Well, I am back from another great trip to the DR . Warning ? really long. This time we stayed at Eddy?s Condos Dominicano, which I highly recommend. It was perfect for us? perfect price and perfect size (if not bigger than what we needed). Having our own totally equipped kitchen helped us...

First, let me say a general word about Pan American Airlines? BAD. That?s the word that comes mind. After being informed before I left that due to a scheduling change I would have to spend a night in Newark NJ courtesy of PanAm before heading home, I was a little miffed, but apathetic since...
