Not sure when is the last time you rented a car in the DR or what company you usually use. I always rent through AVIS and Alamo, they both let me use my debit card but I think they put like a 500 dollar hold on the card. But you are right about getting overcharged for shit that you don't need and got to have a few pesos for them corrupt once they realize you are gringos. Last time on my way to the airport, two cops stopped me trying to shake me down, they accused me of running a yellow light. They said they were going to give me a ticket, I told them go ahead write the ticket, then one of them told " well if we give you a ticket, you have to drive back downtown right to pay and that would cause you to miss your flight, second option is to pay us now ". I told them, I like the first option. They got mad, they threw my licence and rental agreement in the car and took LOL.

You are absolutely right about them charging $500 on a debit card. Another friend of mine said he was able to use his debit card and that's what they charged him. Also you are obviously very well traveled or smart enough to understand the DR culture. It is very common for the police to shake foreigners down. However if you're not aware of this you cannot handle the situation properly.

One of my friends was just walking and minding his business in Boca Chica. This was his third time coming. Two police officers came up on them and asked him where he was going. When they realize how green he was they directed him to get on the back of a police moto. My friend was nervous, scared, and compliant. They drove him for the down the road and begin shaking him down. All he had was 2500 pesos in his pocket. They took all of it. The only thing that saved him was an Italian business owner that owned the restaurant where my friend frequented. He saw the whole thing and came to my friends defense. He actually made the police officers give some of the money back.

Is there a bar or bars that you guys hang out at or use as place to rendezvous? Kind of like a clubhouse everyone passes through?

[DoubleDouble]

He would have been broke or worse. 22 years old, solo, and no speaking Spanish. Not a good recipe. Only thing missing is if he has blond hair, LOL. I envision the lion cub in Africa separated from the pride and encircled by the pack of hyenas, all of them taking a bite. At least he told you he was leaving and not called you and said he was there. Good teaching moment for the next lesson. "do you remember the time you were going to go to DR by yourself and."

[Sawassdee]

I remember in Cuba seeing Mr. E travel with his pops. Imagine the memories they share together. I could not let anyone besides myself rob me of that memory And historical event.

The way it should be!

I wonder what would have happened if you had let your son go half cocked with 600 in his pocket. He would have had issues but I think he would have had the time of his life. I think he would have adapted and been taken care of by his new Dominican friends. We learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Your boy would had some stories to tell.

True that Kool and great stories indeed.

Me personally, I can think of no greater surviving story than having Dad not just put his boy up on real life game, but showing him how it is done at an early age. Not many boys will get this chance.

Gman is doing a series of masterclasses (shit everyman needs to learn) in the form of a 1st vacay.

World exploration, universal truths behind the different motivations of the opposite sex, how to handle relationships so that you benefit as well, business tactics, expectations and accountability for both sexes, bonding and brotherhood, handling your own finances etc. A damn useful under taught education.

I think the stories that come next will be even more hilarious and less SMH with this early learning exposure.

Kudos again Gman. Most fathers leave their boys to the she-wolves in fear Mama or society finding out he won't be so easily used.

I think within a day or two my son would have been out of money. I think it would've been a fiasco. First of all they would have overcharged him in the airport for a car. Gogo and Mr. E are vets and they catch hell because the Dominican's are always trying to get over charging extra for shit you don't need. In America you just pay the price however in the DR they take advantage of you. That's an easy $70 a day. (paid $77 my first time seven years ago) 5 days is $350.

Now you have a car you don't even know how to get out the airport and you're on very unfamiliar terrain. Imagine trying using your GPS to navigate through the traffic of the DR during rush hour. Olkool you yourself would not dare drive through the traffic. Also, his debt card was not activated for the Dominican of republic. It didn't matter they don't take debt cards anyway. You must have a credit card and they immediately take $200 off it for a security deposit. Let's talk about the hotel. If he ever made it there. He reserve a room through Priceline. The room was $55 a day. For five days $275 dollars. They want all of the money upfront.

Of course once he gets to the hotel they're going to charge him Taxes. Him being green he doesn't know they're trying to get over. He doesn't know the exchange rate and he's carrying dollars in his pocket. Then its the chica he supposed to meet. Her mother speaks English and was going to cook for them. I wonder who was going to buy the food? Not knowing any Spanish when you finally see someone that speaks English you literally give your trust to them. They're going to spend at least $150 in the Ole.

A little personal information about me. I've had full custody of my oldest son since he was two years old. His mother dropped out the picture and I didn't give a fuck. I had custody of my son and that's all that mattered to me. He and I have been together from day one. I got him his first piece of ass. I helped him get job at my place of employment. When he decided to step off the porch and do his own thing with his girlfriend, I showed my support. I wasn't ready for him to leave our home but he was grown. He always has a room in his pops home and he knows it. Though he sometimes doesn't talk to me about crucial life decisions; we still have a strong bond.
During the time I started going to the DR he was in high school. When he got old enough to go with me he was in a committed relationship and comfortable. I shared my stories with him but I never push the issue of him travel with me. To be honest I was preparing my 20-year-old to come with me until they stop issuing out passports.

When he goes out to get something to eat guess who's going to be with them. Her and her mother. The mother will be interpreting for the both of them so she needs to accompany them. Another mouth to feed on a small budget. He hasn't even paid for the Sex yet. Knowing that he's going to be stuck with this girl. He does not know how to go out and find his own chicas. No does he know the going rate for P4 P. Yep I saw a complete fiasco unfolding. I didn't take into accountability the hyenas that he meets along the way.

I foreseen him the middle of SD with his iPhone in the red. I seen him saying pops just get me the fuck out of here.

However I had many alternatives. Gogo just happen to be arriving there the same day. There are only a few people in the world besides myself I would have been comfortable with my son and he is one of them. I know Gogo would love it. He would have adopted my son in the airport. Gogo would have been honored breaking my son in of his first DR trip. I also knew I could have called Sub for a favor or many of my ex-pat friends to pick him up if needed.

But as cool as Gogo and I are, I had to be the first one to take him there. I remember in Cuba seeing Mr. E travel with his pops. Imagine the memories they share together. I could not let anyone besides myself rob me of that memory And historical event.

Monday. We woke up and started out with a little light workout. KJ has put on 100 pounds since he moved in with his girlfriend. I know that's a big issue in their relationship. He actually lost 10 pounds with me prior to coming. We hit the Barber shop and got fresh cuts. 400 pesos for both of us. I tipped 100 pesos.

As we walk the strip, A lot of people stared out of curiosity. They know me but my KJ was a new face. Many thought he was Dominican. He kept getting many KLKs from the Dominicanos. When the word got around he was my American son; chicas kept stopping him giving their WhatsApp info.

By this time KJ was laid-back. He had heard enough horror stories within the last 6 days from me. He decide to carry his money in his sock. All 1500 pesos. Earlier, we both exchange $400 however; we immediately took it to the room and put it in the safe. 1500 pesos is all you need to walk around with.

We chilled around some Boca Chica vets and ex-pats. All of them taking a little time to share wisdom with him. I felt like a father hippopotamus taking his son to the waterhole for the first time. Letting him interact with all the older hippopotamus that are happy to meet him.

One particular brother was a traveling man with a G on his chest. He came to tears saying if his father was alive he would have extended his life two more years just to come here. KJ took a liking to him. Listen to your pops and you are going to be straight.

His next lessons came from the Chicas. The ones that were very acquainted with me. They told him not to fuck with none of the chicas on the street. Some were showing him photos of other amigas they would like to introduce to him.

About 3 o'clock in the afternoon TrackStar and her friend came to visit. She walked in with a Chica I had maybe three years ago. Wow I had two sessions with her fat ass. Let's call her Cheeks. The track star didn't like the fact that we had been together. She's obviously her road dog. KJ didn't care. He saw the hips and ass and was ready. I was cool because I remembered cheeks was a solid 8.

When Cheeks saw KJ it was lust at first sight. I can tell she was happy to get such a handsome young man. She was ready to get him in the room.

They came out the room smiling like 2 teenagers. All she could say was "El Rico"! She couldn't stop hugging and rubbing on him. My track star was so jealous. I caught her looking out the corner of her eyes at her amiga. Looking at her friend like dammit I wanted to fuck him! * you owe me big time! Why did he have to be grown man's son. Body 7 session 8 1/2.

Later on that evening we went back on the block. Got him a Cuba libre and we chilled with the vets. One by one they took their turns sharing their experiences. And of course arguing with each other at the same time.

KJ was a sponge. He was used to listening to older guys interact.

About 6 PM Zion Williams came with her friend six pack. Six pack was a about 511 150 pounds. You can tell she was class like Zion. Nice outfit smelling good and real cool demeanor. When she saw KJ she looked at a girl and smiled. Zion told her he looked good. They actually love the fact that he couldn't speak Spanish. Hell they were Haitian anyway.

Didn't really hit me how much these Chicas like Young Americans. Six pack want to play all the American rap she knew on YouTube. She wanted to practice some of the latest dances with KJ. KJ knew them all and showed them a few moves. They shared their Snapchat and Instagram.

As they walk to the bedroom you would think he was going to give her $200 the way she smiled following him. I was waiting for a hair sale so Zion and I just took pictures and play pool. About 40 minutes later they came out the room. Six pack was in love. They obviously had perfect bedrooms chemistry.

My hair sale came through so now it's off to the room with Zion. KJ listen to how your daddy is going to lay down. We put on a performance in the bedroom. I know KJ was like damn that's my pops he likes to break the bed. When we came out they were gone. Apparently listening to us go out it resparked them. They were doing another session!

Man daddy my dick got hard listening to you and she wanted some more. Did you ask her or did she ask you, I asked. He responded I asked her. You may have to pay her twice. He said no she said 2000 was good for her. Kool. He gave her a 500 peso tip. She went to kissing him Passionately on his lips. Normally I'll be against that but Six pack was different. Body 8 1/2 session 8 1/2.

Time for the DR and I want to make a good example. Our flight was at 8:30. We left the house at 5:30 and arrived at the airport at 6:15. I showed KJ (son) the advantage of traveling light. A carry-on is all you need for five day getaway.

We arrive in Boca Chica and it's time for the block. KJ is 6 foot 280 pounds medium brown. He has a baby face and military style haircut with the hood style waves. He's not a small guy by any means however; he was getting stares at almost every chica he walked by. Many of the chicas thought that he was younger despite his size. It's not every day you find guys his age on the hunt in Boca Chica.

He was ready to go fuck the whole block. I had to calm him down. Look K there are levels to the chicas we deal with. Despite their enticement, most of the street chicas are not worth dealing with. They are a waste of time and money. He didn't care he was ready to hit something.

I had planned an Alley hoop from my rookie of the year Zion Williams. She was supposed to bring her girl to meet KJ. She arrived but her friend was still at work. I have been bragging to KJ about my headhunter. I called her up to set up an appointment.

She arrived with her Amiga. I did not tell you to bring anyone with you. She's trying to tell me she brought her friend for my son. I told her I wanted her for KJ. She wouldn't do it. She said no her girl will do him. I told her I had company over she said OK I'll see you later in left.

(Side note) when Zion saw headhunter you can immediately tell they didn't like each other. I was the glue that put them in the same company and they both were Haitians. Head Hunter was a Super street puta. You can tell it in her demeanor and how she dressed. Biker shorts tight on her ass showing her camel toe. Zion Williams was more classy. Every time she comes over she makes sure she has a nice outfit and is well groomed. Though she knows how to get to my apartment; she goes to a local store to have me come, meet her, and walk her to the apartment.

Meanwhile, HH friend a 22 year old Morena about 5'6 150 was doable for my son. He said he would have took in both of them at the same time. Slow down man start with one.

35 minutes later they both came out smiling. They loved each other. My son said she put it down and she said " El Rico". I asked him was he ready for another one. He looked at me grinning and said no pops I'm good! 1500 body 6 session 9. So he said.

Zion Williams came for me. Body eight session 8 1/2. After ZW left my TrackStar started calling my phone. The head Hunter told her I was in town. She came over piss because the head Hunter was over at my place before she was. I have to constantly remind her I don't have a girlfriend or a wife. Nor do I have time to deal with her jealous shit. Save that attitude for your Novio. She respects it when I don't give into her shit.

I saw KJ eyes zero in on her fat ass. Damn pop she got some cheeks, can I get her? Son under normal circumstances she would love it! I know she's saying To herself "I want to fuck him! Why the hell did he have to be grown man's son"? I can see it in her eyes. I teased her that my son wanted her. She smiled but said she can't do it. She wouldn't bite. However she doesn't want the head Hunter over and said I should have called her for a friend for my son. OK set it up for tomorrow. Meanwhile Body 9 session 9. 2200 and an outfit.

After returning home from the DR Friday, I went straight home and jumped in the bed. The time was about 11:30 PM. At about 6:45 AM the following morning; my oldest son entered the room. He's 22 and has been out the house for about 4 years. He came in brushing his teeth saying welcome back pops I thought you were still in the DR. I thought it was strange him being up so early when we don't have any work.

He said I'm about to go to the DR. You about to do what?! As my eyes focused on him I seen him with his Suitcase in his hand. He was dead serious. He said it was a last-minute decision and he had been talking to a girl online. Her mother speaks English is going to barbecue for them. He is going to meet them when he gets there.

I just talked to him 2 days prior to me leaving and he said nothing. I forgot he even had a passport. He got his passport in November 2019 with his live in girlfriend before they went to Mexico. How the hell do you plan on getting around I asked. I'm going to go to the Rent-A-Car place in the airport, then I'm going to use my GPS to get to my hotel. He said this to me while he was walking toward the front door with his suitcase. I stopped him.

He and his live in girlfriend from high schoolbroke up. She was his prom date. Their relationship has been rocky for the last 7 months. He says they haven't been having sex they just live together. He has started a tinder account and been video chatting through WhatsApp with chicas who seem very interested in meeting him.

I couldn't believe him until he showed me his ticket. Sure enough he purchased a one-way ticket. He said he was planning on calling me when he arrived. He didn't know I was coming back to the states.

At that moment I looked in his eyes. My first instinct was to go the fuck off. Are you mfing crazy! What a stupid and gullible decision you are making. Going to the DR by yourself and you don't speak any Spanish. You have about $600 in your pocket and your credit card that you have not activated for the DR. But then my father- player instincts kicked in. I didn't try to argue much but instead I try to reason with him.

My son and I have a good relationship. I don't tell him how to conduct his business and he doesn't ask me for any money. He's grown and can make his own decisions and he knows that. I know he's also hurt from his relationship with his living girlfriend. He has a lot of sexual frustration and he needs an outlet. I showed him I sympathized and I chose to compromise with him.

Son listen please do not feed yourself to those hyenas. You're setting yourself up for failure. I'm not saying you cannot go to the DR but you should not do it by yourself. What kind of father I would be to allow you to make such a careless decision. Listen son I know you're frustrated. I know you want to get away. Hell, I just got back myself and I extended a week. Just listen to your pops; if you wait and give me one week I will take you to the DR myself. But what about my ticket? Cancel it and I mean that.

So he and I go to canceling his ticket. First he bought his ticket through a third party and not through American Airlines. They're going to charge him $60 administration fees. Second his flight was at 8:30 AM. He was leaving the house at 6:50 AM. It's going to take him about 45 minutes to get to the airport and another 30 minutes to get his car parked and situated. He would have missed his flight anyway. Then he bought a one-way ticket thinking it was round-trip. He would have been lost had they asked him when was he returning. Finally, how dare he go to the DR without telling ME his pops and letting me take him there. He would actually rob me of the sensation of taking him over there. I keep telling him to use his cheat code. His father is his cheat code!

Its hard to be real with a male child as a father in a gynocentric society. We typically leave them to unnecessarily suffer many things needlessly on there own. So dope you had this opportunity to educate and share some life long lessons making this a milestone trip in his life.

Brother G, please share more about the trip. Looking forward to hearing it.

Enjoyed reading your story. Yes man show him the ropes so he does get taken advantage of.

Boca Chica tourist area is really small. You can walk around to all the spots in 5 minutes. The club is El Batey. There are other bars and restaurant on the street. You pretty much just walk around the street to meet people. Couple of hohouses in the area as well, but not on that street.

Thanks a lot!
