So you are sitting around reading these posts for nearly 3 years, or thats when I started to write them. You decide to log on to AA.com or Travelocity.com or Orbitz.com. All great choices really. The airport is Puerto Plata (POP). There are direct flights from New York, Boston and Miami.

Arrival
Grab a taxi, they all will try to rip you off. It should be around $13-$15 to the hotel. It takes 10 minutes to get over to the hotels in Sosua. You can convert some money in the airport but the rates are similiar to what you get in town.

The Hotels
My main selection is The Sosua Palace, ($45) followed by The Europa ($32), then The Voramar ($30) and One Ocean Place ($30).
Most other hotels are not guest friendly at all. Feel free to find out for yourself.

Changing money
Judys is the highest but there must be 50 places to get pesos. Most supermarkets change money. The Europa Hotel also changes money and is open 24 hours to do it.

Banks
There are about 6 in Sosua alone and they all have ATMs.

Getting chicas
They are everywhere, bars, clubs and the beach area.

Clubs
There are about 2 dozen small bars in Sosua and The High Caribe Disco. Take the nightly run to Puerto Plata, only $21 per taxi load. There is a new disco in town, The Latina Club.

Restaurants
There must be 50 of them. My usual breakfast spots are Mora Mai, The Europa, PJ's and Miami Bistro.
Bolgna is great for dinner, just sit around the bar area. The Atlantic Blue and Mora Mai are very good as well.

Casinos
There are 2 located in Player Dorado Resorts complex. There is one located in Sosua near The Voramar. Try your luck!

Nearby towns
Caberete, make a left out of Sosua and go 10 minutes. A great little beach town with alot of restaurants. Casa de Equipo is located here as well.

Puerto Plata, make a right out of Sosua and go 25 minutes. Crystals, El Boem, Mountaiview and a few others are found here.


Daily routine
Wake up, bang the chica from the night before, knock on some doors(If you are in The Palace ), get some breakfast buddies, go with or with out the chica. Lay around the pool area, swap stories, maybe meet one of the chicas fom a previous night, or walk around the town, maybe even going down to the beach. Get a 300 peso massage at one of the local places, get a nice Ice Cold Cappacino at the Bolgna Bar.

Jimmy, you say that it is safe in the North, which I am happy to hear. But most straight tourist guides say it is a scary country, crime wise. How else would they get you to use them? I admit to being nervous the two times I was there. And the security at the tourist hotels I was at Casa de Campo in La Romana,first trip, and Jack Tar in Puerto plata,second trip, had so many security guards that after my first trip I wasn't going to go back. Security is cheap thats why there are so many there.

But it is abeautiful country and so cheap. And it has some great retaurants and beaches too. So I will continue to revisit.

But most islands I have been on feature steel bars on windows and doors.

So how safe can it be? If I am out cruising at night?
