Dominican Republic (correction), Visit, Get Sick or get Sick & Die
What is going in P.R.? Any of you going there soon may want to re-think after story after story of US people getting "sick" and Dying there, and seems these are not cheap places that are mentioned. Are they doctoring the liquor there to save a few bucks?? Several stories seem to involve someone getting sick after just having a drink.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rpm2010,

The stories I have seen are about the Dominican Republic. I imagine PR is still very much in recovery from Hurricane Maria.

Are you sure you don't mean the Dominican Republic?

He must mean DR, not to be confused with PR.

PR must have tipped over and he couldn’t tell what it was from looking at the bottom!

That's the DR, not the PR, and the FBI is on the case!
And no. Having been there, I have no desire to go back.

Isnt the DR actually Hispaniola? Which includes another island paradise called Haiti. The only way I would visit either were if my traveling companions consisted of a Marine Expeditionary Unit.

The DR is a shithole, have no desire to go back.
Except maybe for some of that Brugal Anejo or some Bacoo or umm some Kirk and Sweeney.

It's FDR he is talking about. He was in a wheelchair.

Nothing to worry about. The DR PR Dr. at the DR ER said everything was OK.

It's DR that is currently in the news. I have no desire to go there, but if I were there I'd not drink anything I hadn't brought with me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The DR at the ER said PR was getting bad PR because of the the DR. That should clear up the matter.

My daughter went there on a mission trip several years ago. I had what is commonly known as a "shit-fit." The next year it was Guatemala. When time for the next trip came, she was married to a man who said, simply, "No." She's been in the US since.

DR needs to get this under control or their tourism bureau's new motto will be "The Dominican Republic: Where American Tourists Go to Die."
