... and he says we're going in the right direction. 5 more minutes pass and we just don't really see where the lagoons could be, plus we're on private property at this point (haha). So we ask a beverage cart guy and he laughs at us and tell us we're going to the wrong way...that we should have gone to the right down the beach not the left. So we past the first guy again on the way back and he says, "oh las lagunas, si, estan por aca" (pointing the opposite ...

... broken English, but like most Dominicans, she's fantastic. She shows me the lodgings at the EF are much like dormitories: two twin beds in a room with a vanity, rod to hang your clothes, and bathroom that connects to another room. This one happens to have AC from 7pm-7am, which I quickly learn seems like a Godsend at the end of very long hot days. Also in the EF lodgings is a laundry room, really nice kitchen and huge great ...

Fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional del Este. Fui a acampar en el parque y fui a pescar en el agua. Fui a subir en las arboles. Fue a estar fenomenal. Fui a ver los animales. Muchos iguanas en la Republica de Dominicana. La Republica de Dominicana tiene muchos animales. En el Parque Nacional del Este, fui a comer bocadillos.

... the rain cleared in time for the ceremony and reception which was awesome) I relaxed and enjoyed myself and met some really great people from my sister in laws family and friends. There were a few blips along the way - clashes in personalities and what not - but I suppose that's what you get when you travel with people you don't know too well, heck it happens when you are with the people you know best ...

... mind. We paid up (I think they ended up charging us $40 a day), and took off in a cab for the Punta Cana Resort and Club. We thought it was a half an hour or so, but it turned out to be nearly 2 hours away! That would have been fine except that I was sucking down water the whole time. Oops. The terrain was beautiful - cattle pastures, sugarcane fields, blue mountains in the distance. In the towns we saw dozens of blue-shirted ...

Just a few weeks after we got back from Europe, we took another drip down to the Dominican Republic. We stayed in Punta Cana for a few days and, in a complete departure from our Europe trip, did essentially nothing. We went scuba diving, enjoyed the beautiful beaches, and ...

... the sun went away and the rain clouds came out. It started raining - and for the rest of the trip it only stopped sporadically. <br><br>We hadn't really budgeted for the overpriced excursions as we were fresh out of college and making no money at this point - we really just intended to veg by the pool and now that wasn't an option. Luckily, I had some books and I was able ...

... range - early 20s - so the staff kept hovering around us. Male employees mostly, which made us extremely uncomfortable. Constantly making inappropriate comments, always trying to talk to us, eying us up and down - really did not make for an enjoyable time.<br><br>The food also started to become monotonous and was not very good...and then the trip really started to go down hill. <br>

... so I was ill prepared.<br><br>My roommate suggested that we try a club med - she had heard about them before and people seemed really happy going to them - she also liked the all-inclusive idea, which lets face it, I did too.<br><br>I flew out of Newark International and my roommate flew out of Charlotte...we were going to meet at another airport and then take the same flight to Dominican Republic. Her flight got delayed and the airline ...
