    My first drive to Boca Chica

    I hung out with DMV in Sosua and drew a blank with the chicas and I wasn't feeling Puerto Plata either so I decided the next day to take the plunge and drive to Boca Chica taking the new highway outside Nagua. This would be my first drive beyond Santiago and an adventure it was.

    Hwy 5 toward Nagua is no Interstate Highway according to US standards the road was smooth in some parts and other parts it felt as if I was driving off road as opposed to a paved highway.



    Despite the poor road conditions there were some decent views along the way.



    Driving through Gasper Hernandez, Rio San Juan and Nagua was stop and go traffic.

    Highway 7 the new highway from Nagua to Santo Domingo

    Highway 7 the new highway is a lot easier ride than Hwy 5. Not only was it comfortable but it was scenic





    There were 3 tolls on the new highway I believe I paid about 300 pesos for all 3. AMET set up in several spots running radar. In addition there was a couple of rest stops for rest room breaks food and gasoline.

    Upstairs is 22 which I discovered is a "hookah bar." I walked in and every body was sitting around smoking hookah. They play the typical Latin playlist and there is a flats creen playing videos. There is a bar and couches around the periphery of the club there is also an inside and a balcony. For those who smoke hookah and this is a laid back spot.

    Hotel Hamilton & Restaurant

    This trip was impromptu so there were no reservations made. I arrived at Hotel Garant & Suites first because I like the staff but there was no room available. I went to Hotel Hamilton which is further from the strip but a good location because it is across the street from a local colmado.

    Hotel Hamilton has a restaurant, mini casino an lobby with a desk top computer. My room was dated but nice with a sitting area and queen size bed. There was a key safe in the wall and an Anwar closet. The air-conditioner had no thermostat and only 1 temperature. The toilet would run water after being flushed also and constantly needed attention.

    There was parking and security at night. At night the doors were locked and security had to let you in. If you have a chica she is required to leave her cedula at the front desk.

    Hotel Mystic is a dated property however I like the way it is set up. There is a balcony with chairs so you can watch foot traffic after which you walk in to the front entrance. The receptionist is on your right and there is a sitting area with couches and a TV. This are is great for interviews if you do not want to immediately bring a chica to your room.

    As you continue on the first floor there is a bar and restaurant. There are different types of rooms but I got a large room with a small table chairs couch and king size bed. The room was obviously dated but very comfortable. There was a flat screen TV and safe in the wall. My biggest complaint would be there was no refrigerator or mini-bar.

    The other complaint I had was there was no thermostat for the air-conditioner it was either on or off. I do not like sleeping with the air-conditioner due to my sinuses so that presented a problem because the room was very uncomfortable without it.

    I was supposed to have 2 dates the first a Dominican Cupid chica wore me out in 2 hours 2 leches I was so beat I passed on the second and after eating slept till morning. I have no idea how Biglongbeach does it back to back…
    I get a kick out of calling the Mystic "dated". I think it's only like 10 yrs. old or so. One of the newer buildings in the neighborhood..

    Gusto Tropical Bar & Restaurant

    I believe I found my wingman for the South Coast, Yayow has been showing me around. Gusto Tropical is the Old Senior Tranquilo beach bar and the Duarte space is now a pizzeria-Itlalian restaurant. The beach bar has waitresses available for 1000pesos salida or you can meet them after they get off work.








    The waitresses brought Yayow and I some complimentary bread sticks and spaghetti sauce which was excellent

    D' Paco Drink & El Batey

    Yayow and I had dinner at Agua y Sal and ran into a couple of chicas we decided to take out for the night. Our first stop was D' Paco Drink which is a local spot. There was definitely some eye candy available but we were occupied and the spot was entirely too crowded so we decided to change locations.



    We decided to go to old faithful El Batey. There was definitely some new talent in the spot it appeared as if there was some influx from Santo Domingo but once again since we were paired off it was a mute issue.



    I saw my date from the previous night and after seeing me with my current date she waited for her to go the bathroom after which she walked up to me and told me to erase her pictures...ERRRRRR? Surely she didn't expect a man who was paying her for sex to be faithful...SURELY???

    My date came back doing a provocative butterfly dance with her thighs and I had enough so we retired. Sex was good and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening.

    Don't be so quick to judge!

    This trip has taught me not to be too quick to judge. Previously I felt like Boca Chica was the armpit of the Dominican Republic but it has been a pleasant diversion from the North Coast. I felt more relaxed and less stressed. All of the chicas I ran into were laid back and nobody was asking outlandish prices.

    I spent some time off the grid which was a pleasant diversion also. For me even Calle Duarte was more laid back and less stressful than Pedro Clisante. I will definitely be back the change did me good.



    I haven't been totally converted but I am beginning to see the appeal of Hoe Town #2

    Trek back to Puerto Plata

    I decided to return to Puerto Plata driving through Santiago on my return trip. Highway 3 between Boca Chica and Santo Domingo is an interesting drive. One thing I have to get accustomed to driving in the Dominican Republic is people driving the wrong way. Driving the wrong way is one thing on a city street but a totally different thing on limited access highways where speeds are in excess of 55mph.



    Then there is the issue of dysfunctional or no traffic signals at all. Turning traffic across a limited access highway with excessive speeds can be hazardous to your health. Whoever designed the traffic grid in the Dominican Republic must have been drinking Presidentes



    One of the biggest challenges driving to Puerto Plata is that Santo Domingo has no highway by-pass so you have to drive through Santo Domingo traffic which can be horrendous, however it wasn't too bad on this occasion since traffic is light on Sundays.



    Highway 1 from Santo Dominigo to Santiago is an excellent road for Dominican standards. I enjoyed driving on a 4 lane road with a median. The bypass around Santiago is great with 1 100 peso toll which is worth not having to deal with Santiago traffic. The Navarette Puerto Plata Highway is the last stretch before getting home and the sight of a family riding in the bed of a pick up truck is a reminder of where I am.



    The tunnel outside Altimira has become a landmark that I can set y watch by once I have gone through it.



    Be ever so humble there is no place like home. It was a great road trip and an even better weekend. When returning to Boca Chica I think I will take the Santiago route as opposed to the Nagua route because the Santiago route saves about an hour even with a stop for gasoline and food.

    Pros with a semi pro attitude

    As most of us already know a woman is a woman is a woman. While in El Batey I was seen by a chica I was with the night before with another chica so when the chica I was with went to the bathroom the other chica comes over and tells me to erase her photos. Later the following day she sends me the below listed message and tells me to erase her number also.



    I didn't capture the entire conversation but the bottom line is when I called her on her jealousy she tried to flip the script and say "no estoy celosa" yeah right then why do you want me to delete your photos? She never answered the question.

    To her credit although I paid her she was very GFE and a cool person I could take away from how she treated me that she liked me as she was not hard core at all. She is in a heavy pro game in Boca Chica and if she is going to survive there she is going to have to get out her feelings. I just hope she doesn't become too hard core in the process.

    It would be fun to see an updated pic

    I suspect time has not been kind to her but they often seem to have a sister or cousin that carry the same traits.

    Rumbas, Sosua

    I had friends in town so I returned to old faithful Rumbas. On Monday nights it is pretty dead as you can see but a friend of a friend met a looker tall light skinned chica who obviously was a high end chica. So she says she wants $100.00 for 3 hours. I decided to help negotiate she wouldn't take 3000pesos then I offered 3000pesos not satisfied and 4000 if the client was satisfied...you know what this chica said? "cien dolares es 4500pesos" GTFOOHWTBS! The client was only willing to pay 3000pesos so she was dismissed.

    The negotiation kinda spoiled my attitude with the arrogance of many chicas in Sosua now but I later found a cousin of a regular who I had been wanting to hit for a while. Good price incredible GFE and well worth the Dulce Sereto cabana run. I was encouraged that there are still some kool chicas in Sosua.

    Plan Nacional De Regularizacion de Extranjeros

    Since approximately April I have been going the process to get legal in the Dominican Republic. I applied through the truncated program that gave me a temporary residency that is good for 2 years. This process allowed me to bi-pass many of the requirements of the normal residency program.

    Today I once again witnessed Dominican efficiency at its finest. I had a 1pm appointment and did not get called until 3:30pm. Instead of an ID card I was given a passport page similar to the Visa page that Brazil gives. Now I do not have to pay for a tourist card or for exit fees if I stay over 30 days. I have yet to decide if I will file for the permanent residency.

    Be interesting to hear what happens to you the next time you leave and come back again. Today I read on FB of someone complaining that they had the plan de regularizacion sticker but still had to pay a fee when they left the D.R. and went to Haiti. I am not sure though if this was some kind of exit fee/departure tax or the overstay fee.
