Where I stayed
Celebrity Solstice
Arrived in the DR - a little scared by our surroundings. There was some kind of industrial area along side of the ship - a strange mix of beauty and ugliness.
Lots of people just stayed on board the ship. Malcolm even secretly told me to stay away. But I eventually I got up the energy to walk off the ship. There was a little shopping area - just a big warehouse with discount liquor and cheap souvenirs. I didn't give it much of a chance - turned around and got back on board.
That evening was Classic Disco T-Dance - started while still in port. We left an impression on DR - there can be no doubt. Sunset during tea as we sped away toward Curacao.
That night - made up for the lack of events up in the first nights. Saw Miss Richfield 1981's "I've Got a Heart On for You". Nothing like a little psycho-analysis from Miss R to help you through your week.
Stayed up long enough to check out the hypnotist - Michael Swenson. Gotta love that he gets his "subjects" to full strip on stage - but gotta hate that he's the only one to actually see it.
