A: We were in the Dominican last week when TS Fay came upon us. We were on vacation with 2 other families, and we had NO IDEA that it was as big of a storm that the media made it out to be. Yes, it was windy and sideways rain, but nothing more than we have seen here in the states with a Nor'Easter. We ended up having a fantastic day and we joked around that we were having a "hurricaine party". We hung out at the lobby bar, drank, ate, played games, listened to music, and basically had a blast. The animation crew will also keep you occupied if you happen to have one bad day. If you are worried about Gustav, that is already in Haiti, and by the time you get there, it will be long gone. We honestly never knew what kind of storm we were in until we got to the states and all of our family were yelling at us for not getting in touch!?!?! Who knew?? We were just having a good time. Believe me, you will have plenty of sunny days, and if you get one bad day, your skin will probably thank you. We used 50 SPF and STILL got burned. Have a great time... and drink a couple of dirty bananas, banana mammas, or blue lagoons... and just relax!
