In this episode I speak about the recent trip (in December 2014) I took with my Parents and (now) Fiancé, to the Dominican Republic.  I lead you in with some ambient sounds of Santo Domingo, take you on a road trip to Punta Cana where my girlfriend and I reflect on our trip up until that point, give you a seat next to us during a romantic dinner on the beach, and let you listen in on my (secretly) recorded proposal.  How’d I do?
