Newbie advice for first rip
I have been a long time lurker but have never made a post before. That is because I have never been to the DR before. I finally took the plunge and decided to come down.
My itinerary is as follows:
Arrive Wed Apr 7th – Blackbeards (1 night)
Thur Apr 8th – Sun Apr 11th – New Garden (4 nights)
Mon Apr 12th – Tues Apr 13th – FOD (2 nights)
Fly home Wed Apr 14th
I have booked my flight and have reservations at my hotels. Thanks to everyone who posts here (I RTFF) who made this all pretty easy. I do have two questions:
1) There have been a lot of posts on cell phones. I am from Canada so AT&T and Verizon do not exist here. Can I just buy a cheap phone down there and add minutes? I am not sure what an unlocked phone or a sim card is.
2) I want to rent a car for my trip as I want to take some day trips and do a lot of golfing. Where is the best place to rent a car? Some reports say online is a rip-off. Some say the POP airport, and there are a few other ideas (mind you I am a first timer). Any suggestions on the best and easiest deal for a newbie? I have also read that you should take maximum insurance regardless of what you have at home or with your Visa card?
Any help on these two subjects would be appreciated. Also, if there are any experienced mongers down there on these dates I would like to meet up and share some stories and info.
Nothing, just keep an eye on the precipice!

As long as you understand that she is a puta and you're a john, nothing.
As long as you understand that you're not the only one receiving that "treatment", nothing.
I suggest that you "expand your horizons". You might find out that you would receive the same "treatment" from other putas and realize that they just see you as a softy (read sucker) to be taken advantage of.
Do yourself a favor and don't fall for the BS. That "meet the family" thing is part of the script, and yes, they're good actresses. Put yourself in a real father shoes, would you be happy to know that your daughter is a puta (I wouldn't) and that she comes home with a john who could be her grandfather (I wouldn't)? Have you realized that you're dealing with a bunch of people with no morals?
Just stop the money and you'd see how fast the charade ends.
But at the end, it's your life. If you wanna be another number in the long line of suckers who felt for a puta and be the laughingstock of third-world low life scum, just be my guest.
You might not like what I say but (maybe) someday you'll realize [B]who really[/B] gave you the best advice here.
