It was okay, I'm not used to vacations where you get up, lay on the beach, shower and primp for dinner, then kill time before bed on repeat. I love to explore cities and truly experience the country instead of never leaving the resort. Plus it was with a large portion of my bf's family so there was tons of drama. Even at my bday dinner- bf dad stormed off bcuz of the mom, daughters were mad at the dad, older daughter was crying for 5 minutes then laughing at someone the next, aunt and uncle were bickering.... It was a lot to handle and it's hard because the sisters no matter how nice and welcoming I am toward them- and they've known me for 4 years, they as his dad says have this inferiority complex from the moms side and there's no pleasing any of them. I felt so uncomfortable in my room because the older sister made a big deal about the rooms since we weren't married... So the younger sister stayed w us which was no problem but as again the dad said the big sister was in the rlittle sisters ear the whole time, was extremely moody whenever I was in the room.. Excluded me. It was very frustrating. Especially when I realized that they weren't giving me a gift this year- which is fine but they always make a big deal if it happened to them. And this year they both received Tiffany's from me even though I normally get like a clearance item or a little gift card but this year nothing. So it was like a symbol of how they feel toward me i guess. So while it was nice to spend time w my bf, it was a lot to handle but after hearing his dad say those things i've realized not to try anymore and to just continue to be respectful but to not try so hard and welcome my distance.
The larimar is nice but now way overpriced. It started getting popular on the islands years ago and I guess it's been booming with tourists so the prices are significantly higher. However the silver settings they are placed in are of very poor quality and will. Break before the trip ends. The stone to me reminds me of a hybrid of turquoise and chaldony if that makes sense.
That sounds like an awesome vaca!!!!! What a lucky dd! That should be a great experience for you
Aww that doesn't sound very fun...sometimes it seems like no matter what, the inlaw issues come into play. And everyone's family dynamics are different, it's hard to get thrown into the mix for an extended time, let alone on an island! Don't let the sisters' behavior bother you, it doesn't sound like it even had anything to do with you. Some people are difficult to please, and will find fault however they can, and take it out on whoever they can!
