[ATTACH=CONFIG]146860[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]Bro did Manny get a promotion he didn't tell me about? He's Latinos manager now? He's a hard worker that kid. He puts in a whole evening shift at Latinos then works the casino til 6am. One of the only guys I trust down there.

[QUOTE=Ehunter; 1127798]...The same goes for any kind of rum factory tour? I'm burned out on the web wild goose searching.

I know Black Beards has a laminated list of excursions and arranges all kinds of stuff except I am not there to see it. I don't know about most but I don't like feeling like cattle where 10 guys get in a dune buggy and drive through mud, single file, over a fixed track everybody else goes over...[/QUOTE]The Brugal factory is just west of the Iberostar Costa Dorada complex (which is west of the Playa Dorada complex) on Highway 5.

Would someone who has actually visited there please conform or otherwise. Thanks.

If Ehunter and friend are reasonably fit they might like the 27 waterfalls outing at Damajagua. 45 minutes bus ride from Puerto Plata. Don't go if you are out of condition or it is or has been raining appreciably, though. It is a trip you can do independently. You don't need to be in a party but you will need to hire a guide once there. And check out your clothing / footwear needs before you go as you will get seriously wet.

If I told you I rode my scooter ALL THE WAY from Sosua to the waterfalls, would you believe me? It was a real adventure while stopping at Burger King at the midway point.

Suppose you do drive to the waterfalls and make a trip up stream with a guide. Your scooter will be sitting there the whole time. How do you know it will be there when you get back? Do the locals treat it as taboo to rip off a scooter that does not belong to them?

How much do you pay for scooter rental and do you buy insurance? It is out of vogue to wear helmets, right? LOL

From what I can understand the main factory is located in the Santa Domingo area. The finished rum is shipped to Puerto Plata in wooden barrels and they bottle it there.

Tour is very short and includes a video to explain the process. Free tour and tasting. Some people wrote up the details here: [url]http://www.igougo.com/review-r1374783-Short_Sweet_[/url]%28or_Rummy%29. Html

[QUOTE=Ehunter;1128034]Do the locals treat it as taboo to rip off a scooter that does not belong to them?[/QUOTE]No, they treat as taboo NOT to steal it.

The waterfalls is a nice trip. It is not for everyone as it is very physical. Bring some water, snacks and proper footwear. BB's has info. And also Maria (she sells clothes to the girls at BB's) set me up with her son who was a guide there at the time. I made as far as #17 before it was getting to late. Once you get there it is a bit of a hike to the start of the falls and there were lots of locals as it was the weekend.

LOL[/QUOTE]I've been renting sccoters there for 10yrs without incident but within the last 3yrs I have been more careful with it for my motoconcho good friend has told me that the ladrones have become more brazen and are lifting and swiping scooters and motos with more frequency. When I went to the Falls, there are guys there who sit there all day who I tipped 50 pesos to watch my scooter. If I hit classicos or club 59 I park up the hill a little from the stands where they make the fried meat, in front of "NYC SUBS, lol my ass NYC SUBS" and my Haitian guy will watch it all night for me for 100 pesos. If I hit the beach the guys there again will watch it for me for 50 pesos. Hey guys I'd rather be safe than sorry, especially when they hold on to your passport and make you sign a 15, 000 peso lost or stolen scooter waiiver.

The youtube video looks like a lot of fun. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqzzf0-Wf68[/url]

She was driving down one of the dirt roads near her "house" and a guy knocked her off the damn thing as she was moving. They got the scooter, what little money she had and her cedula. She tried to fight them off and they gave her a hell of a beating. Poverty breeds desperation it's that simple.

Just checking in with all of you guys to see if anyone is going to be staying in sosua March 16th thru the 20th? It will be my first time in DR, but I'm looking forward to having a great time and banging lots of beautiful women. At least I'm hoping so; What do you guys think? I have been reading all this crap about the crack downs in Sosua, but I'm not going to let that ruin my vacation plans. I have been waiting for this trip for a few months now, and I'm always checking this board to get a update on the conditions in Sosua.

If anyone is going to be there while I'm there I would love to meet up for a drink. Like I said this is my first time there and I'm not real sure on what to expect. I will be traveling alone, but I'm not really concerned about to many things, since the previous members on this board have given some very good information on what to be aware and such.

At first I was going to stay at Hotel Casa Cayene, then decided on Europa, but in the end I decided to finalize and confirm a reservation Hotel D' Piero, which I guess is located near passions. I'm younger so I really don't mind walking accross town to party and have fun. Any more info you guys can give me would be great. I decided on hotel D'piero because he had great prices and they will pick you up and take you back to the airport for free, which I thought was cool. That would save me the steep prices of the cab drivers there. I will be sure to give him a nice tip though.
