Have you missed me yet? 🙂
I´m in the Dominican Republic on my vacation. Here are some of the observations I wanted to share with you:
1. Flight attendants have come up with a new way to torture the English language. Now, when you arrive at your destination, they ask you to “deplane the aircraft.”
2. It´s great to lose the watch and the cell phone for two weeks.
3. It is A LOT hotter in Southern Illinois than in Punta Cana.
4. When an airplane from Moscow arrives in the DR, a crowd of hugely drunk people spills out making me feel extremely embarrassed.
5. The Dominican men have no idea how to communicate with a couple where the woman is “the active subject” (asks and answers questions, orders food for both, etc.) This causes them intense discomfort and they keep trying to speak to “el señor” even when the señor resists.
6. The Internet in the DR has not improved in the 5 years that I haven´t been here.
7. Never again will I allow another 5 years to elapse witout going to an all-inclusive resort because this is the best kind of vacation for me.
