A rough plan, not a spreadsheet
4–5 nights in Punta Cana, two ways
- Day 1
Land, drop bags, do nothing on purpose
- Morning
- Get in, dump the suitcases in Bávaro, argue about beds for four minutes.
- Afternoon
- First drink within walking distance. Nobody plans anything until everyone has eaten.
- Night
- An easy dinner and one bar. You are saving yourselves and you know it.
- Day 2
A full horizontal day at the beach
- Morning
- Coffee, then loungers by 11. Someone brings a speaker nobody asked for.
- Afternoon
- Swim, nap, repeat. One person does actually read their book.
- Night
- Sunset drinks, then the nicest dinner of the trip in Cap Cana.
- Day 3
One nice thing, then back to lying down
- Morning
- Late start. This is the point.
- Afternoon
- A boat, a spa, or a very good lunch that runs three hours.
- Night
- The night out you all pretended you didn't want.
- Day 4
Souvenirs and a suspicious taxi to the airport
- Morning
- Final swim or final coffee, depending on your people.
- Afternoon
- Everyone buys the same fridge magnet. Split the bill properly this time.
- Night
- Home, already sending the 'when's the next one' message.
Steal it, ignore it, or hand it to the friend who insists on a spreadsheet.
