In this picture it is the resort directly behind the sailboat.

Hee Hee, topless sunbathing!!!

A lot of Canadians and Europeans vaca there, and they are more liberal. No offense intended, but you just don't see that at the Jersey Shore unless you're at a clothing optional beach!!

I kept telling my husband 'thank you' and when he finally asked 'what for' I told him for not wearing Speedos!! The rest of the vaca, all I had to say was 'thank you' and he knew there was a small Speedo in the immediate vacinity! Some things just aren't age or weight appropriate!

Adults are one thing, but I was uncomfortable with the number of young children playing in the surf without ANYTHING ON!!!! Of the multitudes on the beach on any given day, statistics dictate that there had to be at least one pedophile somewhere with a zoom lens.... THAT I found disturbing.

Just like the pictures of Kimberly's puppies, anything can show up on the Internet!

Really? You know that is soooo true. I wouldn't let my child run around naked for any reason in a public place I'm not at all offended by the topless people though. It would definitely make for an "interesting" trip I couldn't do it myself though!! We go to a place called Holden Beach and you don't see anything of the sort there. Rarely do we even spot a thong! LOL

UNREAL Pictures - what a fun relaxing time you must have had - HOW ARE YOU FEELING Sherry Lynn ?

Are you getting back to reality ?

[Jaspermom]

How are the prices there? Are there other activities? Do you know if there is good scuba diving?

Your pictures are AWESOME, and it looks like a place I would love to go!!! I'd say "welcome home", but you would probably sigh and look regretful, lol!

Yeah, and reality sucks!!

Had my final epidural on the 4th and went to the Drs last Monday. He gave me 2-3 more MONTHS of 'keeping the weight of my head off of my neck' so that scar tissue can grow and keep the disc in place without surgery!!! (That phrase just cracks me up-he doesn't realize what a BIG head I have or how hard it is for me to sit still!!)

So I'll be pending more time on YT the next couple of months. Longer if I lose my job over this whole odeal!!! Wonder if you can get unemployment after being on disability?

Dominican Republic has some of the best island deals you can find. We like to go to all-inclusive resorts, and they have plenty of activites. I just couldn't partake this trip because of a recent neck injury.

I don't scuba, but like to snorkel, and that's good down there. (I recall from the last time we were there.) The resort we were at had daily scuba lessons as part of the package, and the classes were always full, so I would guess it must be pretty good.

Bavara Beach is one of the nicest beaches I've ever been to, so I would highly recommend it. Hanging out locally isn't advisable, but as long as you don't leave the resorts you're okay.

Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous, I would love to go there one day. I absolutely love to snorkel and I hope to get dive certified one day
