Dominican Republic
Ticking off another new country, and slowly making our way through the Caribbean. Live Aqua Punta Cana is part of one of the largest Mexican hotel chains, Fiesta Americana, and as befits the name, there are water features everywhere... and oddly... an affinity for rubber ducks?
Days 1/2: with non non-stop flights from Los Angeles to the Dominican Republic, ended up with an overnight layover in Houston before connecting to Punta Cana.
Day 3: properly exploring the hotel, enjoying the heat, and a bit more of just how mediocre resort food can be. At least it's pretty.
Days 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8: working remotely while at an all-inclusive resort at least means ample gym time to offset the calories.
Day 9: a bit of annoyance at the hotel for asking us to leave for the airport so early, but at least Punta Cana has a nice enough airport, despite the bus gates.
