Hi Member #2128!

You said to fly into SD and fly back home out of POP. I would like to know if there are extra charges for flying out from a different airport. Please let me know. Thanks

Hey Papi,

There are not always additional charges. I just plugged in some dates on www.aa.com and got a round-trip price from JFK to SDQ of $416 and a round-trip price from JFK to SDQ and returning from POP for $406.

The recommendation I would make would be to skip BC on the south coast and spend your entire trip in SDQ. Quality is much better, and you'll have the opportunity to make love to beautiful women in 1st class accomodations.

Something you can't do in BC.

However, I am speaking from the perspective of having traveled to SDQ for many years now, never having been a big fan of BC and for the most part - being fluent in Spanish. That might effect your decision. #2128 is correct, w/o solid Spanish ability you will find yourself handicapped everywhere in the Dominican Republic.

cheers................

Hey Rickster,

Be a sport. On your first trip go to both---north and south!

Fly into SD in the south. Spend a day or two getting your "feet" wet. Hop over to BC in 30 minutes. Spend a day or two. Then take the 3-4 hour ride north on an air-conditioned bus to Sosua and spend a few days there. Then fly back home out of POP. There's your week.

If you have less than a week, IMHO go to the north for a quickie. These days, there's more bang for your buck there, at least from my recent experiences in all three places. Also, as everyone will tell you, not speaking ANY Spanish is going to limit you wherever you go!

The Dominicanas are pure sweethearts, except for those (30-50%) who aren't, and will ask you for more money than you agreed upon and not let it go, or pester you for $$$ every time they see you. In my experience of several weeks, it never got much worse than that.

Have a good time!

Ok guys,

I was about to book a flight AA--from Chicago to SDQ airport to travel beginnning of Nov. 2006 for about $390.00 (including taxes) from priceline pre-London airport terrorist plot (about August 6th). I didn't reserve because was looking at other deals. Now I go today to priceline same flight is $465.00--YIKES--help me guys, I know its only 75 dollars difference but that could be used for an extra day of fun--so for all you seasoned travelers to SD tell should I book now or wait about a month-- dont know how to judge the effects of this terrorist crap, I dont know when is High/Low season in the Caribbean but I am guessing High season ends about end Aug/early Sep.--please help--I have time on my side--exptected travel is beginning of Nov--and DEFINITELY b4 Thanksgiving--Thanks a bunch guys. Cant wait for Boca Chica.

What exactly do you mean High season? You mean high priced season? Prices are highest in el invierno (the winter). Best deals can be found in the caribbean in the summer May to September because its "beastly" hot down there and pleasant up in Chicago and NYC.

Try www.aa.com. Don't just rely on Priceline or Travelocity, all these websites are competing for discount airfares, they don't always have the same prices. Even for the same flight/same seat.

I just got a price on aa.com for $440 from Chicago to SDQ flying down on 11/6 and returning 11/13.

cheers.................

Go to several websites like expedia and compare which airlines is offering the best deals, then go to the airlines website to finalize the deal. The prices always are lower after labor to about Dec. 14th (skipping Thanksgiving of course)

I promise to leave my own report (after having read all yours) when I get back. If I had a Digi, I'd bring back some photos too. Aw well.

Eventually as I get older, I'll start bringing them in (I love this forum! Don't ever change!).

The population of Sosua is 12,000 residents.

Everything else Mister has "dead on".

In my book, he is the authority on everything related to Sosua on this board!

Happy to see you're still a regular contributor, Mister NYC!

cheers..............

[Therickster]

Thanks to you guys for the advice. I have now booked my flight to DR and will arrive on 24th Aug. I'm heading for Boca Chica to start with and then might move on from there dependant on how I get on.

If anyone fancies a beer and a chat please let me know.

fabien,

i'm happy for you that you are taking this special trip to sosua and the promise land. good for you!

now to help answer some of your questions:
1. in sosua, try walking the beaches and/or sitting at one of the bars/restaurants along the beach to chica watch around 2pm daily. call the chica of your liking over and talk it up. also hit the bars all along pedro clisante, the main drag, while in sosua. four roses and plaza allegria are my favorite spots. do the same as on the beach.

2. the pay off: some have this strict rule of paying no more than 1,000-1,500 pesos for short time and 1,500-2,000 pesos for tln. use your own judgement on this one. this is just a rough and general guideline. if you think the chica is worth the 2,500+ pesos for tln, then go for it! just make sure to have everything cleared up before taking her back with you. for example, how many pops, length of time, what's included, picture taking, etc.

3. better off exchanging your euros to pesos while in town. you can do this at any of the banks but you have to wait in line and will need your passport or you can change money at the local exchange houses or on the street. just be aware of what the going rate is for the euro so you dont get ripped off anywhere.

4. how many people live in sosua? i'd guess 1,000-5,000. i don't know. next one. it is a tourist town though where 90% of the business are all owned by canadians, germans, etc.

5. yes, the ratio is easily 25 to 1, however, of these 25, how many would you actually like to spend time with is the real important question!

6. chicas sometimes get turned off by [CodeWord101], you talking to every girl that passes by or when you look at other girls when she is already sitting with you, etc. some dont like you to video them or take photos of them either. better ask before hand to avoid any drama. some also hate it when you take longer than expected. again, make sure you specify length of time, what's included, etc., prior to taking her with you!

7. yes, at her place or at a nearby short term hotel. one is called calypso. you may also decide to rent a cheap room in town just for this as well.

8. tips for hunting: yes, read above and in my posted link below.

9. bring your own condoms down. you can also buy durex condoms in the pharmacies and some small grocery stores in town. a 3 pack is 80 pesos.

i'm coming to sosua soon and i could use some tips such as where to find a good variety of chicas(street names would be great). i'd also love to know how much i should look forward to paying. i'm 18, have ok looks, speak fluent spanish. it would also be great if i could get into contact with other mongers while i'm there. some more questions:

can you pay in euros?

how many ppl live in sosua exactly?

are there enough girls there per customers to go around? (supply and demand determines price lol)

what are the typical turn-ons and turn-offs of the girls there(apart from the money paid)?

is it possible to have toda la noche outside of the hotel i'm staying in?

any tips on finding them at the beach or in bars?

are preservatives easy to find? is there a high infection rate for stds?

thanks in advance for any advice given.

Thanks for all your input and help in my recent trip down to the Dominican Republic. I enjoyed myself immensely and since I only visited chica's in La Romano, I'll publish my story in that thread.

Again thanks for everything, I met a lot of very nice people in DR and look forward to the next trip.

First off, Leonel appears to be serious about the crackdown on crime, thereby shutting discos earlier in the night.

There is action outside of your resort in Punta Cana, any cab driver, sankie, or whoever can point you towards putas from Higuey, La Romana, & Bavaro. Boca Chica is a far enough trip just for One Day, but there is a bus that can take you all the way towards Boca Chica & the Capital, but you better you reserve a room in BC if you make the journey.

Forget about travelling to Sosua, its too far from Punta Cana, not worth it if you are going up there to just get laid. Don't rent a car!!! If you get into an accident and can't "speaki spanish" you are guilty and they will detain you until its settled out, trust me!! You are a gringo, so you will always be guillty. Stay in the Punta Cana, remember that most of the putas from Boca Chica are actually from San Pedro, Hato Mayor, La Romana and Bavaro areas.

Enjoy
