El D money is nothing to him believe me I was shocked when I saw 8O on the 2nd day in the afternoon he ran out of money. He bought with him $1500 for 5 days which is more than enough, shit I was going to be in DR for 19 days and I bought $2000 which I did not spend in all of in 19 days.

What rates are you guys getting down there?

**Escort_King** · 11-22-2005, 10:11 PM

The dollar is going up against most currencies right now and is expected to continue through the week.

**Escort_King** · 11-22-2005, 10:19 PM

I will be happy if it is 33 or over.... every peso is a 2000 peso swing for what I get to spend....

Couple of free sessions or one overpriced TLD
