    max 1 chica per day, which can include a TLN
    2 normal meals per day
    stay in town so no car or moto, taxi occaisionally

    ....you can do it on $100 per day. If you vary much from the above, just adjust accordingly. I would bring some of it in cash, and two cards. A debit card to grab more cash when needed, and a cc for emergencies.

    Most ATMS in town suck in your card. And sometimes don't give it back. Try to use those only when the bank is open.

    Take pictures of pregnant chicas and forward to me with phone numbers.
    You could do it on $100 per day if your hotel included a full breakfast like many do but even with Rob's numbers look:

    6-12 drinks (probably closer to 12 or more since you will be buying ladies drinks) and the drinks for generic drinks or beer are 80 RD or 100RD at places like Passions or clubs so 12 times almost $3 will be at least $30 a day on drinks and that is not counting Sodas, Juices, Ice Creams, Frostys, and whatever treats for the girls say 10 bucks minimum

    You could walk all over but would need motos or a cab at night in some cases. Even if not unless you only want to hang in the 3 or 4 square block area downtown and not experience Puerto Plata or Caberete or the places a bit out of town you will need cabs or a rental car or scooter at least.

    Then Meals assuming you get a full breakfast at your hotel and only need the 2 big meals of the day you could eat modest and do lunch for 250 pesos with a water or soda ($6.75) or maybe get by for 200 and save a dollar but then dinner say $10-$20 depending on your taste and what you want. Keep in mind 10 bucks will feed you but not a girl too.

    So think $30 drinking plus, $10 soft drinks then transport min $5 a day then meals minimum $15 a day so that is $60 a day without buying ANYTHING like snacks or a snack or a meal for a girl. Now then pay for sex at say a minimum of 2500 at Passions unless you take a street girl at 1500 (good luck on that newbie) and you are really going to be comfortable at more like $125-$150 per day without lodging.
    If you really party double that

    Well most the time, I hire a cab. $15 is the driver's daily quota, so once he meets that, it's fair game from there on out.

    I just don't know how it works in DR.

    For two weeks you could spend anywhere from around $1500 to over 5k, some guys get by just fine on $100/day, some spend $300 or more - it all depends on you and how you roll.
    True shit. I'm on some xxxxx shit for real, so i'll be keeping it budgeted, but i'll probably spend it on drinks and broads. Street, club, don't really matter. Outside of that, and food, I can't see much else imma be doing. Maybe some watersports, jetski, parasailing, etc...

    My spanish is enough to get by which I know is perfect down there. I know they love somebody with some broken spanish but can give it a try.

    Yeah. Moto's. They cost anywhere from 25 to 50 peso's per trip. Depending on day or night. And if you have a chica riding with you, double it. Your total will come NOWHERE near $15us a day!!!!

    To answer your vague question by my personal standards (and I party my balls off). I budget $2400us a week, including hotel. My room is $30us a night with no breakfast. I drink more than most. Actually, I probably drink more in a week than most will in a month. When I was budgeting this, it was when I was taking Lorena from Passions most nights at 10pm, which cost $3500dop a night, plus other chicas during the day occasionally.

    I hear that. Can you just rent cabs for the day though?? You know what a ballpark fare goes for?

    What do you mean when you say $15 Taxi for the day.There is no way you will get a taxi all day or most of the day for that amount.possibly a few stops that is about it.

    First highlight.....Really???? You gotta be kidding.......Right!!!

    Second, you didn't answer a single question that the guys who are trying to help you asked!!! Then, you let us know you haven't read a damn thing. Because if your looking for watersports (outside of Weylands type) jetskiing or parasailing....well, lets just say quite a few guys are chuckling at this.

    Really, I am sure Jimmy would agree with me that is something we love to hear about and I hate budgets.
