DR Part 1 -A Little Slice of Paradise

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

I’ve now posted stories and pictures from my fabulous trip to the Dominican Republic.
For once, I wrote my entires before hand…which may lead to a little confusion. Usually my site reads from the bottom up…but this time I’ve posted the entries in chronological order, part 1-5, this being part 1…the last being part 5.
Go ahead and read from here down and follow my little trip. Hey…keep reading if you haven’t seen the site lately.
I hope you enjoy reading this even one hundreth as much as I enjoyed this trip…at least a little anyway.
Cheers,
*Liz

DR Part 5 -La Dulce Vida (Dolce Vita)

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
I took to life in the resort with aplomb. As my skin browned I fell into an easy rhythm of relaxation. My days contained nothing more stressful then remembering to apply sunscreen. Aaaaahhhhhhh�I could get used to ... [Continue reading this entry]
