Santo Domingo: A Lovely City
Blog: Fourteen months, four countries, and three kids - Tales from the Field - 18 December 2009
Santo Domingo is a lovely city. It runs along the Caribbean Sea, and has two large parks with views of the Sea. The Colonial City is replete with Old World charm – ancient stone buildings, a bubbling pedestrian walkway, huge stone plazas, churches, and all sorts of interesting sights. All over the city, you can find cafés, pastry shops, and places to hang out.

A lovely day at the beach in Boca Chica
Blog: Fourteen months, four countries, and three kids - Tales from the Field - 8 December 2009
After nearly three weeks in the Dominican Republic, we finally made it to the beach! The beach at Boca Chica is just a 45 minute bus ride from Duarte, in central Santo Domingo. Once we were ready to go, we hailed a cab in front of our house that took us to the bus station. The cab driver offered to take us all the way to Boca Chica for 1,000 pesos (US$28), but we declined the offer. Instead, we boarded an air-conditioned gua-gua (bus) that charges 60 pesos (US$2) a person, and had a nice, cool, fast ride to Boca Chica.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 20 February 2008
Long, cold winters in Boston make you dream about a place like Punta Cana. Needless to say it felt pretty amazing to disembark into the 80-degree Caribbean air. From the airport, we found the "shuttle" to our hotel-- a beat-up minivan circa 1985. While we had understood that transportation was included in our Orbitz package, we lacked the vouchers requested by our driver and ended up paying $40 to get to our hotel. So if you do book a trip to Punta Cana, it is important you work out these details ahead of time.
