Today we fly back to FL from our week long vacation in the Dominican Republic. We booked this trip back when we were living in Mexico, probably about 6 months ago. Neither Keith nor I had ever been here so we wanted to try a new destination. I am happy to say we did enjoy ourselves and would come back. I don't foresee that being anytime soon as we have the next year planned out already. What can I say, I'm a planner!
We stayed at the Hard Rock Punta Cana, which is an all inclusive resort. We didn't plan to leave but with our package came two free excursions. Being that I love the words FREE, I signed us up for a snorkeling day trip on a catamaran. It was nice to leave the resort and see more of the area. It reminds us a lot of Mexico, honestly. It's just significantly smaller.
We spent a lot of time in the spa using our resort credits. We had our first ever 4 hand massage, which was delightful. We tried to eat really well and didn't really drink very much besides wine. The staff here is friendly but Mexico has them beat in hospitality hands down. I think next on our agenda will probably be Hard Rock Riviera Maya or the new one in Los Cabos... We shall see.
I'll post photos later but for now - we are off! Wish us safe travels, por favor! Adios!!!
