Jimmy, or anybody else who can give information:
How easy is it to travel the country?
Very Easy.
Are there express buses? A/C?
Take Caribe Tours Busline.
And comfortable?
Very
I will land in SD and check out the rest of the country later, during a 3-week period. is that a good plan?
Great place to start and finish.
Also, if you just want to relax for a few days in between traveling, in a quiet, comfortable, and pleasant environment, where would you recommend to go, and is it necessary to plan ahead and make a reservation?
There are plenty of hotels that you can just walkin to.
I take it that BB will be great for mongering but on the noisy side all the tiime, or not? What is the beach like there? Also, since i bring heavy camera equipment and laptop, I am not traveling too light, so i would have to move from a safe base to another and then use that as a base for day trips into the campo, I guess. Any comments and recommendations? What is the best way to move around in the DR? For comparison, in Cuba, which I visited many times, there is at least a good express bus service. Also, transportation by air, but expensive ($100 one way across the island).
