In June we went to the Dominican Republic. We had a great time and returned home alive and well. Warning… this is a photo heavy post
We didn’t let the media stories and worried texts from from family and friends prevent us from enjoying our trip
We stayed at the Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus in Bayahibe. The resort was beautiful and the people were so friendly. We’ve been to several different Caribbean islands and the Dominicans were by far the friendliest. The beaches and water were more beautiful than any other island we’ve seen. I see why so many people go to the Dominican.

| We enjoyed the Star Prestige Beach Club |
The grounds and decor are stunning. We were in awe of the beauty of the resort

| There are different types of birds to see at the resort |
Ireland enjoyed the fish therapy and hair braiding

| She made a friend named Chocolate |
Dressel Divers Dive shop was located at our resort and we went on the Saona Island excursion

| Our boat for the trip to Saona |
We snorkeled on the way to the island and spent time on the boat drinking, listening to music and dancing. I really hope Ireland doesn’t read this post… she would be mad about the photos

| Ireland made a few friends on the boat ride |

| The beaches of Saona were so beautiful |
We had a wonderful time and never felt unsafe. I really hope the DR is not affected negatively by the recent events. Many of the hardworking people depend on tourism to survive and would never hurt any tourist.
On a different note… I bought a new Mac computer! After being without a computer for over a year (or two), I can look forward to blogging again… Using a phone to blog is no fun.
Ireland has matured into a beautiful young woman! Love the pictures! What a beautiful place to visit. Thanks!
So happy to see your post tonight! Your photos are lovely.
It surely does look like a fantastic place to visit but as you say, you know the main thing that has been on the news lately about the Dominican Republic!
Look forward to more posts this year from you!
I can't believe how old Ireland is, and beautiful I might add. Your vacation sounded wonderful Liz, so glad to see you posting again.
Beautiful picturesque beach and great pics

certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I will definitely come back again.
