The Experience

I opened the car door in Punta Cana still half-dazed from the flight: humid air, that first whiff of salt and diesel, and then our driver, José, waving like he already knew us. He had my name on a card but said it before I could even read it. “Bienvenidos,” he grinned. I didn’t expect to feel so at ease right away. The AC hit me as soon as we got in: honestly, a relief after the sticky heat outside.

José checked if we needed baby seats (we didn’t, but he seemed ready for anything), handed us cold water bottles, and pointed out where the WiFi password was taped near the dashboard: little things that made it feel less like a transaction and more like someone’s looking out for you. The drive from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo is longer than I thought (about two hours?), but time slipped by as José told us about his favorite places to eat in Santo Domingo (“Don’t miss mangú for breakfast,” he said). The road was smooth. I watched palms whip past while my partner dozed off. At one point I caught myself just staring out at the changing light, not thinking about much at all.

We stopped once so José could grab a coffee (“Dominican coffee is strong, you want?”). I tried saying thank you in Spanish and probably butchered it. He laughed but nodded like he understood anyway. It’s funny how quickly you start trusting someone just because they ask if you’re comfortable every twenty minutes. There’s something about being driven through a new country by someone who knows every shortcut and speed bump. It takes away that edge of travel anxiety. By the time we reached Santo Domingo, I felt like we’d been dropped off by an uncle or something, not just some random driver.
