The Dominican is a place that is traveled to a lot. If you where to fly out of Europe which is North East of the Dominican you would most likely land in the beautiful city of Santo Domingo. The Caribbean has its own time zone which the Dominican lies in. My fun fact is that the Dominican Republic was part of Hispaniola. /Place
