I am sitting here in the Dominican Republic at the Romano family's table.  Matt, Alec, Marcus and myself all arrived yesterday afternoon and have been seeing many different sites ever since.  It is a different life, but one we all already enjoy.  Alec said he is ready to stay but we need to some how get the girls and Isaac :)   The people are very welcoming and patient with us as we try to practice the Spanish we have learned.  We will post pics when we can or on Facebook.
