I will never return to the DR. Eight years ago, we were there for a wedding. Our driver slammed on the brakes as these little mopeds were weaving in and out of cars everywhere. My wife had a gash on her forehead was the result. The conditions at their hospital were unbelievably unsanitary. There was an armed security guard there to be sure you paid your bill. We couldn't get off of that island quick enough. The poverty there makes that island terribly dangerous.OT-Non Politics. Many years ago a young woman named Natalie Holloway dominated news and particularly cable news when she disappeared in Aruba (I think). The body was never found, the local authorities shielded the probable murder, etc. The guy eventually got in trouble for other things and maybe even this event was eventually pinned on him. It was a long time ago. Date rape drugs were also suspected.
Anyway, we may have another, the news media certainly is ramping up coverage. A 20 yr old woman went to a Riu resort in the Dominican Republic (they are all over Mexico and the Carribbean) with 5 girl friends for Spring break partying. 4-5 nights ago the women met some men to socialize. At about 4am they were walking on the beach and everyone except the 20 yr old and a man went back to the hotel. The man eventually left the beach and details are still emerging. I think his story is they went swimming and she drowned but the family is not buying it. Apparently her body is missing if she did drown.
Fathers (and Mothers) what good can come from letting your daughter hang out with a stranger on a beach at 4am? Why did her friends think it was OK to leave her? SMH

A guy I know took his gf there to get engaged. The first night they were there, they were drugged at the resort bar and a bunch of hotel employees came to their room and assaulted his gf. He posted this experience on Facebook and you would not believe the number of people that posted a similar experience in the DR or Mexico.
Pay a bit more and go to Grand Cayman or stay home and go to the Keys.
