Punta Cana May 2018 - 2

     Well I have been in Punta Cana for 3 nights, tonight is my last night.  It has been fun.  My room is a big suite.  I have a living room with a couch and a bar and a desk and big screen tv.  Although I did not use any of them!  There is also a powder room.  Through sliding doors is a large bedroom with a king bed and large TV.  Connected directly to the bedroom is a wash room on one side with two sinks, hair dryer and wall length mirror on the right side are 2 closets and in the middle is a bath tub.  There are 2 doors.  One is for the toilet and one is the shower.  Very nice.

     I have eaten in 3 of the restaurants.  The best was the Italian restaurant.  I had a squash soup that was spicey  and excellent.  I had Osso Buca that was great.  There are bars everywhere and of course all the food and drink is included.  The wedding that I came for was nice and the party fun.  I was however, unable to keep up with the day-drinking.  Michael and Nancy and Mr. and Mrs May are seasoned veterans and I just could not do it.

     I would come to another all-inclusive in the winter but maybe try somewhere new.  It was well worth the money.  Now I just fly home tomorrow and then wait for 23 June when I leave for Deautschland!

Punta Cana 1

     Today I am leaving for 4 nights in Punta Cana in the DR.  I know this is not my normal trip.  But a friend's son, who I have known since he was born, is having a wedding party there.  We are staying at some place called Mirage?
     Anyway, it is 3:20 in the morning and the car is coming at 4:00 am!  This is because the flight is supposed to leave at 6:20 am.  The flight is going to be 4 hours so I should be there and in my room by 11:15 am.  I will then probably nap.  I have a king suite with balcony  and hot tub.  All the food/meals and drink are included in the price.
      So I will find out what this is all about.  Maybe I will like this kind of vacation and begin to do it once a year?  Or maybe I won't like it at all and will never see a beach again.  I will write about what it is like later.
