Wow. It's been an amazing trip so far. All inclusive is dangerous for the food that you can eat at any time and the drinks. Did you know the Dominican Republic was known for their rum?

Soooo, met another Mainer today. This time on an excursion to go snorkeling. I don't snorkel, so I went for the boat ride. These guys really know how to get the party started!

 

They are so nice, and so happy!

But then when one of the guys yelled, 'Piranhas!' I thought that was odd...and then he fed them bread and then I thought, 'Glad I'm NOT snorkeling!!'

 

So those Domincan's have a wicked sense of humor. Those were groupers NOT piranhas! Seriously, I wasn't the only one fooled!

It was a lovely trip and I very much enjoyed staying on the boat. That's where I met Lori from Buckfield. She asked if I was from Maine and if my name was Lori. She then asked if I was still on the radio. Ahhhh, an ex listener...hey, it counted at one point. Two Mainers in one Dominican Republic trip is pretty good I think.

So, it's been a lot of fun, food and oh right...the punishment! Let's just say that Jen's approach to parenting is all love and support. Mine is more like my dad's. A bit filled with terror and humor. Ya know, to keep them guessing. Here's what the vacation has broken down into:

 

The kids have been great and having a blast and so have I. It's amazing what sleeping 8-10 hours a day and warm sunshine does for a person. I heard there was freezing rain in Maine. I'm pushing this warm weather up there as hard as I can!
