then there are 2 main avenues going south to north that lead to malls and restaurants) obvious there more but i want to keep it short and sweet

Lincoln and churchhill

basically get on ave gomez head west/east, turn and go south or north depending there you are going. BEWARE the traffic is beyond slow. Use the tunnels.

To be honest i would hate to be stuck in traffic on my vacation. I use to drive all the time, since i didnt know the side streets i would always be stuck in traffic. That is my main reason to take taxi's they know all the shortcuts.

I used print or screenshots of the directions of places i want to go. I still do that but i just show it to the taxi and they make it happen.

The monger map is still very accurate. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/vi...gH90k&hl=en_US

Maximo Gomez runs north and south, not east and west. You can drive all day on Gomez and will never cross lincoln or churchill.

Besides lincoln and churchill for north and south you have maximo gomez and tiradentes, and then after churchill nuns de caceres.

Plus Ortega y Gasset, Tiradentes, and Luperon. And Francisco del Rosario Sanchez and Ave. Duarte, if you know the shortcuts.

Trippers was mine, Chris was my driver. I haven't seen him in 11 years, but I know he's doing well.
He and Tania are no more, but work together at the villa.
Haven't heard from Dom Wolf in ages.

How's that gorgeous girl of yours, and when's the BBQ?? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Asked one of my girls and she said its more like 2-2.5hr driving. Are you planning to drive around boca chica? I think boca chica is small enough that you dont need a car.

I am clearly anti-driving RD now. If you plan to use the car often go for a rental but if your not why pay $50/night plus gasoline when the car will be parked 90% of the time. The over price of rental vs price of taxi are very close minus the price of gas, stress of driving, and Driving after a few cocktails. I think taxi's actually cheaper in the long term

Actually from punta cana to boca chica is about 1 hr. 30 mins -1 hr. 45 mins depending on how fast you drive, new highway, which makes it real easy, don't have to drive through the city of la romana any longer which can be confusing and time consuming.

Actually don't know why I responded to that post, the thunderstars were already in town so they made it alright, ran into them briefly in El Batey disco, guess I just wanted to set the record straight, since there was back and forth about driving time.

I haven't see Chris in maybe 16 years. Last time I saw Tania was outside of jet Set. I parked out back with my ex wife in the car. I get out of car and hear a girl screaming my name. I turn around and a very pregnant girl is running towards me. My ex gave me the look of death. She runs up and gives me big hug and kiss hello, and my ex is now freaking. I still had no idea who it was. Then she finally said Tania, esposa de Chris. . .whew. . .that had to be 1999. Glad to hear they are doing well, even if not together.

Not sure I could pick domwolf out of a lineup. . .lol. Blast from Past. Years later I actually lived across the street from Hot Cafe.

BBQ would be in Bella Vista. We can twist yayow's arm to get him to come along. Wife is in NYC right now, learning english and getting drivers and cosmetology license. We just met up in Miami last week. Married just over a year. Living together almost 7 years. She is a keeper.
