Overcoming my FEAR of WATER in Dominican Republic

Ryan and I ventured out and left Raiyah at home with Grandparents, and Penny. :) I was really nervous to leave her thinking she couldn't survive without me. But of course she is still breathing and thriving like she always does. We stayed at a Resort in Puerto Plata called, Sun Valley Resort. It's owned by a company we just invested in (cross our fingers it works). We were really impressed. It was absolutely beautiful. We went kayaking, snorkeling, waterfall hiking, boogie boarding, wind sailing; all the works. I've been afraid of water my entire life since almost drowning when I was around two. I don't remember this episode but involved my Uncle Gordon seeing my hat floating on the water and realizing I wasn't wearing it. Ever since I have been petrified of open water. Even seeing pictures of it makes me sick. But I have married a fish. Ryan would live in water if he could. So I am trying to support his likes, and I had a really good time doing it. There were a couple of times when there were huge waves coming at us on the kayak, or snorkeling past where I was sure Jaws would soon appear that I didn't think I would survive. But here I am happy I faced my fears. Dominican is beatiful. The exotic resort wasn't so bad either. :)
