If you know my husband’s and my stories from Greece, you may think the most dangerous situation was when our rental car’s brakes stopped working while we were driving on the edge of a cliff on a Greek island… But that isn’t what I’m writing about here.

I’m talking about one of the only times I’ve been out of the country without my husband – traveling with my friend, another female. It was a girls trip to the beach in the Dominican Republic, just the two of us.
