Hi!
I live in Puerto Rico, the island next to it. While they look close on the map its not really close.
I went to the dominican republic once. I have never gone back. I find the poverty there depressing. Watch out for thieves and corrupt cops. Be VERY careful there.

Thanks for the warning, but I wasn't talking about the Dominican Republic but Dominica proper, i.e. the island between Guadeloupe and Martinica
I was interested in it mainly because everyone throws around the usual line about "the nature island of the Caribbean", and honestly I'd much prefer to spend a week walking around in lush vegetation than sitting all day on a beach (blech
)
What about the Virgin Islands? Or Turks & Caicos? Help me avoid throwing thousands of $$$ on an ugly vacation
