Home Sweet Home

I definitely failed at blogging at all yesterday due to the hectic day.  As I said before, we were bumped off the flight on Wednesday (they “cancelled” the flight, yet it still took off).  So we were not assigned seats from Miami to Chicago thus being put on the standby list which is pretty crappy […]

Day 8: Today is the day…well maybe not…

We went to the airport to check in for our flight home, and the guy behind the counter said…”Um we have a little bit of a problem.”  Apparently American Airlines changed our itinerary without telling us.  I have an itinerary that says we are to fly out today at 3, but their computer says tomorrow […]

Day 7: Sun and Sun and Sun

We finally made it to the beach today.  The real beach with other people and beautiful white sand.  Unfortunately, I turned into a lobster. And Kevin, he barely looks like he got any color at all.  How rude!  I even put tons of sunscreen on. That is all we did today though.  Drove to Cabarete […]

Day 6: Sick day = Lazy day #2

I went to bed miserable last night, so the whole night was miserable.  I’ve come to the conclusion that it is a mixture of allergies and exhaustion.  I didn’t sleep at all last night and woke up with big black rings around my eyes…super attractive I know.  Poor Kevin probably didn’t sleep much either with […]

Day 5: “Lazy Day”

We woke up this morning to Grandpa asking if we could have a lazy day today.  Considering we have been running non-stop, we thought, ‘sure what the heck’.  Well there is a reason that I put lazy day in quotes.  We ended up going to the bus station to find out about the route to […]

Day 4: Bug Bites and Dehydration and Allergies

I’m going to cut this one short tonight for two reasons:  First, Kevin says I type too much and tell everyone too much and we won’t have enough to tell anyone when we get back, and Second, I’m dehydrated and my allergies have decided to attack me causing a terrible headache.  The sun is a […]

Day 3: Sun and Sand and Alcohol

We spent some more time on the beach today.  Grandpa has a favorite “bar” he likes to go to, so we have frequented it quite a bit.  He is actually headed there now with Anna.  Kevin and I are gonna sit this one out.  I use bar in quotes because it is actually just a […]

Day 2: Hello Traffic!

I have never been more thankful for the traffic laws in the United States than I am now.  The drivers here are CRAZY!  The motocoches (motorcycles) are everywhere and they weave in and out of traffic like they own the place.  The lines on the road are just suggestions, and so are the stop lights. […]

Day 1: Finally Here

We have had quite an eventful last two days.  First off I want to made the announcement that I have been awake since 5:30am Tuesday morning…so with this being 8pm Wednesday night, I probably won’t make much sense at all, but I am going to try nonetheless. Tuesday night started out pretty uneventful.  We drove […]
