this is officially my 200th post and quite possibly my most exciting to date... just minutes ago, with a few monumental mouse clicks, rachel and i just booked a trip to punta cana, in the dominican republic!!! that's right ladies and gents, a little fun in the sun, all-inclusive style is currently being added as rachie's latest credit card tab to pay... for all that we're getting, it's a crazy steal of a deal... and will be enjoyed just in time before it starts to get sweltering here... we depart in the late afternoon on june 3rd and return to normal life in the evening on june 10th... i already know that it won't seem like it's long enough... 
we're staying at the sirenis cocotel (shown at the left here)... it's been recommended to me by a fellow employee at the restaurant and looks amazing... so, now it's time to spend a little more time on the treadmill and maybe take a few trips to the tanning salon to get my skin bronze-ready... i'm already dreaming up outfits to wear to dinner and can't wait to slip into my chocolate brown bikini once again... never before have i wandered the sunny beaches of an exotic place without my parents in tow... three weeks 'til departure... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
