Joe and I just got back from an amazing jaunt to Punta Cana, on the Domincan Republic. We had an amazing time. We stayed at the Excellence Punta Cana. To anyone looking for a nice Caribbean get away, I highly recommend this place. Beautiful grounds, fantastic pools, gorgeous beach views, cabanas, pina coladas, and some of the friendliest staff in history.
We arrived on Thursday afternoon, and went right to the beach and had our first taste of the frozen drink. Not much sun left, but not to worry we were on the beach and out of the snow! Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent sunning ourselves at the pool and beach every day, snacking at the Excellence club in the hotel, eating at one of their 9 restaurants, watching a little playoff football, and drinking every and any amazing rum drinks- in and out of coconuts. The staff is so friendly and helpful, you really don't want to leave. So you can only imagine what flying back home into Newark in the dead cold of winter must've felt like. Never again. Here are a few picks from the trip.

| My only shot of food the whole trip, shocking. Surf n Turf Caribbean-style. Not like Maine, that's for sure |

 |
| Happy. |
