It was the second day of the trip and I was revved up and ready to go! I was so tired when I first got there. I had to leave the house at 4am to catch my flight and I made it to Puerto Plata by 4pm.

I kept playing with the thermostat, changing my clothes, and switching up blankets. I finally fell asleep around three, but Grumples woke me up at five to go to the bathroom. He has never done that ...
