Back...cont. - part 2

Arriving in Puerto Plata our hearts began racing. The thought of the erotic adventure we were beginning began to be a reality. This was to be the first organized vacation for Florida's Finest Couples and we wanted to make it memorable and special. So, it was with anticipation and mindset that we exited the plane, walked through the various airport building construction detours and worked our way to passport control and immigration.

Arriving at immigration we paid our $10 entry fee and received a beautifully printed ticket. We looked at each other and laughed. $10 for a slip of paper, oh well...it will look nice in the scrapbook. About 10 steps past the "money for ticket exchange counter" we were greeted by a pretty Dominican lady offering us a free drink. Oh my GOD...what a great country. They haven't even stamped our passports but they are already getting us lubricated! Yeah!

It was rum. Straight rum in a cup with no ice but it tasted perfect as we quickly swallowed and moved on. The flight had made us a bit dry and our first taste of the Dominican Republic was both smooth and strong, maybe a hint of things to come?

About 10 more steps and our passports received the first check along with a request for the beautifully printed piece of paper that we had just paid $10 to buy. Our passports were given back but the $10 paper was kept and run through a shredder. Oh well, so much for the scrapbook idea! So we moved on to the next stop. A man who looked no older than 16 took our passports and passed them to an older man. Both in uniforms they fingered through the passports, stamped them and said welcome to the Dominican Republic.

Now onto our luggage which was waiting for us on a moving belt. 1, 2, 3... OK we got all the bags. So many bags we looked at each other and laughed. Yes, three bags full of very few clothes that could be worn in public. These were all our clothes, shoes and cosmetics. There are theme parties every night so we will were just bringing what we needed but three bags for one week in a clothing optional resort was probably a bit over the top.

Down a few more hallways we went with our bags and were greeted by two beautiful girls in awesome costume. They placed their arms around us and a man with a camera said smile! A flash went off and we moved on. Past the relatives greeting their families to a man holding a sign with our name. We identified ourselves to him, two men immediately grabbed our luggage and we followed them to a row of Taxi vans. They asked what we wanted to drink and offered us coke, water, sprite or beer. Beer is will be! GOD what a great country...two drinks and we haven't even left the airport!

The luggage men handed us our drinks and asked us to wait there. They loaded our bags into one of the vans and left. Quickly, they returned with 3 other couples, bags in hand. These people must have been on our plane. Hmmm, are they swingers too? Are they going to Caliente? We introduced ourselves. In all there were 8 couples on our plane that were joining our growing taxis caravan. We did not have time to speak with all and soon entered the van with our luggage. There was one other couple in our van. Like the others all vans carried two couples and their associated luggage.

We introduced ourselves to the other couple and made polite conversation as the our taxis caravan left the airport. Our driver George, asked about our flight and made sure we were kept well lubricated with Dominican beer, El Presidente if I recall correctly. The countryside was beautiful. Brightly painted chiantis, beautiful green foliage, sun and blue sky. As we traveled for what would be a one hour trip, we went through several towns. Motorcycles and scooters seemed to be the main mode of transportation for the locals. We would point and say, "look at them, three on that motorcycle." Soon we even saw several with 4 people...wow!

While the taxis weaved through traffic we continued our conversation with the other couple. "So, are you going to Caliente?" Yes, they proclaimed..."and you?" Of course, we answered yes and asked if they had been their before. They told us this was their first visit but they had heard great things. Told us they had just been to Taipei and loved it...before that Belize. It was obvious that we had experienced travelers. Then we asked if they were swingers.

Well, the answer was not as direct as we would have liked. They told us that they know that Florida's Finest Couples was doing a swinger take-over of the resort. In fact, they had found the website and it looked like a nice group so they decided to join in. However, they were "more nudist than swinger." In fact, she was more lesbian than straight. So, although they were not opposed to swinging this would be their first adventure into that area. Nice couple we thought but we were a bit confused on their expectations.

Well, the hour in the taxis went by quickly and we entered the resort. Through the gate, past the guards our taxis caravan passed. We had arrived at Caliente Caribe!

All four of the taxis from the airport pulled in and our luggage was unloaded at a large open reception building. It was awesome! 12 foot carved wood doors, Mediterranean colors, fountain in the middle of the building. All 8 couples piled out and we were greeted by the staff. Some dressed in pressed uniforms and others in brightly colored Hawaiian shirts.

We told them our names pointed to our luggage, still three bags...and were asked to follow to our room. Following the uniformed man he pointed out that breakfast would be in the reception building and that dinner was also normally there but tonight we had a pig roast starting at 7:30 down at the beach bar. We walked past the pool with swim up bar, entertainment stage, and down a walkway to our room.

As we entered the room we saw a bed covered with red flower petals and decorated with two kissing swans made from bath towels ....

...to be continued!
