Family Vacation

Punta Cana, on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, is what Caribbean postcards are made of: twenty-five miles of white sand, swaying coconut trees and more than 35 resorts (which by law cannot be taller than a palm tree). European tourists long ago discovered Punta Cana and Americans are now catching on. At this affordable tropical getaway, most guests choose to stay in all-inclusive resorts. The town itself isn't a tourist draw; the primary purpose of Punta Cana is relaxation by the sea.

I managed to run or walk ever day on the beach (tough life), and we did a little sports fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking. Jim, MB, Adam and Dan joined Sue, Jill, Amanda and me on the trip, we had a blast and it was a great family trip!
