Winter Break

So yesterday was the first nice fall day, I should just enjoy it and be in fall mode, but I know "Winter is Coming" so I'm thinking ahead.  I really really want to go to Dominican Republic.  Its been on my mind ever since I saw an article about it in Budget Travel, and more recently since I've been reading tons from author Junot Diaz who details the crazy history of the island, as well as his own personal history of growing up there. I want to split my time between Santo Domingo, and the beaches, I have some research to do, but at least I've found the perfect Prada Retro sunnies to wear. Hope santa brings them
