Going on Vaca

Road King Cole · #1 04-16-2010, 09:44 AM

Can't seem to get any work done today. We are leaving sunday morning to the Dominican Republic for 6 nights of R&R at an all inclusive\adults only resort. Hopefully there will be some "worth looking at toplessness".

Been a long winter for us so we had booked this after my Mom died. I like to go earlier in the season so I don't miss good weather here, but the wife had to wait until school vaca. Definitely not missing any good weather this weekend!

I was afraid that I would be wanting to play with my boat rather than go away, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

My Boat is pretty much ready so hopefully when I get back, the stripers should be moving in soon!

Sounds like a much needed vaca for both of you. Be nice to relax and unwind, reflect and plan. By the time you get back maybe the weather will make it's final swing into the nice stuff.
Enjoy and if you do get a chance at some "worth looking at toplessness" don't forget your brothers here at home. Take pics. And plenty of them.

RKC - I know that feeling well. I might as well not go into work the day before a vacation or fishing trip. I'd get just as much done.

Have fun!

I don't think I'll have much success in getting good pic's in as the wife usually has the camera, she knows and frowns upon my motives.

"Hey Hun, take a picture of that nice palm tree with the coconuts."

Damn, I must be lucky. My wife points them out for me (think she is trying to tell me something?).

What resort is that? My wife and I went down there for our honeymoon 7 years ago. Beautiful country!

See ya in a week!

Took my girl (now Wifey and the coolest chick ever) there about 5 years ago,
It was really nice. We never left the grounds. And they say not to except with a large party going somewhere. It's pretty rough ride in a nice bus but your going through some poor parts for sure.

Ex is the farthest north drop the buses make I believe. It's almost a 45 min ride. Get a beer as soon as you get off the plane. I bought six for the ride. All we did was drink and eat lobster.
They also do a huge sort of low country cookout every day on the beach. Except they use a lot of lobster. My girl speaks spanish and they seemed to gravitate towards her at dinner wich helped my cause for sure. I already new the word "grande" and used it a lot when ordering lobster after lobster every night.....

Beach can be rough, horses looked beat and spooked. I opted not to ride. No insurance at the time and I could not imagine where I would have ended up if things got broken in a foreign country.

If you tip the help and tell them you want the in room cooler kept stocked with plenty of wine. They will do it for next to nothing. It costs them nothin anyway. Breakfast is awesome too in the big dining hall. Made to order eggs and great fruit as you can imagine. We tried to carry 2 bottles of wine on the plane ride home. No can do. wish we had drank them both on the bus ride to the airport.

Anyway, hope you have a fantastic trip dude!

Some of ya'll might remember Jodi.....
