The furthest from home that I have traveled was to the Dominican Republic. After my grandfather passed away I wanted to get away from it all. I decided to call up my best friend to go on vacation with me. She had been to the Dominican Republic previously and told me about how beautiful and calming it is. We looked online and found a great vacation package for the next weekend. Once we were there we immediately hit the beach and during our stay we did tons of shopping, even more sun bathing, snorkeling, parasailing, kayaking and swimming. It was definitely a great experience that I needed at that time in my life.
