*
- It
will be very warm - you do not need a jacket or sweater; leave them in
the van in Chicago. You do
not need a lot of clothes; Dominicans are usually casual but neat, one
set of dressy casuals would be good for special events and church.
Concerning shorts, most older Dominicans do not wear them and because of
the mosquitoes we strongly discourage them; also shorts are very
inappropriate for church in the DR. That being said, some people do use
shorts, but please be appropriate.
Please
bring as few personal things as you can and it will be easier to travel
around the DR.
