Punta Cana Travel Blogs

We stayed at Iberostar Bavaro/Dominica/Punta Cana Resort.  All inclusive.  The beaches & resort were very nice.   The food was pretty good, but the beaches, resort, crowd, and nightlife were excellent.   We met so many cool people (staff and other tourists). Our rooms we…

I must start off stating How exited I was going on this trip. This was my first international trip outside the US. I have visited Toronto, Ontario, Canada before but for the record this was the one. I mentioned to my son Elliot (cabotono) my desire to go to the Dominican Republic. This was really o…

                When my dad called me up to see if I could take some time off to go away with the family for my mom’s birthday I didn’t hesitate to say yes! What a better way to spend a vacation then with my family! …

Pictures of past Sojourns and Random Photos

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…

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…

An Island Getaway

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…

Celebrating our 28th birthday

   Dominican Republic is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I have never seen water so blue before, or sand so pure white and soft. It was gorgeous. The hotel I stayed at--the Occidental Flamenco Bavaro, was luxurious and exciting, filled with endless things to do. The po…

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.

I spent grad school spring break with 29 of my closest friends in the Dominican Republic this year. The resort, Barcelo Bavaro Beach, wasn't much to write home about, but it was amazing to be on the beach for a week and away from snowy Boston! (And pretty good value for the small price we paid...) Mostly pictures, but if you have questions about the resort, feel free to ask!

Unas vacaciones para descansar y desconectar por completo.
