A tropical vacation - finally!

We just booked our vacation in June with our best friends! Dreams resort in La Romana Dominican Republic for 5 nights :) I'm so excited and I can't stop looking at pictures of warm tropical locations. 

Re: A tropical vacation - finally!

  • That's so awesome!! I went on a mission trip ten years go to the DR and we stayed in la romana. I have very fond memories of that little city, although I'm sure you're in a completely different part of town, AND a lot has changed in ten years. I will say that it was safe enough for my 18 year old guy friend to walk me by himself to the center of town to call back home at the phone store. There were so many cool little shops with native things, and I remember this cool little ice cream shop. Sorry...again 100% different from where you'll be. Thanks for the trip down memory lane haha. Enjoy!! Are you guys planning on leaving the resort at all? Or just lounging and loafing?

  • I will add that we only stayed in la romana (although we did help build the hospital...remember... Ten years ago) but most of our time was spent wayy outside of the city. oh, and we didn't START the hospital ten years ago, they started it 13 years before... I don't want to freak you out or anything.

  • My friend and I plan on leaving the resort to explore the town one day when our boys go golfing. I'm not too worried about safety, but it's good to know that it should be ok. After all, I did just wander around India for 3 weeks with 2 other girls lol. 
  • I'm so jealous!! That sounds amazing. I'm assuming since it's a Dreams resort it's all-inclusive? THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE!!

    I really want to take a trip in June, since we'll officially start TTC after my half marathon on 6/9. I was thinking about a cruise since H has never been on one...but we LOVE all-inclusives SO MUCH, so maybe we'll save the cruise for a later day? Or maybe we'll just save our money and vacation time for our future kid, who knows!

    Yeah, it's the best all-inclusive we could find (we got it through a half off special kayak.com was having) It includes all food, any restaurant with no reservations needed, domestic and imported alcohol, non-alcoholic beverages, non-motorized water sports like kayaks, catamarans, wind boards, etc. and because we booked our flight at the same time we got $200.00 resort credit (for the spa lol) and free ground transport. It was a pretty sweet deal.

    SWEET! That IS a good deal! But let me be honest - I love ANY deal that includes booze!

  • Noron: do it now!! Honestly, we took 2 cruised and went to an all inclusive since getting married, and I still wish we could have fit one more in (we would have gone on a cruise this April, but they threatened to take away some days if we had many more snow days).

  • That sounds like so much fun! I've always wanted to visit the dr but have not had a chance to yet. You'll have to share all kinds of pictures so we can live vicariously through you!

     noron, I agree...take a trip now! I kind of regret having to cancel our "babymoon". The extra money for baby stuff is nice but a last vacation with only DH would have been better.
