No Puking = Successful Babymoon!

Back from the Babymoon, and I am happy to report that I made it there and back without a single puking episode. A real rarity for anyone who has ever traveled with me. Last year when Corey and I went to Costa Rica, I didn't even make it from the airport to the hotel before having to ask the van driver to pull over so I could empty my insides. I don't know what it is--severe motion sickness, nerves, a ploy for attention--but I tend to have "stomach issues" whenever I travel.

This time, though, it was all good.

Corey and I spent a week in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic at the Dreams Resort. It was just what the doctor ordered. Lots of eating, sleeping, soaking up some sun and a daily ping pong game (to determine who was going to get the soft-serve ice cream for our afternoon snack). The perfect spot to completely veg out.

Before going to the DR, I mentioned in an earlier posting that I was nervous that my bathing suits wouldn't fit and I'd look ridiculous. Well, all that worrying was a complete waste given the other pool patrons. There was an unusually large contingent of very overweight, inked, bikini-clad women there. Which was great because sitting next to them, I probably looked like a size 2 but seriously, I was shocked. I mean really, who is 300lbs and wears a bikini??? Even more vexing, what clothing manufacturer actually makes and sells bikinis to fit such people??? I don't get it.

Don't think I'm rude by saying this. I'm all for shaking what your mama gave you, which is why I decided to pimp the bikini myself, big belly and all. Check it out.

Some more pics from the Babymoon.

This was at our favorite restaurant, Bordeaux. Great food and very romantic setting.

Corey and I at the Seaside Grill, cocktailing before being seated. For me, that meant a refreshing pineapple juice (what fun). And for Corey, well, he kept it Snoop-dogg style the whole week--nothing but Tanqueray. This was probably his 10th of the day. Though in Corey's defense, someone had to get our money's worth at this all-inclusive resort! (I won't post the pics of what Corey looked like after a full day of drinking... I'll save those for blackmailing purposes).
