Living Here Blog

We have thought about this for a little while now and decided to go ahead and implement this feature. I want to cover in the blog how life is different here than in other coutnries where I have lived. Some of the info will be covered in other pages on the site and some will not. For the entries that are located on other pages I am hoping that the blog ight be able to give a more personal touch or tell the story behind the information. Being in a blog style setting, you will be able to subscribe by email or to our feeds and stay update as we make new post and expand the site. We hope that you enjoy the new feature and check out our new blog.

Living in Santiago Hotel Booking Engine

I have put into place an hotel booking engine. From the menu you can go straight to one of the major cities here in the Dominican Republic or do a search for any wheres in the world off the search page. Another feature of this booking engine is that you can book half day and full day tours from several of the cities around the island.

The booking engine is powered by World Choice Travel (WCT). More information on them along with contact and reservation info can be found on the About Us page.

Santiago Interactive Map

Check out our Interactive map. Due to the fact that we are in the Dominican Republic and not the US or Europe, we can only display the satelite photo and not the road map. But once you start moving around you will find that this map is actually pretty good. I have marked a couple of the places of interest.  Would like to back those up with photos posted around the site or maybe a photo gallery.
