It took me a while but I learned that
[QUOTE=Johnik;1156918]But not in Barahona, as it turns out. After waiting in line for 20 mins in the Banco Popular, I was then told I had to go to another desk for which I waited another 15 mins. The girl at the desk spent another 20 mins on the phone to some senior authority, interrupted two or three times by friends who had dropped by for a chat. Finally she put the phone down and said,"No touristas!" I had planned a week down that coast but I had to return on the second day while I still had the money to do so.[/QUOTE]Using a debit card from a USA bank is the quickest and safest way to get money, other than having an account with a Dominican bank. Always take cash from a bank ATM. Once I got cash at a Texaco station ATM. A few days later money was drawn off my account. It was traced to a hacker in Utah?
Santo Domingo airport to Boca Chica
I will be in Boca Chica in about two weeks. Can anyone tell me the price of a cab from the SDQ Airport to Boca Chica? I am staying at the Costalunga and they do not supply transportation. Any telephone numbers or recommendations of a cab driver? I would appreciate it.
P. S-Jao-thank you for all your advice. You are direct and to the point. If we ever meet first drinks will be on me.
