Tell me about the Dominican Republic!

Because I caught a cheap flight and hotel there, and I’m flying out Saturday!

What can I expect when I visit?

Should I stray outside the resort?

How safe is it there?

Can I drink the water?

This is my first trip to the Carribean, and it’s gotten cold here in Canada! I’m staying in Luperon. I’m so excited!

I went a couple years ago during the summer. Stayed at a really nice, all-inclusive resort. I only strayed from it during touristy-stuff like tours of the cities and god awful tacky gift shops selling mountains of rum and cigars.

It was a really nice time, though. It was, obviously, safe within the resort (although I didn’t like walking the streets as much because the poor kids keep coming up to you and trying to get you to buy some crap, which is sad), and I never even tried to drink the water, as bottled was plentiful.
