    Turns out the tiny little Dominican Republic had the answer to that. We live....we learn.

    You can take Uber to airport from BC, but the taxi Mafia won't allow them to pickup at the airport.

    Money exchange places open till about 2 am on Duarte

    I paid $12.50 US from the airport to Duarte on my last trip using Uber. They picked me up at the side of the main terminal at the arrivals' level. I simply walked right from the exit, walked 100m to an employee entrance, lit up a smoke and Uber rolled up before my cigarette was out.

    I had my data roaming off and used the airport wifi for both data and voice access. You're better off having the driver take you directly to your hotel, settling your bag(s), freshening up and then walking down to Duarte, especially if it's evening because 1. You don't want to be dragging luggage down Ho Row 2. They close Duarte off to vehicular traffic in the evenings and you'd end up walking anyway if you arrive after that.

    I noticed with Uber that they give you the option to pay in cash or leave the charge on your account.

    All the taxi drivers speak English at the Airport. Whatever they say, lower by $5.

    The best part about using Uber in the 3rd world is that you're guaranteed a clean, late model car, a driver with a good record and GPS. Oh yeah, and a reasonable price. I have ridden taxis in these places with cracks all the way across the windshield, LP tanks on the dashboard and drivers who had no idea where the Fuck they were going and wanted to renegotiate the price en route. Hell a couple times the taxi broke down along Ave Espana in SD and the driver had to call a primo.

    I'm getting too old for that bullshit. My time is worth more than my money. I have a 3 hour JKIA-downtown Nairobi taxi horror story just like everybody else who's been there. Thanks to Uber there won't be another.
