Last month, the volcanic ash in Iceland precluded our plans to visit Zurich and Barcelona, so we decided to take a restorative trip down to the Dominican Republic instead. I had just quit my job and would start a new one soon, and being in the caribbean with my man for a week, touring a little and enjoying pina coladas in the heat was the most freeing and calming feeling I'd had in a a while. What a great trip!
