30 year anniversary
Ok fellow celler dwellers ,
Looking for advice , 30 year anniversary ,
warm, tropical, cheap
PR , or USVI ???
I envision warm tidy bowl blue water , Killer snorkeling , Strong Dark rum drinks , all inclusive resort , privet pool ???
Any suggestions ??
I know a group of people who went to
Punta Cana this year to celebrate someone's birthday. They liked it. Haven't been there myself.
Punta Cana, which literally translates to "kick ass".
the ass out of which i am speaking to you now
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain ...
“Punta” means
Tip,
Point; or,
Cape in the geographical sense (as a bit of land that extends to water). “Punta Cana” basically means
Point of the Cana or
Cana Point. "Cana" is the colloquial name of a native palm species that was an important building material in the country. The thatched roofs of Punta Cana International Airport are made out of that.
The palm tree was an important resource for the native Taino people, and some of the earliest anthropological evidence of human life in the Dominican Republic shows the importance of the palm leaf in Taino culture. The Taino used the leaves for sustenance and survival, fashioning clothing and tools out of the leaves. This art has not been lost as cana hats are still popular with workers on the resort, and woven baskets, known as “macutos,” are sold throughout the region. The Taino legacy also lives on in one other important way: the words “cana” and “macuto” are both Taino in origin and are used in Punta Cana to discuss palm leaves.
I know I posted this earlier, but:

Trips away from home are always a crap shoot, but that sounds as promising as it gets.

One of my pet-sitting clients just got back from an entire month in Costa Rica. Apparently, it's a real paradise. The big question for me is, how hot and humid (and bug-infested) is this place, really?
