Reviews on TripA

seemingly good. The bad usually by non-travellers or just PITA's

Honeymoon

Dominican Republic is the winner winner.
Punta Cana at Paradisus Palma Real.
I was trying originally to avoid paying all inclusive- but hey WTF? it's our honeymoon!

Right now, there are only available units in June and October. I'm going to keep checking back. RCI's website is totally 90's and is pissing me off to my internet core. I wonder if there's a way to set up an alert if one becomes available.


















Breakdown:
Paying $90/day to pigout= $1260 plus $189 exchange
trying to decide which room is this?
Room options?
expedia $3562.
we are on the wait list for anything from 1/1/10 to 2/28/10
NICE

FLIGHTS:
random dates 1/9/10 to 1/16/10 $575 per person.
