You are going to the Dominican Republic, a very different kind of place from the Dominica being discussed. Extremely different in just about every imaginable way. Huge DR has resorts. Tiny Dominica has mountains that plunge directly into the sea, and very few people.I planned a trip for 22 Nov to 29th I am flying from Miami using LAN and paying $533.00 round trip business class which allows three 50lb. bags. Though having done a little online research I am thinking about changing resort. The price is right but the diving around Punta Cana does not seem to be that great.
As long as you are comfortable and competent with a clutch, you should have no problem. The driver sits on the right side of the vehicle, but everything else is the same. The position of the driver is an almost foolproof reminder to KEEP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. The shifter is identical, unchanged in any way. This means that first gear is up and away from you, second straight down, third up and toward you, etc. It is not a mirror image. It's exactly the same as if you were driving on the other side, as if you were shifting from the passenger seat of an American car. You use your left hand to change gears. The clutch, brake, and gas pedal are set up the same as an American car. A snap, really, not too difficult, but I must admit I got used to it decades ago when I lived in Jamaica and had my own little Toyota Starlet.agilis, i`ve never done the manual AND RHD. how do you find it
