That would be harsh
[QUOTE=Wrx2005;2436439]When the travel bans were put in place and airlines reduced or stopped their flights, that essentially stopped foreigners from coming in anyway. What you don't want to see, is foreigners already living there or staying in place being forced to leave. That would be some very harsh news.[/QUOTE]That would be harsh. I doubt it will happen because unlike many Dominicans, the foreigners will still have money to spend. If they can't let flights in its going to get ugly fast. The retirees will be holding the north coast up!

Airline dislocation, entry and quarantine restrictions can make it difficult, and costly, for casual visitors to get home.
But for residents here, the weather's good most days and the store shelves are full of fresh food, beer and liquor. Folks here know how to take care of themselves and their families, without much government help.
Not a bad place at all to ride out this storm. Better than most from what I'm hearing back home.

How do you say.
How do you say "Friends with benefits" in Spanish. I think it is "Ficante or Amante" in Portuguese, but how can I say it in Spanish?

[QUOTE=Wrx2005;2436427]I'm sure enough of you are aware that President Medina in the DR imposed a 8 pm to 6 am curfew for the entire country. Only essential personnel, people out seeking medical care etc are allowed to be out during curfew. This is supposed to last until April 3rd.[/QUOTE]Did they recently change it from 5 PM to 6 AM?

Yes they did
[QUOTE=Bravo;2437971]Did they recently change it from 5 PM to 6 AM?[/QUOTE]Ozzie is correct. The new curfew hours country wide is 5 pm to 6 am. Around 4 pm I was near Las Palmeras hotel today, and saw PN police in their pick up truck loaded with men with rifles. They've been circling around Sosua a lot. I was told by someone a few Haitians went into a restaurant in Sosua and menaced the worker inside, and demanded food. If that person made a report to the police, I'm sure that's one more reason patrols during and beyond curfew would step up. I still hear motos every now and then, going up and down one of the back streets near where I live (during curfew), and they arent police.
