I thought about staying, I really did.
Who in their right mind would want to go from this . . .
to this?
Or this . . .
to this?
Since I had no connection to the outside world while on vacation on a resort in the Dominican Republic, I didn't know it was cold and snowy back home.
If I had, I just might have stayed on the beach until April.
But my sunburn was sunburned, there was sand where sand should never be, I ate so much that my shorts were beginning to get kind of tight, all of the green and sunshine was giving me a headache and I was tired of drinking pina coladas, delivered by very cute cabana boys.
Visiting Punta Cana was wonderful but I was ready to come home. Even if home was cold and snowy. Even if it meant I had to get back on several planes. Even if customs in a foreign county made me very nervous.
All I want now is a glass of ice tea with actual ICE and a big, juicy Nebraska beef hamburger!
It is so good to be back in the United States.
Now, back to normal.
And catching up on all that I missed while basking in the sun.

I don't know it looks pretty darn nice!!! We went to Costa Rica a few years ago. Loved it... just wish I could come & go as I please! That darn money & work thing gets in the way! Glad you had a safe trip home.

BEAUTIFUL photos, I am mighty jealous! We're in the thick of snow and ice at the moment too, so a dose of sunshine and pina coladas would go down a treat. I can dream, I suppose!

See, all that means is that you have created a nice life for yourself!
Vacations are great but give me my own bed.
Great images of paradise, sigh...
Oh that looked really nice! Glad you got to get away!
Looks like you had an awesome trip. Wonderful photos.
Good GRIEF Connie!!! Seriously - I can't decide if I'm drooling over the thought of drinks delivered on the beach in the sun by cute cabana boys OR the fact that you have snow! LOLOL
Heck - I'd take them both! LOL
