couple hours, and and 3000/ $83.33 for an overnighter. Keep in mind, things are different in the DR than stateside. Short appt. typically, not always , but typically are OSOG and the overnighter is OSOG that night and another SOG in the morning. This varies greatly, but that is what you should expect. Anything addl. Is a bonus. The key here is to be explicit and precise and negotiate what you want. If you want two or three shots, say so first. If you want
cim , say so. Also, make sure you understand how much you agreed on. Pull out your pad and write it down and show it to her. Also, write “pesos” after the amount so you dont have her try the BS afterwards that she was talking dollars. They will try to con you
in sosua, a short time appt is around 1000/ $27.78 , 1500 tops, and overnighter 1500, tops2000/ $55.55.
bring your own condoms, and lots of them, and bring some lube. Nothing worse than if you hit a dry hole. I have also encountered some of the tightest pussies ever in the DR. there seem to be an abuncance of spinners there, maybe 95 pounds soaking wet. Not to mention, you may well be trying to make your personal best in the number of shots per day. Some slip and slide goes a long way towards that end. No sense in getting a sore dick. If you want or need some dick meds, they are readily available in the DR. at blackbeards, they sell them at the front desk. In sosua at the new garden, two doors down is a pharmacy. They typically say not to bring in any script med you dont have a script for. Illicit drug use in the DR is very frowned on, and lots of little stings are set up to fleece people out of their money. If you are going to the DR to do some 420, get that thought out of your mind. You DO NOT want to go to a DR jail. You want to recreate with a drug other than viagra or cialis, go find somebody else to hang with. You are not going to find any friends in this group
for some reason, they do not give you wash cloths for your shower in the DR. if you are like me, I like a washcloth. Bring your own. Also, bring a bar of soap. The little bars they give you, coupled with the lack of a washcloth and the number of showers you will be taking suck. Two of the small bars they give is barely enough for the gals, let alone you. Nothing worse than having a small bar of soap broke in three pieces because it is so thin. Keep in mind, the DR is a humid country. Hot and humid. You take a shower before and after sex. The gals do as well. It is SOP down there. If she doesnt want a shower, run. Also, bring your own shampoo, they dont provide it. You could well take 6-8 showers in a days time if you were hitting it hard
the water is not fit to drink. Will make you sick. Drink bottled water only. When brushing your teeth, rinse with bottled water. It is ok to rinse your brush off with tap water, just leave it out to dry. Keep your mouth shut in the shower as well. Lol a little is not going to hurt a thing, I.e. Your lips being damp, etc... just try not to swallow any water. Spit it out. Meds are readily available should you catch a bug, but with a little common sense, it is a non issue. Cipro, a broad range antibiotic will wipe easily wipeout any food or waterborne illness you could get if you get sloppy in your approach. Remember, dont drink the water, and be mindful of eating food from a street vendor. Zentel will also wipe out montezumas revenge easily.
at blackbeards, they have a small mini bar in the room. It has beer,
pop , water and chips I think. Not sure what all else in it. Maybe some rum as well. There is also a grocery store around the corner that you can pick things up as well.
In sousua, there are stores either way from the new garden , just a few doors away, that you can get water./pop./ beer . There is a mini fridge in the room. New garden also has a bar and a restaurant. These both close I think around 11 or so. Not sure. Never there at that time
surge protector. Bring a surge protector to protect anything electric or electronic you bring. I.e. Computer, camera, ipod etc... the electricity is very up and down in the DR and you must protect yourself from surges. Even with the generators kicking in right away, power varies greatly and it is not if the electric goes out, it is when the electric goes out
blackbeards has wireless. Works rather slow , sometimes , in the rooms. Works well around the pool/ restaurant area. Blackbeards also has a computer there you can use. New garden hotel has good wireless. Works everywhere, including the room. At least it did in mine, I was in the new section. Seems I may have heard it doesnt work so well in the old section (note, wireless screwed up for 4 days here this trip. Sucks having to go to the internet cafe to check in for work)
suntan lotion , a hat to cover your head. It gets hot out in the sun. if you have troubles with getting burnt, you will for sure in the DR. I got super fried and dehydrated the last day of our trip this spring. Spent the afternoon frolicking in the pool with the chickadees. Knew I was getting some sun. just didnt realize how much. Made me sick. Missed the last night party there. In bed sick with the chills and fever.
Taxi fare from santiago airport to sosua is 90-100 dollars, U.S. There is a board up with all the cities and what they charge there. Blackbeards is puerto plata, costamar beach, 75-80 bucks. Get your dollar amount agreed upon before you set foot in the cab or they get a handle on any of your luggage. It is slightly negotiable. Last trip down, they wanted 90 bucks , which was higher than the board rate and quickly backed off when we said no. cab rates are high. Between the gas being high and the cost of vehicles on the island coupled with a taxi mafia, the rates are high. It isnt so bad when you split the fare with another. Check at the hotel if any others are going to the airport the same trip you are. The rate is the same for one passenger as it is for 2 or 4. if you have more than 2, they will try and surcharge you. Tell them to get lost. They will capitulate. I will check with blacbeards a few weeks in advance to see if anybody else is coming in at the same time as our flights to see if any rideshare can be worked out. Highly doubt it, we will be 25% of their biz, doesnt leave a lot when you spread the rest of the arrivals out over a handful of days and the different flight times but worth a try
tipping a surcharge is already figured in on your food. A small tip is customary but not necessary. Same with drinks. HOWEVER, tipping you barmaid once and again thru the night has its benefits
tipping the gals, like here in the states is not necessary. Remember, you are paying them a weeks wages for an hours work. If a gal really trips you trigger, trip away. Remember this though, the more money we throw at them , the more they want. Dont be part of the problem
fwiw dept. dont tell the gals on the local boards you are going to the DR. in their minds, every person in that country has HIV. Just keep a lid on it. You dont want some jealous broad starting problems for you (they would cock block you by telling others that you were in the DR and you know how the gals are down there, ) and try to make it so you could only see them
English/Spanish Phrase Guide
the islanders appreciate an effort at at least attempting some of the language. Also, it can be fun to teach each other your respective languages. Also gives an old fart something in common with a young hottie besides your having a dick and her wanting it. That being said, cross out the word dick, like or love and put in “my money” and you will get the hint. Lol she is loving the bucks, nothing else
