Theft issues. They will steal your shirt off your back if your not looking. However, very little armed robbery. Again it’s a very safe country if you use common sense as to where you go.

Bank safety. The government seems to be more honorable than most countries. When A local banker stole 2.5 billion dollars from a local bank government stood behind bank and paid back money, but in pesos. You wouldn’t get your money back if a U.S or Western Country banker stole that much money.

Corruption. The banker stole 2.5 billion and walked away as free as a bird. He is flying around in his helicopters and cruising in one of his private yahts in French Riviera right now. While poor people can’t even buy a green banana to eat. Why? That’s Dominican system. If your going to steal… steal big. You can walk away as free as a bird. Steal a Papaya and you could be gunned down in street. Both events actually happened in Dominican Republic. Moral of story. Steal 2.5 billion dallars and you walk. Steal a papaya and you can be shot dead. You can buy your way out of anything in Dominican Republic with 2.5 billion dollars. But if you don’t have 100 pesos for papaya you could be in trouble.

Not to worry, International Monitary Fund is repacing all of money, no questions asked. They swept whole scandel under rug and have committed to return all stolen money. You decide if IMF is promoting corruption. The American Embassy screamed about scandel. But IMF is standing behind there decision to replace stolen money and they are not demanding that banker be held accountable for crime.

But lets look at over all picture. Would I recommend Dominican Republic for retirement or a vacation . You bet your life I would. I love it. I am a 56 year old bachelor and young women think I am Elvis Presley come back to life. Admittedly I have a stong resemblence and my name is Elvis and I was born in Mississippi and I later lived in Menphis. However, if you bachelors don’t know how and where to look for nice girls you can and will go home empty handed without your Miss Universe. I couldn’t possibly pick one wife out of all these beautiful women so I decicided to keep just keep them all for myself. But one day my vacation will come to an end and I will take my Miss Universe bride home to live in Graceland. I’m coming home. The King. Elvis King. Since I can’t write songs any more I decided to write articles. Elvis.

Did you know that second largest coral reef in world, Great Belize Coral Reef, is in Mexico? This tropical reef system stretches from Playa del Carmen to Gulf of Hondoras and is a paradise of stunning plants and fish that can be explored by scuba divers and snorkelers alike. Your whole family will be enchanted by flashes of rainbow color darting through diamond-clear waters of this vast expanse of one of world’s most beautiful ecosystems.

Soaking Up Atmosphere

Tropical means warm days, warm nights and plenty of sunshine, and on tropical vacations you expect plenty of both. In Mexico you’ll find them – average temperature is 85º in daytime and in 70’s at night, with warm rains of short duration only occasionally interrupting mornings. Warm breezes keep things comfortable year-round and sunsets are always spectacular!

And tropical means atmosphere…it’s that special combination of warm weather, sandy beaches, exotic locale and that indefinable something extra that comes from people. The Mexican people are friendly, generous and family oriented. You’ll discover that shops are closed for lunch breaks and that Friday afternoons are made for relaxing.

Don’t be afraid to strike up conversations and make new friends; mood is relaxed when you take a tropical vacation. There’s no fussy dress code and you’ll never have to put on a necktie or suffer through an evening in stockings and high heels (unless you want to!). Casual is standard when you’re on a tropical vacation – even for dinner, you’re fine in a polo shirt and sandals are encouraged. This is a vacation, after all! And kids are welcome everywhere!

It’s a tropical pace that encourages taking full advantage of simple joys of walking on beach, sampling fresh seafood, bartering in local marketplace and sipping a Sea Breeze in evening with your spouse while sun goes down over waves in a blaze of oranges, reds and golds.

The beaches stretch for miles with finest white sands in world and new and unusual sea shells washing ashore with every wave that gently laps shore. Palm trees stir in breeze, adding quiet rustle of their leaves to winds and providing shade for many hammocks you’ll find strung between them.

Time loses meaning in Tropics

The sound of pounding surf and cry of seagulls overhead will lull you into a relaxing sense of peace as you realize there’s nowhere you have to be, nowhere to rush off to, because in tropical Mexico, no one operates by their watches. It’s free and easy, based purely on what you want to do and when you feel like doing it. Doesn’t that sound good for a change?

So for ultimate in relaxation or adventure, a tropical vacation has it all – sunsets, warm breezes, natural beauty, adventure, friendship, and incredible, lush beauty. Go somewhere tropical for your next family vacation – you’ll never want to go anywhere else!
