    Hmmmmm ... I've got to go with Jimmy on this one ... Yes you should cancel your trip!

    Perhaps you could change your handle to "FairweatherMonger2012"
    Jimmy is very wise.

    Re: tropical storm irene....should I cancel my trip?

    Two short Hurricane Party stories:

    On my 50th Birthday, returning from 8 nights in Aruba our plane's weather radar went out en route to PHL and we set down in San Juan. We were given $200 spending money (all our bags were stuck in customs quarrantine at the airport), taxi vouchers, hotel vouchers at the Wyndham El San Juan and meal vouchers for breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We partied at the terrace bar overlooking Old San Juan and everybody got laid. It wasn't even raining a little there and we enjoyed a perfectly clear, moonlit and starry night on UAL's tab.

    A couple guys leaving SDQ a day earlier than the rest of us got their flight washed out during a hurricane and returned to the hotel with a minivan full of Dominicanas (with US visas) who were either returning from seeing their families or going to spend time with their novios/ esposos in the States. The "Kool-Aid Room" turned into the "Orgy Room" that night. The next day they got to their respective destinations...well fucked.


    I like Hurricanes!

    Monger2012, I would much rather be in Puerto Plata DURING a hurricane than to be sitting at home on a bright, sunny day!

    less on the ground costs
    more available chicas
    less drama and more action go for it
    That sums it up perfectly

    You ask me those are the best time to goooo. Then you got to wait until after xmas and new years is over and its on again til the summer. Fuck a hurricane, hope its sunny on the day you fly out and worst case in DR is you get alot of rain, hopefully you'll be indoors with your chicas by then.

    A hurricane definitely wouldnt make me want to cancel my trip, reschedule maybe but cancel is a strong word.

    puerto plata has never been hit by a hurricane.

    tropical storms, yes, but very rarely (something like twice in the last 40 years iirc).

    at worst you'd be looking at a few days of heavy rain.

    That is true TNT. But Freddy Freddy has been more active recently. I noticed he has been giving a lot of thanks, and he finally made his first post.

    Having been a lurker before, at first I was tentative to post because I was concerned that what I said in my initial posts might be ridiculed by the more long term members.

    But, after those first few posts I felt confident about posting.

    To Freddy Freddy, I say thanks for your first post and please post some more.

    Re: tropical storm irene....should I cancel my trip?

    I'm noticing a trend with some newbies on here in that they post questions and then receive some responses--some of which are sarcastic and some that are helpful, but they don't return to participate in their own thread or at the very least send thanks to those that respond in a helpful manner. Is it just me that thinks that you should give a damn about your own thread if you want others to?

    I agree Das. It took me a little while to feel comfortable posting. And I too noticed he's been giving a lot of thank you's.

    But you know how I am.....I can't pass up an oppertunity to bust someones, anyones, balls!!
