We chose to ride dune buggies for our excursion outside the resort in Punta Cana. A bus took us about 30 minutes from the resort to a large operation built just for resort tourists like us. Seemed like they ran several groups in the morning and afternoon. We drove on side roads mainly, some paved,Continue reading “No-Dune Dune Buggy”

Wellness in the DR
Ben and I took a break from our RV travels to visit the Dominican Republic with our friends Laurie and Jordan. Lara was kind enough to watch Cody for us. Cody enjoyed having a dog door and the freedom it brings. Here’s my typical shot from the plane. It became very flat near the coastContinue reading “Wellness in the DR”
Beach Day Finale
We chose to hit the beach the last two days of our stay in Guanacaste. The first day we ventured north to Playa Panama. It was a very quiet beach, and we enjoyed it. All 3 of us got burnt. It was cloudy, and I didn’t put sunscreen on until we got to the beach.Continue reading “Beach Day Finale”

There was a route that was only 20 minutes, but we didn’t make it through the shortcut road. ItContinue reading “Animal Sanctuary”

Catamarans and Street Food
Today was a busy day…starting at 3:30am. Gotta love this internal clock that runs on Eastern Time. At least I had plenty of time to get to the beach for sunrise! It was serene, and no one else was out. I enjoyed taking a few photos and practicing with the camera. One bird was myContinue reading “Catamarans and Street Food”

I’m out of practice in a lot of things travel, not the least editing this blog! Time to knock the rust off an continue my travelContinue reading “It’s Been a While!”
