Heading for Puerto Plata March 4-11. Can hardly wait! This is only my second Sunshine trip and this year I'm going on my own. So wanted to document how it went both for myself and for my friends




hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I got home safe and sound. Got checked out of the hotel around 1130 and then hung out in the lobby. Visited with a couple that I had met on the flight over and on the excursion I took. We went and got a bite to eat when the buffet opened at 1 and then onto the bus to the airport at 135. I think I napped a bit on the bus because it didn't seem like an hour trip. Got to the airport and checked in. Hit a few of the shops there and bought a couple little souveniers then up to the departure gate. had about 2 hours to wait so lots of time. met up with 3 ladies and we grabbed a drink and ... read more


Hey all Well it's overcast and cool this morning. Ok, well in the scheme of things I guess cool isn't really the truth (I'm still in a bathing suit and cover up right??) Hope things thaw out there before I come home tomorrow night. I'm sad that today is my last full day. But on the other hand I think I'm just about ready to get back home to my own stuff -- bed, routine, shower etc. I don't even want to think of how much weight I've put on here. The food is good and there is always lots of it. Hard to stop at just one. Same thing with the drinks. Dirty Monkeys rule!! I've met some super people this trip though and had lots of fun even if I haven't done much off ... read more


hola again well figured I would try to get online this afternoon. evenings are really busy and well I slept thru my normal morning time. LOL Must have been all the dancing I did on Saturday finally catch up to me Anyways, things are going very well here. Sun is shining most of the time. Its still pretty cool down on the beach due to the wind but up by the main pool its fantastic. Ate at the Mexican restaurant last night. Fantastic.....amazing I actgually enjoyed it more than the italian restaurant. Going to the meditareanian restaurant tonight so will see what its like. Other than that, Im just visiting with folks that I meet and relaxing Met one lady that I knew on our plane. Then one of the couples I met -- he so ... read more


Hey all Well, last night was a BLAST. spent the day on the beach and at the pool again. Then off to get ready for my one and only excursion. Went on the "Dominican Rythyms" trip. Picked up at the lobby at 5 and onto a thatched roof/open bus. Started off with shots of rum and sprite (Santa Libre's) and went from there. Real party atmosphere We stopped at a gorgeous beach by Playa Grande (true clean soft sand great waves) Spent enough time there to be swarmed by the vendors and see the sunset. I got a pina coloda in coconut --YUM. Think I'm starting to like rum LOL From there we were off to see a "voodoo show" Interesting to say the least. I got a video of the whole trip so will share ... read more


Hola from Bahia wow, day 4 already. Today dawned clear and sunny with very little wind. A nice change :) HOpefully the ocean will be a bit calmer today. Then I will go wading a bit. Heading to the pool for a bit of sun again today (actually got a chair this morning). Tonight I am going on my Domincan Rythyms excursion. Bus travel (with drinks of course) then to a show and stopping at one of the bars for some dancing. Lots of Merengue here, and some bachata. love the music though and totally enjoying the shows here at the resort. Got on stage again last night for one :) Also meeting a lot of really nice people. One couple at the pool yesterday and then another couple, and 2 ladies when I was at ... read more


Hey all. it's about 8 am here and I actually got onto the club internet (2 computers & lots of people). Only 15 mintues alloted each Weather was overcast most of yesterday but I did manange to get some sun. Today is clear so It should be a great day to relax on the beach. Ocean has been really rough and they aren't recommending swiming so I haven't done much more than stick my toes in. Did go in the pool though. Last night i caught the stage show. Very well done. They started with a kids portion then into the adult show. i even got up on stage to do a little salsa with one of the staff (yay) Ok, so here are a few of my pictures if I can get them. Nope that ... read more


Hey all. just a quick update got into the resort about 730 last night. found my room, got my luggage then wandered around. it is warm and humid. they have had lots of rain as well (and it rained overnight). But looks like the clouds are clearing off and it should be a nice day. Just have a minute on the internet but will log on later. Have to figure out how to download pictures LOL Very nice here. Room is large and clean. and just steps from the pool the beach and the bar. Met some nice people on the plane (from Red Deer) and had supper with 2 ladies (mother and daughter) from the Lloyd area. Will get back with pictures and more details later.... read more


Good morning all. Up early today. Was amazed i was actually able to settle in and get a couple hours sleep last night but I did. Up at 3, on the road just after 4. It was extremely foggy for about half the trip to calgary. Not fun at all. Roads seemed ok though and I didn't have any troubles But I made it to the park n jet by 6 and into the airport. Busy at security but I didn't have any problems Now just sitting at the gate waiting to board. Plane just pulled in so hopefully everything is on time. next update will be from the resort. Talk to you later.... read more
