A few weeks ago hubby took a solo vacation trip to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and it was the first time in our 27 years of marriage that he did so.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take the time off from work but felt he needed to get away and relax so I was glad that he did go alone. 

He said he didn’t have as good of a time without me (of course), but did enjoy spending time by the water.  Hopefully, this summer we will head back there as a family because we own a timeshare and it’s a great resort.

Once home, we planned a lunch date at Aqua Sol, a restaurant on the C&D Canal which is also on a Marina.  Once there we realized that not only was it closed for the season but that it was closed for good.  Disappointed in not being able to eat we instead decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and scenery to take a few pictures, here I am in my Metrostyle Plum Pencil Skirt and Suede Plum Pumps.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out a Metrostyle Catalog lately, make sure to click this link to see the latest fall fashions that are not only stylish and trendy but also affordable quality clothing which is available in sizes from petite to extra large.

This Suiting Pencil skirt is also available in Plum Plaid and Black and comes in sizes 4 to 20, from Misses and Petite to Tall.  You guys know how much I Iove shoes, so of course I had to get these matching Patent Heel Pumps which are Suede with a patent 3 1/4” heel and are uber comfortable because of the cushioned insoles.

 I can wear these pumps with other color skirts as well and I have a few purple scarves that will pull it all together so expect to see me rocking these babies until the first signs of snow! 

These suede pumps also come in sizes from 6M to 10M and in colors Red, Black and Latte which is a nice shade for Autumn.

Hubby and I had a nice time and I had to teach him how to take a selfie because the ones he took on vacation weren’t that great….sssh don’t tell him!

I hope Aqua Sol will reopen in the spring, but even if it doesn’t the Marina is always a nice place to visit to just watch the boats and relax by the water with hubby.

Room with a View at The Royal Suites

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

I am still trying to sort through over 500 pictures and several videos from our family vacation to the Dominican Republic and I do hope that you are enjoying each of the posts.  If case you missed it, click here to read the post showing the food and drinks from the resort.

Today’s I have a short video with a few pictures of our our 2 bedroom at The Royals Suites at Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resort.  

We arrived at the resort late and were extremely hungry so we went to dinner before checking in so the pictures of the room are a little dark.  

The refrigerator was initially stocked with several bottles of water, soft drinks and beer then each day resort workers would come b Presidente Beer y with more to ensure no one would ever get thirsty!  Their brand of beer is Presidente and it was great.

Unfortunately, the 2nd bedroom contained only 1 Queen Size bed which didn’t go over too well with my mini men.  We called the front desk and they graciously and quickly brought up a twin bed for the living room where Malik slept.

The bedrooms were spacious and each had a flat screen TV including in the living room which made my men extremely happy!

In each bathroom there was a basket containing several bottles of shower gels, shampoo/conditioners, soaps, lotions, a sewing kit, cotton swabs and other toiletries, however, it took several minutes for the water to heat up in both the sink and shower.

These pictures were taken from the balcony the following morning and as you can see we had a great view of a pool and that of a tennis court.

There was a bar that opened from 10-6 and it was nice to sit poolside and have a drink while “lazing” the day away.
