Just booked a vacation

[Deleted]

I just sent in our final reservation form for a trip to Punta Cana next month. It's just a cheap little trip, but I'm not sure I've ever been so excited about a vacation - because I've never needed one so badly before! Our last "real" vacation (meaning where we got to relax) was to Jamaica in the summer of 2009. We started the adoption process after that, and ate up all of our time off (and money!) with adoption related travel.

Then in 2011, I tagged along with DH to a conference in Vegas and planned to lay by the pool for five days, but we both came down with a horrible stomach virus. We even had to delay our flight home so we could spend an extra day puking in our hotel room. That was awesome.

All other trips we've done with our LO, which of course was wonderful, but we definitely don't come home feeling rested. This is our first trip to an all inclusive, which I've never been interested in before, as I like to do a lot of sight seeing and trying out local restaurants. However, I'm so tired these days that I can't wait to just lay on the beach reading a book for a week.

Oh, and I'll be slathering on the spf 50 and wearing a floppy hat at all times so I don't undo all the work I've put into my skin!

Five more weeks . . .

I would also love some book recommendations!

I like mindless reading for beach trips. In Jamaica I read the entire Twilight series.

Yay! We honeymooned in Punta Cana, and we loved it! Enjoy!

What resort are you staying at? I want to do an AI for our next trip, which will hopefully be a baby moon!

As for books, anything sophie kinsella is easy reading.

Ooooooo, DH just booked the flight, and I'm flying first class. Woot woot! He's in coach. Ha ha ha ha! Apparently only one coach seat was available with FF miles.

1st class is the best! You'll have such a great time! All inclusive is awesome because you don't have to worry about how much money you're spending, where your next meal will come from- jealous!

And now I am asking myself if I need an OG or OMG bag for the trip. LOL. DON'T LET ME DO IT!!!
