Tuesday - Travel Day

Most of us were awake at 4 am to leave for Dulles Airport by 5 am.  We had a full flight and a safe arrival to PuntaCana, Dominican Republic.

I am writing about our first travel day! The day overall was amazing and extremely eye opening. However, it did start a weee bit early for me.. which would mean 4am. Although, after some food, a few energy drinks, and a gorgeous sunrise, I was ready for the day! When arriving at the airport, it was fairly empty..but.. that didn’t last long. This was my first ever time at an airport, and while I didn’t know what to expect, it was very interesting and even busier than I could have imagined. Oh! And TSA, is most defiantly scary. But, that the end of the day, everything went smoothly. We all landed safely and had a good trip, with very little turbulence thankfully.

Once landed everything was much calmer. We went through the Punta Cana airport and were quickly on the van, and on our way to the hotel. Once we got there we were all stunned; it was beautiful!! The palm trees, pool, and beach looked straight out of a Pinterest photo! Although, most importantly in my opinion, the people were kind and warm. No one welcomes you the way the Dominican Republic does.   

In conclusion, day was phenomenal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!
