Port-au-Prince

[QUOTE=Lorenzo]La Isla,

Excellent report; thank you for posting. The only thing I found surprising about your report was your statement that you felt perfectly safe all the time. [/QUOTE]
Like I said too, "I have travelled alot but swore I'd never go to PAP (haha)."

[QUOTE]So, just a couple of questions. 1) Did you go alone? BadBear2000 has cautioned several times against traveling to Haiti alone. Do you disagree with that? [/QUOTE]
I did go alone, but had arranged for others on the ground to meet me. I had a great time but it would have been very, very difficult if I did not have those connections. Hence, the idea to talk with those guys about escorting others in the future. In the end, its a couple of hundred bucks more but they are happy, I'm happy and Mr Happy is happy :)

[QUOTE] I have read that the greatest danger lies in coming in from the airport, and several travel writers caution against taking a taxi from the airport, recommending instead that you have someone who knows you, or your hotel, pick you up. How did you get into PAP from the airport (or did you travel overland)?[/QUOTE]

Again, I had the guys meet me and pick me up. I have also been to Cap Haitian in the past. In the future, I'd like to explore Jacmel, Gonaives, etc. Also, don't forget that Haiti has some seriously beautiful mountains and coastlines. If PAP is the most dangerous place in Haiti, I can only imaging how friendly the other areas must be.

There is no way that you can travel to Haiti without good transportation, a working knowledge of Creole and someone on the ground and have a good time. With those factors in place, Haiti can be great. Thus it bears the question, would you pay a couple of hundred bucks more to have all those elements in place? Judging by how much you guys pay to go to some of the other places mentioned on ISG, I would say "yes". If so, Haiti is an exotic, beautiful locale with some really sweet girls.

I keep trying to tell all of you. I feel much safer in Haiti than many cities in the U.S. I will be going this next month for a month. I will then return to the states for approximately 2 weeks before I go back to stay. If I worried about my safety, I surely would not go back to live. And the girls are great. They love sex and you are actually better off to stay away from the SWers. They are too commercial. I had a friend from England who found the great girl at one of the Dominican Houses. He shacked up with her for several months. Then one day he asked her why she was better in the sack when he first met her and she said that was commercial. So he ask her for a quick advertisement. The normal Haitian girls are better than the SWers because they are trying to win your heart. They know if they can win your heart, they may have a chance to get out of Haiti. Let's face it. When the ratio of girls to boys are like 7 or 8 to 1, what chance do you think they have of getting hitched with a good guy in Haiti. Don't worry just be happy between the legs of a hot Haitian babe.

Hey La Isla!

Thanks for the good report. Thanks for the pics. I hope you have more.
What's the name of the hotel shown in the pictures? It looks very nice, and if it's close to Caribe Tours office it sounds ideal. I might try to go to Haiti from DR. I am looking into that. Keep the photos coming!

Thanks again!

[QUOTE=La Isla]I moved to the one in the picture below as it was only 2 blocks from the CaribeTours bus station and I had to catch an early morning bus the next day. [/QUOTE]Which hotel is that? And was the one that was $48 the Imperial in Delmas? I'm flying in on Wednesday and have got something lined up but need to find a hotel fast.

[QUOTE=Lagocache]Which hotel is that? And was the one that was $48 the Imperial in Delmas? I'm flying in on Wednesday and have got something lined up but need to find a hotel fast.[/QUOTE]

Man, I'm having a brain fart on the name. I'll see if I can find my receipt. No, that was not the Imperial on Delmas. I did stay there also, but this one was nicer (but more expensive).

Go to the photo section 8/19 to see the Villa Imperial. I am not famiar with the other

Alright. Well I think I'm pretty much decided on the Kinam. From everything I see I should be able to get a room for around $80, and I've eaten at the restaurant there a number of times so I'm already familiar with it. I'd rather pay a little extra and know what I'm getting into than try to save a few bucks and roll the dice. Besides, my girl lives in Petion-ville, anyway, so it just makes it easier all around.

Thanks for your help, guys.

Lagocache,
It's good to know you are going sown to Haiti. Get plenty information about all you can, hotels, restaurants, transportation, girls, etc. Take a lot of pictures, and make sure you ENJOY yourself my man!

Hi, I speak spanish only. In your opinion could I visit Haiti? Are there enough people speaking spanish?
thanks

[QUOTE=FoxesHunter]Hi, I speak spanish only. In your opinion could I visit Haiti? Are there enough people speaking spanish?

FYI, they speak Creole there. Some of the more educated people speak French. Unless they've lived for a time in the DR, they DO NOT "speakie Spanish".
IMHO, its a tough place to be with no contacts and no language skills.

I can tell you now. The Kinam is good but it is not girl friendly. You would have to take her in during the day and keep her there until the night if you want an all nighter. I have done that before. The El Rancho is nice and it is more Girl Friendly but I have heard of another place that is cheaper. in Petionville

I will be in Haiti Saturday night and expect to get my camera burning from the hot nookie along with Mr Happy

She just walked right up to my room and then we didn't go out to the pool together until night time when the morning staff had gone home. So we had no problems. For future reference, though, what is this other place you've heard of in P=Ville that's cheaper?

Hi Lagocache, Bad Bear2000, and any other fellow down there now or going to Haiti soon, get lots of info and pictures, pictures, and more pictures. Thanks in advance!

Good to hear that since I happen to be there.
