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 […]
Storms + Storms + Storms
Storms in Chicago, Storms in Miami, Tropical Storm Warning in the Dominican Republic. Excellente! Guess we will just have to see how it goes! Nonetheless we are headed to Chicago in about two hours!!!!!
T minus 2 days
Everything is coming together quite nicely. We are finally in the home stretch for leaving. Today was filled with laundry, cleaning, and packing.

And the Shopping continues!
Yesterday was such a success on the shopping front. I walked away with four new dresses and one new skirt. Now I officially have a dress to wear for each day. Yay! Kevin even shopped and walked away with a pair of shorts, a pair of swimming trunks, and four shirts. And he survived doing […]
=( =( =( =(
Well it’s done…for 6 months at least when I go back for my second one.
Shots and Medicine and Shots and SHOTS?!?
Malaria, Tetanus, Hep A … oh my! Note to Self: No more trips that require any immunizations AT ALL!!!!!! I know that is totally unrealistic, but I was NOT a happy camper when I found out that I needed shots for this trip. With it being more last minute than planned, all of it snuck […]
Spanish Overload.
I have put my mind to it. And as many know, once I put my mind to something, I will succeed! With exactly 3 weeks until we are sitting on the beach, I don’t have much time. I have decided that I NEED to refresh my Spanish for this trip. Not only to help us […]
