Dominican Adventures
Even though I was traveling with a local-speaking partner who had been to the DR many times, I still bought the Lonely Planet book and used it to help build an itinerary. I had only a brief five day visit to the DR in the Fall of 2006 for a wedding. I only had a chance to visit the Southeast corner of the country, as well as the city of Santo Domingo. The Lonely Planet guide helped me find clean and affordable accomodations for less than $50USD/night right on the beach where we rented a local fishing boat for two days to go diving and snorkeling in the local reefs. I'm looking forward to going back to explore other parts of the country. Rental cars were inexpensive, but driving in the DR is an experience as it almost seemed like a "free-for-all" at times. The main Interstate is well maintained, but a majority of the local roads are not. The Lonely Planet guide ~as always~ was accurate and helpful.

Nothing About Haiti
Amazon lists the title of this book as "Lonely Planet Dominican Republic (Lonely Planet Dominican Republic & Haiti)" and this isn't correct. There is nothing in this book regarding Haiti. Now I have to pay to ship it back to them. Thanks Amazon!.

Best information for trip to the Dominican Republic
R. After a short visit to the D. , I ordered this book in anticipation of my next trip there. I was surprised and pleased with the detailed information.
