Destination : Dominican Republic

Well, we've finally decided. It was tough work, I tell ya.  SO....

Dominican Republic, it is!  Though, heh, it's not even one of the hotels I posted down there.  It's this one instead:

Paradisus Punta Cana

We started looking at all-inclusive resorts and fell in love with this one.  My favorite aspect was the abundance of beds on the beach.  Comfy beds, people.  ON THE BEACH.  Tango's favorite aspect was the swim-up bar.  Because, apparently, rum + swimming= GOOD TIMES.

Thanks to all for your input.  And especially thanks to everyone who sent me emails with pictures and to those who allowed me to stalk their flickr sets (ahemJennsterahem).

Not jealous enough? Want more pictures?

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, my pessimistic and semi-racist father seems to think we'll get kidnapped and tortured by locals because they don't like white people there.

But the way we see it?  That's fine with us, as long as they keep us somewhere near this powdery white sand beach. And rum.  We'll demand plenty of rum.

Please don't attempt to rescue us.

Hey! I'm Dominican - I'm proud you're going to visit the island where I was born. I'm a city girl, but those all-inclusive hotels are perfect for honeymoons. If you have time, try to visit the artist's colony at Altos De Chavon. I wanted to get married there!

HA! Well your father is probably right, but only if you attempt to go venture out on your own outside the boundaries of the resort.... I did this once in Jamaica .. NOT RECOMMENDED! You'll have a blast, swim up bars rock!

Venturing out of the resort is EXCELLENT. Especially if you're into overpriced illegal drugs.

I just returned from my honeymoon but ooooooh I am jealous. SWIM UP BAR. Holy lordy, woman. Sell everything you own before you go and you'll have more $$ to spend on run and stay a few extra days (weeks? months?). I hope you enjoy every sex-filled (too much?), love-filled, alcohol-filled day.
