Epic Christmas journey

Penang - Kuala Lumpur - Heathrow/8 hour layover - Miami/airport hotel overnight, and finally Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, where a joyous, near miraculous reunion of family coming from four different places actually arrived at more or less at the same time.  Yay!

For the KL - London leg we got to fly on the upper deck of an Airbus A380.  It is basically a two story airplane, with business and economy seats upstairs.

The Majestic Colonial resort was a great spot for Christmas for our group of 11.  It has a beautiful beach, very comfortable rooms, and all you can eat and drink.

Cam came ready for the occasion with loads of home-baked Christmas cookies, including fattigman!

appreciated by all

















The first full day we toured a cigar factory

And did some rum tasting...

Then it was on to the pool. It's bar and it's Bali beds" were a big hit with the fam

There were always more drinks to be had

Cheers! 

And more food!

 And we were even serenaded at one point

Christmas Eve arrived. More celebration!

The stockings were hung in the hotel room with care

in hopes that St. Nicholas would soon arrive by speedboat

There were many thoughtful gifts

And what would a resort be without a casino

That calls for a little dancin' in the street

Fuel for the revelers....

Back to the water!

Alas, time came for a farewell drink the night before departure 

Goodbyes ending our Punta Cana reunion
