Well, I called my folks last night and asked if Ami & I left for a week, if between them and my MIL/SIL, they'd be able to watch Colt. The said they would. My wife and I have been talking and have been wishy-washy. We don't know if we wanna take advantage of a good deal now, or just wait until we are basically debt-free and go somewhere not based on a "deal".
We're also on fence about taking Colt. I'd love to do it, but it'd cost more, there's added dedication that it takes to be a parent, and well...it's just something we'd like to take a break from for the first time in five years. Y'all know what I mean...
Today, Mom called. She said that they'd pay for Colt, they'd come along, and watch Colt a good bit so we could enjoy ourselves there.
So, I guess now it's time to hash out the details. I'm somewhat excited, but not too much since I've been to Punta Cana before. We'll actually be next door to where we were last time, so that'll be cool. Last time was 7 nights, this time will be 6. We did three excursions on the last trip; hopefully my folks will take Colt out on an excursion or two while we just chill at the resort.
Have any of y'all been to Punta Cana? If so, any items that are just a "must". I'm gonna try to keep it low budget. If I can hook up with some folks down there who wanna fish, I may try to split a charter. Other than that, I don't recall anything that I'm just dying to do again.
Zip line through the canopy is a good family activity.
Don't get talked into snorkeling near Punta Cana since it is on the Atlantic side. If you do make sure it is off the Caribbean coast.
