly 259, Yariza 205,
Glennis 291, and Marilu 305, just to name a few. However, I
met many more ladies. Anyway, after meeting about a dozen
ladies in Santiago I decided Marilu was the one that I had more in
common with and asked here to come to Sosua the next weekend.
She agreed and I gave her some money for bus fare, about 300 pesos
for her and her children to come visit me. That Saturday, I
picked up Marilu at the bus stop (Caribe Tours) in Sosua, too my
surprise she did not bring her kids. |

We had a great time
getting to know each other, went to dinner that evening and to the
beach the next day. Marilu does not speak any English and
well, I speak very little Spanish. So, our conversations were very
slow and short at first. But, with the help of my
Spanish/English dictionary, electronic translator and my computer
with "Instant Immersion Translator Deluxe" software, we were able to
communicate on almost any topic. I had a great time with
Marilu, her visit was short (24 hours) because she needed to get
back to work on Monday. I couldn't wait to see her again.
Tuesday, Diego was going back to Santiago, so I caught a ride with
him. I spent two more days in Santiago; during the day (While
Marilu was at work) I toured the city with Jose, I met Marilu's
parents and nine brothers and sisters (good family) and spent two
wonderful engaging evenings with her. To get around the city of
Santiago most people use the "Caro Publico", that is a taxi service
that usually drives a standard route through town, stopping along
the way to pick up and drop off passengers, the car is usually full
of people and don't be surprised if some "Dominican Senorita" has to
sit in your lap along the way

Around Sunday, I was
starting to miss Marilu again. I picked up Marilu from the bus stop
in Sosua again. She was able to get one week of vacation time
to come see me. It was great to be able to spend more time
with her. We spent the next four days shopping, going to the
beach and getting to know each other better. The bill for
dinner that night was around 1000 pesos with drinks. She is a
wonderful, attentive, honest, caring and affectionate women;
most Dominican women are. Thursday Marilu went back to to be
with her family and two daughters, before she left we made plans for
the following day. The next day I returned to Santiago and
this time she was waiting for me at the bus terminal. The bus
fare from Sosua to Santiago was only 80 pesos or $2.85 US; not much
for a two hour air conditioned bus ride. We hung out with here
family for a few hours before me, Marilu and her two daughters left
for Santo Domingo to see her sister |

The bus ride (Metro
Tours) was only about two and half hours, I think I paid about 800
pesos, round trip, for the four of us. The city of Santo
Domingo is much larger than any of the other cities in the Dominican
Republic and is a beautiful city with modern infrastructure and
buildings. We arrived late and only stayed one day.
Saturday we took the kids to the beach, living so far from the
beach, this was a real treat for the kids. The beaches near
Boca Chica are only about a 30 minute drive from Santo Domingo past
Las Americas Airport. The beaches were nice, the women were
hot and the beer was cold. I had fun, but it was time to head back
to Florida. If you are considering the DR for your next
vacation or destination in search for that someone special, you
can't go wrong here in the DR. |
