Day one was an adventure in the D.R. We you arrive to Punta Cana, D.R the airport is like a big old hut. I swear it was made out of bambo. It was probably one of the most amazing airports that I have ever seen. No jet way, so they bring the stairs to you and you walk on the tarmat to go inside the airport where you are so kindly greeted by two beautiful Dominican women. Of couse this is nothing but a photo op. While you are going through customs they have a band playing for you and you get that tropical feel.
Since the company we booked through never sent me my voucher so I could get to the resort, I took a taxi. Good thing about taking a taxi, it took me about a half hour to get from the airport instead of the standard hour and a half. One thing about the roads in Punta Cana, they are not like our roads; so there are no lines or passing lanes. You pass when you want and how you want. It was an adventure going around cars, trucks, motorcycles, and pedestrians on these streets. Thanks God I made it there safely. Driving through the country side, you get a nice view of the city and the locals.
Arriving to the resort (Majestic Elengance), the first thing you notice is the lobby and the view from the lobby, both are amazing. Since the lobby is on the 2nd floor, when you look straight out you see the resort, the pools running from end to end, and the beach.
After checking in it was time to do some all inclusing....LOL I looked for my friends, who had arrived a day earlier, when I could not find them I went exploring the grounds. After getting a quick bite and drinking a couple of beers and some drinks. I went back to the lobby to see if my boys were there. They were hanging out at the bar having some drinks. They told me that I needed to catch up with them. So after drinking some more beer, couple shots of tequila, bailey's, caipirinha(favorite drink from Brazil), I was caught up and fully buzz after 2 hours of being in the D R. Now Chill, one of my boys, was lit. He had drank like 5 glasses of Remy and other stuff. So we are leaving and we are walking down the stairs. I tell Chill to hold on to the rail a couple of times. He says he is. By the time we got about 4 or 5 stairs from the bottom, all I hear is splat. He falls face down the stairs, it was so funny and we bust out laughing. He jumps up because he is not hurt (except his ego). He claims since we don't have film of it, it did not happen.
