Getting TO/AROUND: We would have flown about 11 hours and an other 2 traveling and waiting to get to Punta Cana. We first would have gone to Puerto Plata and after that to Punta Cana....this screen in the plane is telling you the hours and minutes till you get there...if something is frustrating its this screen...you are sour of all the sitting and then you think you are halfway...nope...still 7 hours to go...!!

Getting TO/AROUND: This is something i do like...the way the plane is flying...its nice to see where you are and where you are going. Always near New York you get some turbulance...and if the sea is coloured light blue you have a nice flight!

Getting TO/AROUND: We had a little trouble getting to Punta Cana. It seemed that the landing lights in Puerto Plata were not working. So we had to fly to Santo Domingo...and travel further by buss.

Getting TO/AROUND: I still dont get the picture, cause if we would have flown only the people who had to go to Puerto Plata would have been in a bus for 4 hours. When we came in the airport of Santa Domingo we had to fill in the document for getting in the Dominican Republic and getting out. Everybody on boart of the plane still had to do this, so can you imagine about 500 people in a row waiting to get this form and fill it in???

Getting TO/AROUND: When we get through the costums, we had to wait till all the busses arrived to bring us to Punta Cana or to Puerto Plata. We sait there in a big empty hall with nothing to do for about 2 hours, knowing we had to drive about 4 hours in the dark. And if you have been in the Dominican before you also know the roads are not the same as in European or USA countries...

Getting TO/AROUND: Finally all the busses were there. All the people going to Puerto Plata had to stand one side and the ones to Punta Cana on the other side....When all the people to Puerto Plata were gone it was time for the Punta Cana people....but there was enough space in just 2 busses. About 12 people needed to sitt in the middle of the bus. Frans and I were 2 of this 12 people and refused to do this....and i am glad more people refused..so an other bus was opened and we could go with this bus (with just the 12 of us). To make sure our suitecases would be in this bus, we placed them ourselves in this bus. And there we went...4 long hours of driving through the Dominican night. I think the driver we had was ready for Formula 1 driving..we sat in the front of the bus..and i couldnt look out straight away, cause we sat really hight...but i could see the strange manouvers he made....hell what a driver this was! But we came to Punta Cana in one piece...only 1 bus was missing! We never found out what happend to this bus..maybe the people in it had to celebrate their holiday in Puerto Plata instead of Punta Cana!
