Hello folks! I've officially arrived in the Dominican Republic! Got in yesterday and spent an evening chillaxing with the fambily. Joan has scored a kick-ass apartment that overlooks the big swath of water that starts with a C and pirates sailed on it in a movie with Johnny Depp. I'm using a MAC and I don't know how to work the spell check so I don't know how to spell it. I'm also cranky because I'm a little hungry. But we're going to a party, a fiesta, if you will, at the Ambassador's house in a little while so I'm saving my belly for that. But in the meantime I'm cranky. Using... er... trying to use a mac is making me crankier.
The lowdown - the flights were terribly uneventful, and as I'm used to traveling to Asia, the 12 hour travel time seemed like a walk in the park in comparison. The driver who was supposed to pick me up at the airport didn't actually write my name down on the board he had, he just help up the board with the company name on it, so I waited around for 15 minutes or so before calling my sister and figuring it all out. Once that was all sorted, I was driven to my sister's apartment and just hung out here for the evening. Eventually she and her family (including me) will move into a house in a more residential area, but for now we're in the apartment, which is vast and had 4 bathrooms. There was much chatting and laughing and then Joan and Dave and I ate nachos.
Oh and the rum and coke's here are really good.
Too good.
