The Caribbean’s new ‘it’ destination
Stumbled across this article about the DR and Casa de Campo… worth a read.

Ok, for those of you who know me, I am the anti-party animal, preferring to chill and relax at home or homes of those friends closest to me. That said, the last couple of weeks have been insane, and I am glad to say that with no plans for the immediate future, I have a […]

Away from Casa
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last week, but I have just returned from a little escape from Casa, my travels having taken me to the big apple. Interestingly enough, I spend the greater part of the time visiting friends, walking and eating. So what does this have to do with Casa de […]

Best darn burger EVER!
So much to write about this last weekend, so I will have to break this up into two posts. The most memorable event though, was without a doubt a burger I had during the Texan Barbercue Dinner Buffet. Wow! I’m sad to say it was the best burger I have ever had -BAR NONE. Keep […]
