... Have I mentioned how awesomely nice they are...here are the things I learned. Fact #1: Always ask Dominicans about their family...they love showing you pictures and talking about them...especially their children. Fact #2: Just because a Dominican man is married and has a 2 month old son, does not mean he won't do his best to hit on you.

... that serves as a dining/living room. Downstairs at the EF are offices, labs and classrooms.<br><br> After showering and unpacking, I meet the girls from the study abroad group on their way to the Club and I join them.

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.

... the service was not so great and that could be due to the size of it and having to deal with so many people. I wrote a review on the hotel on trip advisor, as its my review it's my opinion on the hotel, some people like it, others not so much, that's the way life goes!

Then we got to the beach, and everything changed. The restaurant is a massive, open air, two story structure sailing above the beach. It's all in ...

... tried to learn how to windsurf. We also went swimming with sea lions, a highlight for me. It was a great trip, although the last day and the few days after were unfortunately ruined by both of us getting pretty sick...Montezuma's Revenge claimed its latest victims!<br>

... keep myself entertained with them - but my roommate didn't and the spanish speaking television wasn't working for her.<br><br>Needless to say, the remainder of the week turned out to be a bust - and it was a long week. Now I do my research ahead of time to make sure I'm going to a place in the appropriate season. I also know to check out hotel and resort information to ...

... things really started to bother me. The hotel really tries to get you to interact with staff and other guests - which just really isn't my style. I don't like to make small talk and I don't like to be put into these situations...Well, at club med they sit you at large tables with guests and their staff also comes to sit with you as well.<br><br>We were the only guests there in our ...
