After that delicious breakfast at Casa Colonial, we headed to Extreme Hotels in Cabarete, about 45 minutes from Puerto Plata. I am so happy that I was introduced to this hotel because it's going to be in my future a lot. It's only $350 a week to stay there and only $600 for two weeks. I'm always looking for a getaway to collect myself and I've finally found my ...

Switching planes, bus rides, and the weather change put a toll on me. I was in bed early Friday night after dinner and caught up on some sleep. I woke up Saturday ...
