For the last two years, my mother and I have traveled to Peurto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Although I hate staying in hotels, especially all inclusive.. that is where we have ended up for the last two years.. and we will again this March. The only reason that I am always so excited to go back is because I am so in love with the people and the country. We have been taken all around Peurto Plata by our good friend Andenson, (my future husband & my love at first sight victim. lol) and ever since then.. I have truly felt that Dominican is my second home. I really enjoy it there. Not only are the guys totally attractive.. but the country is just so unbelievably perfect. I love it! I can't wait to go ... read more

Freitag, 8. April, 4pm - endlich hat mein lang ersehnter Urlaub auf der Dominikanischen Republik begonnen. Keine fünf Minuten war ich auf meinem Zimmer, da klingelte auch schon das Telefon :) Benjamin (Tänzer aus der Dom.Rep., den ich vor 2 1/2 Jahren in Punta Cana kennen gelernt habe) wartete in der Lobby auf mich. Die Begrüssung war herzlich wenn auch kurz, da er sich bald auf die Show vorbereiten musste, für die er mir bereits ein Ticket organisiert hatte. Zur Info: Bengee arbeitet bei Ocean World, welches nur 10min zu Fuss vom meinem Resort entfernt liegt. Kurze Zeit später habe ich mit April, einer Frau mittleren Alters aus Miami, die ich im Shuttle kennengelernt habe, das Resort erkundschaftet. Die Anlage war wunderschön, der Strand ebenfalls, nur die Essenszeiten etwas gewöhnungsbedürfig (ab 5pm gabs kein Sushi mehr ... read more

Decending out of the rain clouds getting closer and closer to the waves below, I'm looking around saying where the fuck is the runway, I can see the ripples of the waves we're so close to the ocean, nice beachfront homes...then all of sudden out of nowhere the runway is there and the wheels touch the ground ( a few times as we bounce when we hit). I've arrived in the caribbean!! Time for sun and sand and....RAIN? ain't this a whore?! anyways I grab my luggage and head to get my passport stamped, you have to pay $10 for a tourist visa first then head over to get your stamp, the customs dude tries to bullshit a shitter asking for some dollars to stamp my passport, i give him $1.03 and tell him stamp my ... read more

Samedi 27 février 2010, Un mois est passé depuis notre dernier blogue et beaucoup de chemin a été parcouru depuis. Lors de notre dernière lettre nous étions sur le point de quitter les Exumas avec nos amis Carpe Ventum et Apothéose qui lui nous suivra jusqu’à Georgetown. Le lendemain matin, c’est le départ vers Georgetown mais nous en profitons pour arrêter à la marina d’Emerald Bay qui vient de ré-ouvrir au tarif incroyable de $0.50 le pied, nous y resterons 3 jours avec nos amis Apothéose. Emerald Bay, c’est un terrain de golf, des condos luxueux et un tout nouveau Club Sandals. La belle vie … quoi .De là ,nous continuerons vers Georgetown pour les derniers préparatifs et adieux. A Georgetown, nous ferons la connaissance de deux autres voiliers qui se joindront à nous pour la ... read more

We spent 5 sunny days in Maimon, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Riu Complex where the service was wonderful. The staff is incredibly happy and friendly. Most of our days were spent on the beach. We only did 2 excersions. Horseback riding and a city tour. The city tour consisted of a cable car ride, trip to the amber museum, trip to the amber/larimar factory, cigar factory, rum factory, fort of san fillippe and city of San Fillippe (Puerto Plata). The tour was nice but there isn't much to see in the city. The shopping was awful. I think that part of the trip was a waste of time. The cable car ride was incredible. I was completely terrified but am so glad I had the courage to go up. Eric was not ... read more

La République Dominicaine Lundi le 20 avril, déjà presque fini le mois d’avril et nous sommes loin de notre but. L’attente a au moins un bon côté, cela nous permet de visiter et de s’occuper du bateau. Alors côté travail : nous descendons enfin l’éolienne question de voir de près ce qui s’y passe. Après démontage en règle, on constate qu’un des roulements à billes sensé retenir l’axe du rotor en place est justement déplacé… Un tout petit « C clip » n’est pas dans sa rainure et le roulement à bille a glissé d’un pouce le long de l’axe; évidemment que dans cette situation, l’axe se promène dans le boitier, entrainant un frottement tel que rien ne peut tourner. La majeure partie de la journée y a passé malgré l’assistance fort appréciée de Will (Blue ... read more

The Domincan was beautiful and vibrant.. I was shocked by the culture, the people, the food and how amazing the locals were! I went with a boyfriend and was expecting to be locked up in our hotel never to be let out again untill 2 weeks later, but I discovered much much more and as it happend spent hardly any time in the Hotel! We landed in Puerto Plata we were greated by dancers and fruit and had are photgraphs taken ... A nice touch you would say!! The drive to the hotel was only 20 minutes away and it was so nice to see all the locals on scooters and motor cycles carrying water on there head along with there 3 kids in uniform on the back of there 2 seater... dont get me wrong ... read more
