Fun Week Then Off On A New Adventure……….

 We just finished spending a fun week in Atlanta.  Honey Bunch was in a play.  We attended every show and hard to believe but every show was better that the last.  I know this will sound bias but truly everyone said it…… Honey Bunch was spectacular. She deserved to win a Tony for the play. The whole cast did such an amazing job.  My favorite line in the whole play was delivered by Honey Bunch and she delivered it like no one else could have.  Imagine in a southern drawl “Oh Honey….. Bless your heart”.  Just thinking about it makes me giggle.  There were some really funny lines but in the end in was a tear jerker. Mrs Dr was busy gathering items to sell and working the concessions. They had great treats for sale to support the drama department.  I even bought a sweatshirt that was made for the play.  Dr took care of us chauffeuring us to each show.  

It was fun spending time with the family in between times.  We learned some fun new games and had an absolute blast playing them.  We even got to watch Mega man compete in a track meet.  He is doing splendidly pole vaulting. He has only been doing it for a couple weeks so he is amazing. Princess came for over night.  It was fun to spend some time with her.  Dude cooked us some steaks. Everyone said they weren’t his usual but I thought they were delicious and I certainly ate a lot.  It is always so fun going and spending time with everyone there.  Can’t wait to see everyone again. 

Up early today…..and I mean early we were up at 4 am.  Yikes that is early.  We flew to Punta Cana.  The airport was pretty busy which I guess I am surprised how busy it was that early in the am.  But we got through security pretty quickly.  We couldn’t use the airline’s lounge because we didn’t have the right credit card and our destination wasn’t complementary.  Oh well.  We did go and have a little breakfast at one of the restaurants open at that time. 

We arrived safe and sound. Customs was really really busy.  We managed to get through fairly quick all things considered.  We gathered our luggage and were headed to the long line to have our luggage scanned to get out and a guy snagged Art and said come with me.  He grabbed our luggage and by passed the X-ray machines hollered something to the employee and she waved us through,…….hmmmmm.  Not sure how that worked but it did.  We got to our shuttle stand  found our name and checked in.  Art had made arrangements for a private shuttle.  That was great.  Our driver was hilarious!!!  We so enjoyed him. He said his name in English was Joel and his last name was.“little Ass” in English.  He showed us pictures of his wife and kids and sang to us and was just a really fun guy. 

Out hotel is great.  We wandered around a little.  It is a big resort.  When we checked in our concierge was waiting for us.  After we got our room he asked what our room number was so he could arrange to have our luggage delivered.  When we told him the number, his eyes got big and and he grinned and said oh that is a very nice room.  I am sure he always does that but it is a very nice room.  It is a two story with the bedroom upstairs.  And the fun part is we have a nice deck with a table and chair, two loungers AND….a pool.  Pretty sweet.  I will post pictures later.  

We had a lovely dinner and our back to our room enjoying the deck.  Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
