Hi Peaches (and everyone else),
I, too, am looking for great vacation places, probably in the Caribbean. I have been to the Dominican Republic, and it is BEAUTIFUL. I spent most my time in Punta Cana, and while the beaches were beautiful, the nightlife was a little dull--but that is changing quickly! Particularly because of Webster Hall, a club opening i believe in December. Check out their site, it looks pretty sweet:
Webster Hall Punta Cana - The Greatest Party on Earth!! Great pics and info. Good luck!
