My niece just returned after spending a week at a nice resort there and had no problems. She went with her boyfriend’s family. All were safe.


That just doesn't sound like a resounding endorsement, the fact that someone came back from the DR in one piece

@JBKO  I would not step foot on that Island.  Something very wrong is going on and you don't want to become a part of it.  It would not be in the news so much if it wasn't significiant.  Go to St. Thomas or British Islands and stay away from DR.  A lot of poor people live there.

I wouldn't go at this point but not because "a lot of poor people live there," for goodness' sake.

Right?  I'm just sitting here shaking my head.

 

I'm almost surprised.  Almost.

If you want to risk your life, sure, go.

 

 

I'm sure it would be one hell of an adventure.

My daughter went a couple of years ago and was told not to go any place unless they were in a tour group. She didn't like the feeling of not being safe to just go into town and look around.

I'd go somewhere like Montreal. It's beautiful in September.

Please don't gp. Too much trouble lately. There are plenty of other places that are safe.

The same could be said about any country in the world!

I would wait until they figure it all out.  Not sure I would feel safe.
