Honeymoon

We got to the DR a day late, but luckily we got to the hotel safe and sound after an interesting ride. It was really interesting to see Puerto Plata and the outskirts on the way to the resort. We definatel had some issues with the resort, but overall the DR was fun. It rained most of the time we were there, but that didn't really damper things.


It really is so beautiful there
Us finally getting to the DR

I thought it was hilarious that they put flowers in the toilet

We took a nice walk on the beach at night

Hal pre-shaved: he hadn't shaved since our wedding

Hal Bean after he shaved

These were my favorite part of the resort, these lights were so pretty

This is my favorite picture ever!!

This was our last night at the resort

Right before the magician started


This is the awesome magician who pulled a duck out that peed all over the stage, and he put a bunny and 3 birds in a box and pulled out a goat, it was so sweet.

This is in the airport leaving the DR

DR from the airplane
Once again we had some airplane issues coming home including buying tickets on another airline and sleeping in the Las Vegas airport.
So...to make up for the bad times and bad moods about our honeymoon we bought a Wii with the remaning cash. And to make it even better for our anniversary Hal bought me a Wii fit. yay! So now all of you can come and visit and play wii fit with us.

New York, New York

So finally we got our wireless up and running so I can post some pictures of our Honeymoon. We had an...intereseting honeymoon. New York was amazing, and I highly suggest going. What I do not suggest is ever traveling on buddy passes, they are the spawn of the devil. I will split the posts into two one for the DR, and one for New York.

Can you find me? We'e getting out at Pen Station

On the long island rail road going into the city
We had so much fun in New York. Because of evil flights we had 2 nights in New York. We didn't have the camera for the second night because we didn't think we'd be in the city too long. We actually were there longer and it was awesome. We saw Rockefeller Center, Sack's 5th Ave, St. Patrick Church, and we even took a subway out of Grand Cental Station. Both of us were so excited to have another night on the way back to Salt Lake, but we ended up taking an earlier flight. We met a New Yorker on the flight to the DR, and he was on our flight back. He told us of a bunch of cool places to visit on the edge of SoHo. I want to go back so badly now!

Finally!

We have finally booked our honeymoon. Yes, I know how last minute we planned it, but we ended up planning multiple honeymoons just to have none of them work out. So...Hal and I are leaving on Saturday for JFK where we will spend the day because our flight doesn't go out until Sunday. I am so excited to be in New York for a day each way. Well, New York is our stop to



Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic! Yay, I am so excited because the DR was our original choice.













I am so excited, it has kind of snuck up on me because we planned it so last minute, but luckily we were able to get some awesome last minute deals.
