Santo Domingo

We took a road trip to Santo Domingo and spent the weekend in a hotel so we had plenty of time to explore the first and oldest city in The America’s. We stayed at Tierra Plana Hostel and Restaurant, which is on a little alley way next to the San Fransico Moneatary.

This was a clean and very affordable place to stay and it was walking distance to all of the historical sites. 

….and you gotta love a place where Mojito’s are less than a beer!!!


Kaycie flew in from NYC to spend the weekend with us. So, we took lots of family selfies. 




It was a fun time and we made a two part video vlog about our weekend in Santo Domingo.

Our first week in the Dominican Republic

Since we have been on the move for the past 10 days or so it was nice to stay put in one area for a week. It was better that friends from Central PA were staying at a resort in the same area where we are anchored. 

They snuck us into the resort, but the second day the security guards were onto us and got pretty upset that we were there. Haha!! 
We’ve made YouTube video about our friends visit and our first week in the DR. Click Here to watch!!

Mona Island

We’ve arrived at Mona Island, which is also called the Galapagos of the Caribbean. There are said to be 6’+ iguanas on the beach and wonderful snorkeling. Time to go see if we can find those big iguanas.

Gilligan’s Island, Puerto Rico

Gilligan’s Island was soooo much fun!!! Relaxing in the crystal clear water of the mangroves and floating in the current was just like relaxing in a lazy river at a huge resort!!! Only better!!

Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

Cabo Rojo was the perfect staging point for us to cross the Mona Passage to Mona Island. It’s a wide open anchorage without any obstacle, so we could leave before the sun came up.

Playita, PR


The anchorage at Playita, Puerto Rico was protected by mangroves and very calm. We didn’t even realize that the largest Northern Swell in over 8 years was affecting the Northern Coast and smaller islands to the East. 

The small residential town outside the marina was full of Spanish charm and street art.

Below are some of the other colorful street art and painted signs.

Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

We’ve condensed our hours and miles of waking through Old San Juan into a 9 minute video. Words just don’t do this historic city justice. You have to see it for your self. Best part is you can sit back and your feet won’t get sore!!

Dolphins at Salinas, PR

Yesterday we left Palmas del Mar Marina and sailed around to Salinas, Puerto Rico which is on the Southern Coast.  

As I was sitting outside drinking my coffee and doing my Spanish lessons I hear dolphins swimming around the boat. 

The boys decided this would be a good time to try the drone out and see if we could get a video of the dolphins from overhead. 

Surprising they did catch a dolphin playing.
