So my buddy and I are heading out to the Dominican Republic on Tuesday (at the crack of dawn! What on Earth were we thinking??). I know she's been crazy excited since we booked the trip and I thought I'd shoot her some questions to see just how much she was bouncing off the walls/if I'll have to slip her a Ritalin during our flight.Why did you want to go to on vacation together?
Because I think it'll be lots of fun to go bug out somewhere, sit on the beach, have some drinks, chit chat and talk bad about everyone.
[Sounds good to me! Sure beats sitting at work, sipping tea, e-mailing and...oh wait, we talk bad about everyone here, too.]
What are you most excited about our trip to DR?
THE BEACH! Well everything actually. I’m excited about the plane, the unlimited resort food, the shows at night. I’m excited about Ocean World, the heat, the sun, looking at boys. I’m excited about EVERYTHING.
[Make that two Ritalins.]
What other things do you want to do over there?
Oops, I think my previous answer answered it all! There’s dancing, of course, and the pool and the unlimited drinks and watching cows…oh! Maybe we should go horseback riding…
And I’ll show you the hole of a campo my family is from. You'll love being in the middle of nowhere. I can take you to the Mirabal sisters museum, which is not much but hey, it’s a hole in the earth. We can go to the car wash and eat helados BON.
[Three... And apparently, the "car wash" is both a car wash and a club. You can go hang out and dance as they clean cars. The things these people think up.]
You’ve never traveled with me before. What do you think that will be like? I think it'll be great, Dorkys. I think we'll have fun together and it'll be a bonding experience!
[Aww, how sweet! I take that back. Only two then. I'm so nice!]
What will you do if I get on your nerves?
I guess I could drown you in the deep end of the pool, but since I don’t swim, I can just push you into the deep end...LOL! Just joking...why would you get on my nerves??? Oh let’s go to the spa too. They’ve got some cheap massages!
[TEN!!]
What do you hope I get out of our trip?
Besides a tan? A relaxing, get away from it all vacation with good company.
[Meanwhile, I feel like I just ran a marathon reading this itinerary.]
Did you start packing yet?
Yup! I'm halfway packed. I just need to get a couple things at Rite Aid and do 1,000 sit ups. : )
[Me? I haven't even pulled out my dusty suitcase yet. The clothes I bought weeks ago are still laying on the couch with their tags still attached. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get to the airport without my passport or flight confirmation page. Last minute, frantic packing is all me.]
On a scale of 1 to 10, how sane do you think you are?
Ten being the most sane?? Then I am a perfect 10!
[So wait, do the insane actually know they're insane?]
Do you snore?
No way. I talk. I talk loudly and a lot…just kidding...
[Time to charge the iPod...]
This is going to be one hilariously interesting trip. (And I can't wait either!!)
