We got up relatively early today to have breakfast! Not gunna lie, the breakfast was really good and I kind of wish we had it more than twice, but at the same time I like my sleep so I'm not too worried about it. We were at breakfast at about 9:30am and went back to our rooms to pack at 10ish. We h…

2007 Global Health Education Forum gave me the chance to spend a week in a beautiful nation with a few good friends. We presented a poster from our work in Buenos Aires in 2006.

Our flight from Santo Domingo was late in the afternoon, so our group decided to do the ship's tour of the city.  By taking this tour, we not only got to see some sights, but also transfers to the airport, and early disembarkation from the ship.  Around 9:00 am, we met in the ship's theat…

All pics were taken by myself or professional photog, Greg Kessler, on a Real Simple travel article assignment.

So, today was our deep sea fishing day. We took off from the hotel with two other guys (so, me, my boyfriend and two other, 4 people) and drove to the boat shop. Ok- sketchy moment, this place is like behind a resort, with really nothing there except a beam with some rope on presumably to hang your…

I've been meaning to do this for a while now. Finally, I'm posting some random photos from my last 5 years of traveling. Just sharing the beauty of this world - enjoy! =) ***Still not finished uploading ALL the photos, so check back again later!***

An Island Getaway

Holiday in The Dominican Republic, Samana, Las Terrenas.

A surprising treat on this Caribbean island warm people with big hearts, lots of smiles and laughter. I decided to take my daughter who invited her friend and we had a ball!

My friends and I flew into Santiago and made our way by taxi to Sosua. If you ever look at a map of the D.R. you will see that there is only one road through the country. The road is barely adequate to be called just that. It is windy, narrow and washed out in most places. However, we made the 1 ho…

Hayo Mayor.  Right now I wish to be back there.  I went for nine days on a missions trip.  We worked in med clinics, vacation bible schools, visited churches, and held services in the local villages.  When I came back it was so hard to describe to people what happened there.&nbs…

My friend and I did what we have been promising ourselves for the past 27 years.  We went on an exotic holiday (my friends first time off of North American continent) We left our men behind and had a vaction only long time friends can truly have.

So i went to Punta Cana, DR in February 2007. We stayed at the Iberostar Bavaro. And let's just say it was the best place i've been so far!

There is a very strange story behind  this destination.  I went to Dominican twice and was told that I would see my father in my dreams when I got there.  My father died of lung cancer the previous June.  For 2 weeks before he died, two finches(birds) would tap on the window all…
