Hello again. I hope all it well in the US. Today I got to see what a doctors office looks like in the DR. I guess i really like to see how sick i can get all at once. To add to my sickness I now have an ear infection. YEAH! I hope it gets better before the long flights but if not that will be ok. So the last couple of days I've been hangin…
Welcome to my Travel Journal. Over the next month I will be expanding my horizon as I travel across the Dominican Republic. I will be building homes, interacting with locals, and adapting to their cultures. May this be an eye opening event that will change the way I view the world. I hope everyone back home enjoys this and always remember that you will be in my heart and mind while I'm gone.

It doesn't seem like it has already been almost a month since you left. Hope that you are feeling better. Looking forward to seeing you when you get back and hearing about your adventures. Enjoy your last few days till you come home. Will see you soon. P.S. your dress came in this week and I have to go and pick them up. Love Heidi and Brian

Hailey - Hardly found your last message. You dated it December! Hope you are not that sick that you don't know what month it is (HA!) (Others - you can find it under Las Terrenas, DR) It got down into the 50's last night here and is cool today. Jeff starts a new job tomorrow & is very excited. Heidi & Brian return from their Texas trip today. And your dad and I are doing what comes naturally - cleaning... HA@!@! Won't be long until you are home again. I will be at the airport to pick you up, but you call when you land in Florida. Better have you phone charged. Have fun... Love, Mom & Dad

Hey Hailey, I hope you are having a great time on your adventure tour. It sounds like you will be doing a lot of exciting things. I can't wait to see all the fun pictures and hear all of the great stories that you will have to tell all of us.
Krissi
I couldn't see the pictures either, but that is alright. I am glad that you are able to be a tourist now. Enjoy it! We miss and love you! I start school tomorrow (two classes). On Thursday, I am flying to San Diego with T to meet Ry. He is already there for a golf tournament. I am not looking forward to class! Have fun and stay safe. Use the buddy system!
Love, Krissi

Hi Hailey! Sounds like you are in to see some fun things! Enjoy it - you'll be coming back home soon! I couldn't get your pictures to open either...and I was really bummed because I really wanted to see them! LYLAS!
Mom & Dad
So glad you will be moving on to safer territory. You will still need to stay with your group! DON'T get stupid or think you'll just be OK to be alone for a little while. You teased us with the thought of pictures, but Heidi nor I could open them. We doubt that anyone else could either. You might try again... know we are all anxious to see what DR looks like. Hope you are feeling better and that it was just a mild cold. You can always take tylenol in the day if you are afraid of being tired from the cold tablets. Enough of being a mom- HA! Love ya - Mom & Dad

What excitement! The way of life that people have is so interesting to me. Keep up the great work and we love you.
Lawrence is loving summer. He is getting to be a water nut. We worked outside this weekend on the pond and Lawrence desided to build a pond in his swimming pool. He kept taking the rocks from the pond and putting it in his pool.
Do you remember all your camping adventures. Well we desided to go camping the other weekend and had a great time. One little mistake Montie forgot to update the tags on the boat and camper. He remembered almost to the camp grounds. He lucked out. We did not get picked up. The funny part was when we were ready to leave. Lawrence put it together and started to cry. He wanted to stay!!!!
Summer has hit and 4-H has taken over my life at work.
Love ya Lawrence and the other two (LaDonna Montie)
Heidi
Mom told me all about you adventures. I am the first to say that I would have been long gone by now if all that would have happened to me. Glad to hear that you time there is almost done. Will be leaving to go on vacation to Corpus Christi, TX this Friday so will be thinking about you while I am on the beach. Ha..... Jesse and Jeff will be staying together, watch out. Hope that you continue to have a blast as I am sure that you will. Will be thinking about you. Love Heidi
Krissi
Hailey! That is so scary! You need to find the policia! Make sure you stay safe, we booked our plane tickets and I plan on spending tons of time with you! I can not wait to see your pictures and listen to your stories. I am sure we can do some scrapbooking together, too! We are praying for you and we love you! Keep working hard, I am sure those kids are enjoying you. Now you know what my days are like playing with kids all day! So fun....
Love, Krissi, Ry and Tater

OMG Hailey that sounds scary! I'm glad they have someone watch for people overnight now. Sounds like you are having lots of different experiences! I love checking your journal entries. You are being such a good person getting out in the world and making it better! Love ya!
Robin
Hi Hailey, Just thought I would drop you a little note hope things start getting a little better for you. I am sitting here looking at the top of the box and laughing it says expanding my horizons that you are doing with a little twist you might call it. I just got back from taking grandma to the doctor she had a biopsy today and everything went well with the procedure. We are all thinking of you take care,stay safe, and have fun see you when you get home.
LOVE THE RODRIGUEZ GANG!

Hey, I talked to your Dad and you need a zapper or something!!! At least get some kind of spray or something to spray in burglars eyes, and be careful!!! I can't really believe they didn't have more protection set up for you kids there, so be careful!!! I will be glad when you get to the hotel areas this weekend your Dad thought?? I hope it is good, but still be on the alert. Much crime in those areas also, no doubt. Well, now for the fun part?? Sounds like you are working really hard and will be trained to do your folks remodeling projects when you return. Glad you are having some fun also, how is the art there? Do they eat 'oriental' type foods? Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables? Fish? No McDonalds or Pizza Huts?? Have fun, our prayers are with you!!!! Love, Karen, Tim and Katy!
