Vacation Trip February 2014

A long awaited and perfectly timed February vacation took us out of Boston's Logan International
Airport at 0630 hours the day after a major snow storm hit the region.

The Massport Headquarters station on a very cold snowy morning.

We were happy to get out on time.
The day before, dozens of flights were cancelled because of the storm.

Not too far south, but well above the clouds, the sun and sky brought hope for a much warmer
and enjoyable week ahead.

I love the window seat!

First stop, Miami International Airport.

I did my best to photograph the ARFF Stations thru the window of the Boeing 737
as we were landing and taking off. This is the main station with several ARFF
units parked outside. Thankyou MIA ARFF crew for that!

Timing is of course everything. As we approached our terminal, several airport apparatus
were responding to something. This is an ambulance I believe.

We stayed at the Majestic Elegance Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
It was beautiful in every way!

You can not do this on Cape Cod in February.

Beautiful water and sky.

The February Sunshine in Punta Cana
is warm and exactly what has been missing back home this winter.
It felt really, really good!

The resort was beautiful day and night.

The beach was amazing.

I am not sure what was burning, but it was quite a ways off in the distance and it was big.
The fire service in the Dominican Republic is not what we are accustomed to in the USA.
Odds are, the fire burned itself out.
