Just Another Day in Paradise

I´m loving it, so is the Geek. Went on an excursion around the southern tip of D.R. yesterday. Very interesting, think Thailand countryside and building methods, Guam style food. We felt right at home. Went shopping on the economy this morning, think pushy vendors on St Maartin´s. Dinner, think European style dining, umpteen courses, rich black coffee, fabulous desserts. Wonderful day at the beach, these guys do not stint on the alcohol or service. We´ve had no problems with any of the normal travellers complaints, knock on wood.

Yes, there are some punctuation and spelling problems in these posts. The computer is insisting on typing in Espanol. The employees get a kick out of our bad Spanish.

I don´t want to go home.

Yes Jinx, there is a casino. The resort trolley stops at it every 20 minutes. But you can smoke anywhere you want here so you don´t have to go to the casino for a cig.

Time for my late night mochachino. BTW, the food is fantastic and there is plenty of it.

ok, this sounds wonderful. Cia is thinking this might be more fun than a cruise. I want to know what you have to pay for after the initial investment. How much are the drinks, dinner and stuff like that.

We paid nothing but tips. Couple of dollars a day to the maid. A dollar every second trip the waiter made to the pool bar for us. Eight to ten buks per ala carte dinner. Tip to the excursion crew. We nearly spent as much at the airports as we did in the hotel. I'll be figuring up the costs sometime this week and will let you know.
