    It's good that you decided to take the plunge. You won't regret it.

    I long ago decided that if I was gonna wait for a buddy to take a trip I would never go anywhere as they will always have an excuse.

    Once you decide to do it for you things get much simpler and more enjoyable.

    Plus you will have the opportunity to make new friends and you can do what you want when you want.

    That's a pretty good thing imo

    Enjoy your trip. The time will fly by.

    You know what, Johnny can't go, who needs Johnny.


    Going to many spots, there are many many board members around from various boards.


    It is nice when you can just buy your tickets and book your room and just go.

    I think so. Out front of the Garant? Alicia made me a couple eggs over east, salcichon and mangú.

    I defaulted back here after getting lost in search of a sunrise coffee.

    I have to be missing something in regards to Boca Chica, in the sense that I've never been to the strip at night. I've only gone to the beach, and I still say it's the worst beach I've ever visited in all of the DR, about three trips ago, I took my WM Dmoney there for the first time, the first few dozen words out of his mouth, were commenting how run down, and dirty Boca Chica was.

    I didn't find the beach that bad. If you didn't like the day, Imo the night is even worst. But the chicas were defiantly the worst selection I've scene over all both day and night. Kinda like the mayorista of Dominican Republic.

    Oh no, I've seen the BC chica selection, and it's absolute the pits, lol. Boca Chica has the worst selection of freelance whores I've seen in the DR, and that's saying something when you've walked the Malecon at night!

    Boca Chica attracts many freelancers from Santo Domingo on tge weekends and if it's watersports one wants then Juan Dolio is just down the road. The mongering is hit or miss. I've been there on Thursday and thejoint was jumping with fresh faces everywhere and then Friday and Saturday...nothing.

    The attraction for me is it's a much slower pace than SD but close enough to commute with ease when I want to hang out there. I can't speak for anyone else.

    The selection improves as one gets farther away from ave. Duarte. The ex pats around there have shown us around to a few spots off the point and click menu.

    Any new intel is appreciated. Have you hit any of Boca's numerous little casas yet? A moto guy with no moto and I went on a walking tour of a half dozen of them once and I couldn't find one of them again if I tried. They all looked like residences from the outside.

    It's good to talk with the locals and find one you can trust to show you what most BC tourists never see. It's the kind of town that you go into with low expectations and get nicely surprised.
