I know, I know… I’ve been talking about my 40th birthday since what feels like January.

The Pursuit of Pura Vida with Sunwing Vacations

Starting in December 2018, Sunwing began offering DIRECT flights from Vancouver to Costa Rica for their Sunwing Vacation Packages – and now that the winter is here, I am thinking it’s time to head back.

That’s why it was a no-brainer when Gracie and I decided to book a trip down south with Sunwing Vacations for 5 relaxing days at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Oh heck to the yes.
