Where are you, Jack Sparrow? Left me alone on the island...you bastard.
"Always be yourself.
Unless you can be a pirate - then always be a pirate."
Tenho que confessar que foi um ver�o divertido contudo um pouco estranho, com alguns precal�os pelo meio. Primeiro tivemos os fogos mesmo � nossa porta durante o m�s de Agosto e no dia 1 de Setembro vo�mos para as Cara�bas, Rep�blica Dominicana, e logo uns dias depois fomos informados que o furac�o Irma (Categoria 5) iria chegar � nossa ilha, descrito pela imprensa como o maior furac�o na hist�ria.
A primeira semana fic�mos em Boca Chica. � um s�tio acolhedor com uma ba�a natural e a �gua a 30�C. O furac�o Irma passou no Norte da Rep�blica Dominicana e n�s est�vamos no Sul. Contudo o povo de l� j� est� habituado aos furac�es e s�o muito preventivos tendo uma sala pr�pria onde n�s fic�mos durante algumas horas (com m�sica e comida) at� o furac�o abrandar. N�s sentimos alguns ventos e s� um trov�o muito forte parecido com uma bomba. A primeira coisa a fazer nestas situa��es � n�o entrar em p�nico e confiar nas pessoas do Hotel e ouvir as suas indica��es. O pior foi mesmo a espera (3 dias � espera do "monstro" e ver as not�cias foi um pouco assustador. No entanto foram uma f�rias maravilhosas.
Fic�mos 15 dias e tivemos todo o tempo do mundo para nos divertirmos. Na segunda semana mud�mos para La Romana e fic�mos hospedados no hotel "Grand Bahia Principe La Romana". Este hotel � encantador, no entanto tenho que confessar que preferi Boca Chica (Hotel Be Live Experience Hamaca) porque sentimos a vibe da ilha. Na "La Romana" era como se estiv�ssemos noutro s�tio qualquer. A praia n�o era boa e acab�mos por fazer piscina. Descobrimos uma afastada mesmo junto � praia e nunca estava ningu�m.
A experi�ncia que eu e o meu filho mais gost�mos de fazer foi snorkeling na Ilha Catalina. Foi m�gico ver aquela variedade de peixes a nadar junto a n�s no mar quente das Cara�bas.
Conhecemos pessoas maravilhosas, com necessidades, hist�rias comoventes e com uma simpatia e empatia enorme, sempre com um sorriso nos l�bios. Os meus pensamentos est�o com aquelas pessoas.
N�s trazemos boas mem�rias e esta viagem mudou, de certo modo, as nossas vidas.

It's been a while since I did a post but I just wanted to enjoy the summer to the fullest with my family. In August I've been in my city enjoying the pleasure of doing nothing, only swimming by the pool and playing with my kid.
I must confess that it was a fun summer but a little bit weird with some mishaps in the middle. At first, we had the fires knocking at my door in August and on September 1st we flew to the Caribbean Islands at the Dominican Republic and a few days later we were informed that hurricane Irma (category 5) was coming to the island, described by the Press as the most powerful hurricanes in history.
The first week we stayed at Boca Chica at "Be Live Experience Hamaca". It's a cozy place with a natural bay with water at 86�F. The Irma hurricane passed in the north and we were in the south. But that people are "familiar" with hurricanes and they are preventive so they have a place where we stayed for a couple of hours, until the hurricane passes, with music and food...In the south of Dominican Republic, we notice some winds and one strong thunder which the sound seemed like a bomb. The first thing we have to do in these situations is don't panic, trust in the people and listening to the indications. The worst was the waiting (3 days waiting for the "monster" and watching the news was a little bit scaring). Nevertheless, it was an awesome vacation.
We stayed 15 days and we had all the time to have fun. In the second week, we move to La Romana at "Grand Bahia Principe La Romana". This is a charming hotel but I sincerely preferred Boca Chica (Be Live Experience Hamaca) because we feel the vibe of the Island itself. In La Romana, it was like we were elsewhere, I didn't feel the same vibe and didn't like the beach so we went to the pools, they are cool especially a little one near at the beach with nobody else.

The experience which I and my son loved the most was snorkeling at Catalina Island. It was magical seeing the several fishes at the Caribbean sea.
We met wonderful people, people on need with touching stories and so sympathetic and empathetic always with a smile on the face. My thoughts are with that people.
We bring good memories and this travel has changed our lives in a way.
