Down South

We spent almost a full day at the airport hotel relaxing by the very trendy pool, soaking up the sun through the window. It already felt like a holiday! Our flight didn't leave until 3:55 so we had plenty of time to have lunch, a rest and get to the gate. The flight was only four hours and it passed pretty quickly, we spent $50 on some pretty average food with less than average service, it reminds us of just how good Qantas really is.

We arrived at Punta Cana airport in the Dominican Republic around 8pm. The Dominican is in the same time zone as Montreal and on a map is almost directly south of Lab City. Taking a vacation in the Carribean is referred to as 'going down south' by Canadians and I am sure that most residents of Lab City head down south at least once per year. The airport was very basic, we walked off the tarmac into a large open air building, got our passports stamped and then got on our minibus transport to our hotel.

I couldn't see much on the way to the resort as the boys were falling asleep on me. The roads were bumpy and we passed through a few roadside towns during the hour long drive. We were glad to get to our rooms, get some room service and go to sleep.
