🏃‍♂️✈️ My FIRST Official 5K! 🏁

And what better way to do it than the Adventures by Julio way… running down the RUNWAY at Charlotte Douglas International Airport! ✈️🌎

I've been wanting to participate in this 5K for YEARS, but I honestly never thought I'd be able to run 3 miles! Well, with a little bit of “training” (and I use that term loosely 😂), here we are!

For this first race, I'm not setting any time goals or trying to break any records. My only goal is to cross that finish line!🏅

I'm using this race as my starting point, a benchmark to look back on as I continue to challenge myself and hopefully take on more races in the future!

From traveling the globe to running down an airport runway, I guess you could say the adventures never stop! 🌎✈️🏃‍♂️

Best of luck to everyone racing today! Let's make it a great one! 💪🏽

🚢 Cruise vs. All-Inclusive Resort… which one wins?🌴

This is a conversation we’ve been having ALL WEEK, and after spending the few days at Dreams Onyx, we’ve officially come to a conclusion:

It really depends on what you’re looking for out of THAT vacation!🙌

This trip allowed us to slow down. We woke up when we wanted, grabbed some food, found a pool, floated around the lazy river, had a drink (or two 😉), and just enjoyed the resort at our own pace.

Now cruising? 😂 Y’all know we LOVE to cruise, but the way WE cruise is completely different.

We stay BUSY!

There’s a whole ship to explore, restaurants to try, shows to see, trivia, activities, entertainment… and apparently we suffer from a serious case of FOMO because we feel like we need to experience ALL OF IT. 🤣

Then throw multiple ports into the mix, each with its own excursions, sightseeing and adventures, and suddenly we need a vacation from our vacation! 😂🚢

Of course, any vacation is what you make it. You can absolutely relax on a cruise, and you can pack an all inclusive stay full of excursions and activities.

But for us, it really comes down to one question:

What are we looking to get out of THIS vacation?

🌴 Are we looking to unplug, slow down and relax?

🚢 Are we excited to explore a new ship and wake up in different destinations?

🎉 Are we celebrating something special?

🌎 Are there specific places we want to experience?

Sometimes the answer is a cruise. Sometimes it’s an all inclusive. Sometimes it’s something completely different!

There isn’t one “best” way to vacation. There’s just the vacation that fits what YOU need right now.❤️

So after following along with us this week, I have to know…

Which team are you on? 🚢 CRUISE or 🌴 ALL INCLUSIVE?

And BOTH is absolutely an acceptable answer because I think that’s officially where we land. 😂

One of the things that impressed me most during our stay at Dreams Onyx Resort & Spa was the number of activities available for families throughout the day and into the evening!

Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good pool day where I can just float around and do absolutely NOTHING. But it was really nice to see that if you wanted to get involved in something, there was ALWAYS something going on!

During the day, there was a little something for everyone!

We're talking painting your own tote bags and T-shirts, decorating donuts , bingo, darts, co****le tournaments, beach volleyball, pool volleyball, and so much more!

They also have a kids club, which Maksim didn't attend this time around, but honestly, there were so many activities happening around the resort that we never felt like we were missing out!

And the evenings? Just as much fun!

🤍 The White Party was FANTASTIC!

🇩🇴 They hosted a Dominican cultural show.

🎤 Karaoke night brought out everyone's inner superstar, and TBH there were some really good ones!

🍭 They even had a special kids party complete with goodie bags, cotton candy, wax hands, and plenty of fun!

Speaking of wax hands… ours didn't exactly survive the trip home in one piece. 😬😂

The entertainment staff was PHENOMENAL! 🙌

They weren't just standing around announcing activities. They were constantly walking around the pools and beach, talking with guests, encouraging everyone to participate, and genuinely getting to know people.

And once they got to know you? WATCH OUT! 😂

Somehow, they managed to convince us to participate in things we probably would've never signed up for on our own… like a DUNK TANK and hopping inside a giant HAMSTER WHEEL! 🤣🐹💦

What I really appreciated was the variety and balance. If you wanted a relaxing day by the pool, you could absolutely have one. But if you wanted to get up, have some fun, meet other guests, and make a few memories, there were plenty of opportunities to do that too!

And as someone who travels with a family, I think that's a HUGE plus! ❤️

Dreams Onyx really impressed me with how much they offered for families without making the resort feel like it was ONLY geared toward kids. There was something for everyone, regardless of age!

It's little things like this that can make a resort stand out from the rest, and it's definitely something I'll keep in mind when recommending properties to my clients! 🌴✈️

Now I have to know… are you the type to jump into all the resort activities, or are you watching the chaos unfold from your lounge chair with a drink in hand? 😂🍹

I know I said this vacation was all about relaxing, but you know we couldn't spend the WHOLE time at the resort and not go explore!

This time, instead of the typical beach or adventure excursion, we decided to experience a little more of the culture and everyday life in the Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴

First stop — horseback riding!

We visited a local ranch and hopped on some horses for a ride through some absolutely beautiful scenery! Now, I haven't really been on a horse since those little pony rides as a kid, so this was definitely a new experience for me! But riding through the countryside with those views? So cool! 😍

Next up — the Basilica of Higüey!

What a beautiful and unique church! I've visited quite a few churches around the world, but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like this. The architecture was incredible and definitely worth seeing!

A little local shopping!

We then visited a local farmers market where the locals shop for their fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and everyday essentials. I always enjoy getting away from the tourist areas and seeing a little bit of how the locals live. 🇩🇴❤️❤️

We stocked up on some spices to bring a little taste of the Dominican Republic back home!

Time for lunch!

We stopped to enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch, and as always, the food did NOT disappoint! 😋 One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to experience the local cuisine!

Coffee and cocoa, anyone?

Our next stop was another local farm where we learned how coffee and cocoa are grown, harvested, and processed.

This was really interesting! Our tour guide, Theo, actually walked over to a tree, found a ripe cacao pod, cracked it open, and let us all sample it!

Now here's the crazy part… at first, it had almost a banana-like flavor, but the more you chewed, the more you started getting that bitter, unsweetened chocolate taste! 🍫

Next stop — a to***co factory!

We got to watch the guys hand roll ci**rs right in front of us. There were about 5 or 6 men working, and they told us that each person can make between 200 and 300 ci**rs PER DAY! 😳

Watching how quickly and skillfully they worked was pretty impressive!

And finally — Macao Beach!

We wrapped up our day with a stop at Macao Beach before heading back to our home away from home at Dreams Onyx! 🌴

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a beautiful resort, a good pool, and a lazy river 😂, but there's something special about meeting the locals, learning about their traditions, trying their food, and seeing how people live in other parts of the world.

So tell me… when you're on vacation, are you staying at the resort or heading out to explore the local culture?

🌴 My friends… I have neglected you guys over the last few days! 😂But for good reason , we’ve really just been relaxing, ...

🌴 My friends… I have neglected you guys over the last few days! 😂

But for good reason , we’ve really just been relaxing, unplugging, and soaking it all in. ☀️🍹

Dreams Onyx is truly a beautiful property! We’ve spent plenty of time enjoying the gorgeous grounds, the abundance of pools, and of course the water park,complete with yet ANOTHER pool, waterslides, and a lazy river… which you already know was my favorite!

But one of the things that has stood out the most during our stay has been the hospitality. ❤️

The staff here has been absolutely incredible. Everywhere we go, we’re greeted with a smile, and after a few visits to your favorite restaurants and bars, they start remembering you AND your order.

You walk up and hear…

“Same thing, boss?”

“Yes sir!” 😂

…and magically your usual starts appearing. 🍹🙌 THAT is service!

Now, in full transparency, let’s talk about the beach. 🌊

We booked this trip knowing we were visiting an area that can experience higher amounts of sargassum, and we’re also here at the tail end of the season. Because of that, the ocean water during our stay hasn’t been that crystal clear Caribbean blue you may picture when thinking about the Dominican Republic.

Dreams Onyx has done an excellent job maintaining the beach itself. Crews were out several times throughout the day with large tractors cleaning the sand and removing as much sargassum as possible. That allowed us to walk the beach and enjoy the area without the strong smell that can come from sargassum sitting and decomposing on shore.

But there’s only so much a resort can do you can clean the beach, but you can’t clean the ocean. 🌊 The water remained a little murky during our visit.

And THAT is why I always say: know what you’re booking and set your expectations accordingly. We knew this was a possibility before we arrived, so it certainly didn’t stop us from having a fantastic time!

It’s also one of the reasons working with a travel advisor can be so valuable. 😉 My job isn’t just to book the room it’s to help you understand the destination, the resort, seasonal considerations, and anything else that could impact your vacation before you get there.

Know what to expect, pack your bags, and then go enjoy the adventure! 🌴✈️🇩🇴
