Hi, I'm planning to stay few days in Santiago in March.
Can you please tell me if Hotels PLATINO and GRAN ALMIRANTE are girl friendly?
Thanks in advance, I'll make report on these hotels as usual.

Posts: 2116There is a certain benefit, I am discovering, in having a girl. They are unbelievably compliant and that per se, is a pleasure. I have been having people like the one in the photo, give me a good massage after the act. One even took care of my longish pubic hair, cropping it with a unheard of patience and a smile.
Long live youth, and that of the island of Hispaniola.

Posts: 74Aeropuerto Cibao
I was at the airport yesterday evening to pick up my boy returning from New York. I asked about taxi fare and $20 is about right. I'm retired military so have traveled overseas a lot in 27 years and never go into another country without local currency. Once here you learn where to get the best exchange rate. I know that currency booths at Miami are outrageously pricey plus the fee. My wife tells me Popular is essentially a national bank and you can exchange dollars without an account while here. And the rate there is actually decent. At 47 pesos per dollar yesterday.
That makes $20 US equal to about 950 pesos today. Last week was 900. That means that they would take a local Dominican for 900 knowing full well that if they ask for too much the customer walks. It all depends how much of a rush your in.
When you clear thru customs and exit with your bags you will see the exit area is blocked off and only passengers are allowed inside. And there are usually one or two plainclothes cops. Except they sport their sidearm for all to see] There is one exception to this rule. Taxi drivers will stand inside with little signs announcing they have a taxi. Who do they know?
Frannie is spot on about finding girls there. Arriving and departing is a family thing and individuals are rarely alone.

Thanks for the insight! I'm more confident in what to expect now. Is the airport waiting area crawling with 'hungry' chicas looking for action like in Santo Domingo and POP?

I'm an American expat retired military living here w / a Dominican wife. We travel through STI often and find you can really be taken advantage of at the Aeropuerto Cibao. Once you clear through customs you'll see lots of drivers holding up Taxi signs, each with a different price for where you want to go. Be aware that those who hang at the airport are part of a pretty strong union and will jack prices up. My personal experience because I live here is to use a driver I know who will meet me at the airport at a given time and charges the same to come to the airport and return to the city. I never pay more than 700RD and would suggest taxi negotiations always be in pesos. We live on the airport side of town and service from the house to the Metro station a half block from the Caribe station would be an additional 150RD. Today's exchange rate for dollars to pesos for $20 US is 930 pesos. An offer of 1000RD is a good offer. If someone wants more and you decline, and another driver hears you decline, they will compete very quickly by dropping rate.
Consider a Uber account while you are here. Nice cars, much, much less cost and a direct bill as dollars to your credit card account.
Enjoy your trip to the Cibao. It's been really cool here the last few nights and downright enjoyable.

Posts: 1026Caribe Tours near STI
Fellow deviants,
I'm flying into STI for President's Day weekend. Bound for Sosua. Can anyone give me info on getting to the nearest Caribe Tours bus station? Is there a Station at the airport? How far away is it? How much should I pay for a taxi ride there? Anyone with experience pulling girls on the bus ride? I'll be riding on Thursday afternoon so I imagine it'll be full of chicas!
Thanks in advance.
Rodeo.

Since you don't speak Spanish, but you work in Haiti, you might consider looking for Haitian women in the DR, of whom there are many. Even knowing a small amount of Haitian Kreyol, which presumably you do, will be a huge help in striking up a conversation and getting things off on the right foot.
