    I was out in Playa Dorardo in 2005, stayed at Villas Doradro, thiu that s now been revamped and now is an adults only hotel, were staying in Grand ventana, - it was great last as I needed a chill out hol, wa glad to stay by the pool, apart from venturing to the shopping plaza my only trip out of the complex was to Ocean World, this time taking DD, shes 8, planning coule visits to Ocean World, she wants the dolphin swim, and then the dolphin + sealion encounter, I'm stuck on crutches so can't do the monster trips etc, half of me is conserned it be too quiet for her, but shes said she hates shopping, she'd rather be in the pool, so to an extent we'll get by.


    hope the gas inspection went ok, - def agree re needing the man, al I do is window shop......... xx



    Hi there, Sore point, HE HASN'T TURNED UP!!!!! :mad: second year running. It was supposed to be between 8 and 12.30 and now I am told mid afternoon. I am furious, dog needs walking and I have got some stuff to do in town. My HA gives £10 compo for missed appts so I am drafting the letter already.... I should be in the £10 a day challenge ;)

    Small world, a friend of mine is a waiter in Villas Doradas, but he has been laid off a few times over the last few months. The hotels just tell the staff to take 2 weeks off without pay whenever they like.It's a hard life over there.
    People I know stayed at the Grand Ventana just before Christmas and it was 25% occupancy so you shouldn't have a problem with queueing for anything or getting served:D I am glad you have been before - you know what to expect.
    At least you are on the beach side and it is a nice big hotel as well, one of the better ones. A lot of the air crews stay there.
    Sorry about the crutches, at least you will be looked after on the plane and the Dominicans love a chance to get a wheelchair out. Straight to the front of the line for your tourist visa.;)
    I was hoping to go out in February but I can't afford it no matter which way I look at the finances. When I win the lottery......

    Hugs

    Wow, A real blast from the past. We were such good forum buddies back in the day, I often think about you (honestly) and philmacadamy and the others.

    I think that my Forum buddys at that time made a very stressfull and difficult time of my life bearable :T :D

    My posts are so long on your thread that I thought it would be better to have a diary of my own where I can ramble on and on and not bore everyone to tears. Funny, but writing it down is almost the same as telling it to someone in person, such is the warmth on this board.
    Have a good day, Nh

    Hugs

    Sorry i missed the long boring post. I quite like them, as i tend to do alot of those myself. But somehow it does tend to help, offloading your boring thoughts, even if it is, only to yourself.


    Hope you got this afternoon sorted, and everything done, that you wanted to do.
