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 ...
Breakfast at Iberostar Costa Dorada, DR
It's the not sunshine or the beautiful beaches that I miss about the Dominican Republic; it's the coffee. I was so exited waking up in the morning because that meant, coffee!

I was still full from the delicious Dominican food that was ...

Sea Horse Villa Breakfast: Mangu, Fried Eggs & Fresh Fruit!
It rained all night and morning. It sounded like one of those therapuetic cd's that are played in spa's, not that I've been to many spas, but the ones I have been in. I didn't sleep very well, I'm not used to being in a place so big and open. Let's be honest, I'm a chicken. I'm afraid of the dark and afraid of strangers. I get nightmares often about getting kidnapped ...
