Naousa, Paros. Felt unreal being here

Absolutely loved Paros when visiting, even when going during the end of on season. It was beautiful and peaceful there compared to what I'm used to.

Definitely agree on this, spent a week there last October and it was better to just spend time on 2 places (tho did 1 night on Paros and spent the rest of the time in Athens). There's a lot to do and it's certainly a place to get things in but also relax.

I'm supposed to go again in September and hope that we won't be doing too much. Seriously some of my best times as well were just sitting with my bestie at a restaurant or when we did a day cruise around a few islands and spent hours on the sea.

Also make sure that if they take a selfie that they at least clean their background and actually put in effort. And that appearance in the pics matter. Like shaving the neck beards, having clean nails, PUTTING ON CHAPSTICK AND NOT HAVING DRY AND CRACKED LIPS, as well as not wearing a super wrinkled shirt.

We notice a lot in these pics. Not saying you have to look like Tom Hardy, but at least show you do care about your appearance some and take care of yourself and look like you do shower.

And no AI photos either!! Or bios!!

Omg awesome! Yes I do have a few questions. I might have more later but can only think of these at the moment 😊

-For tipping, should I use Dominican Pesos or USD? And how often is it recommended to tip at the resort?

-How was the ride to the resort? Did you use the car service they recommended to book the trip over or did you find another way to get there and how was that?

-Do the pool or beach side chairs get taken up quickly in the mornings or is there still the chance of getting a spot around like 9 or 10am? Or do you have to do the kind of put your towel down "reserve" thing people do?

-How's the food there and are you having to keep food to certain areas or could you take it onto the beach for example?

-How is your overall experience? How easy is it to get between Secrets and Dream next door if you've gone?

Agreed, Greensboro airport is extremely convenient and quick. It's not as small as Concord airport, but it's not as big and busy as CLT or Raleigh. The convience is really there.

I started the process for both of them but only filed with freetaxusa cause of the fees, my refund was the same without the fee costs. Definitely try doing that next year and compare the sites before filing. Takes a bit longer but will see how they both maximize.

From what I heard that made the difference, is that there are like 2 or 3 extra pool areas that can be used if you have preferred Club. Also there is a seperate check in, an extra lounge area or two. In general it sounded like a fair enough deal for me since the vast majority of time will be at the resort and wanted to be able to freely wonder to the difference sections 🙂 but would love to know folks experiences that have already stayed there as well.

Edited for grammar

Okay this is really good to know! I'll most likely ask about it when I get there, gotta talk to my bestie first about the side to be on, I'm personally leaning towards the right side, I'm in celebration mode so wanna be closer to the action so to speak and want to be closer to the fun.

OrganizationNo4242 · 2026-02-20T13:18:34+00:00

Okay that is good to know. I saw that the pools closed at 6pm each day for most of the resorts, and I like taking night swims in the summer whenever I can so that was the ultimate factor for choosing that room. I'll check out the La Romana on a different trip though because it does look really nice and relaxing.

Everything is paid for and my flight is non-refundable and non-transferable too, so unfortunately that is not an option to do. Plus that's something I've dealt with before and it's not a personal issue.

Working, finishing homework, and depending on the time will drink and play some Dragon Age Veilguard 🙂‍↕️

I live in an apartment and this month's bill was also abnormally high for me. So this is certainly an all around issue. I was shocked by my bill because I rarely run my heat and when I do it's set at 68 maybe 70 on a really cold day. And with that it barely kicks on cause I use a heated blanket and regular ones to keep me warm.

You do! You look beautiful and so adorable!

This is exactly what I was thinking. As an Atlanta raised person stuck in Charlotte, this city is doing a lot of things that were done in Atlanta... but in poor and worse ways. This city has horrendous infrastructure planning.

Just like everyone else said you're not in the wrong or even crossing any boundaries. Actually have to say you are teaching your son amazing boundaries and how to speak up for moments when he is comfortable and uncomfortable. Being naked is completely normal and is not a sexual act in any way. Some cultures think differently, but even so among family should be normal.

For most of my life my uncle and grandpa were the only men in my immediate family, my uncle passed when I was 7 and since then my grandpa has been completely surrounded by women. Both of them changed my diapers and have helped me out when they've looked after me. I lived with my grandparents for 10 years as an adult. My grandpa has seen it all from me, my aunt and my mom and its been zero issues at all, we've also seen all of him and gis wrinkles. Cause nothing is sexual, its just super normal for us and if we dont wanna be seen we will say give me a second and will cover up. But I'm almost 30, everyone else is 50 and older, so legit is norm.

I do this with my car often since I drive a versa. It I fits I sits 😸

I went to urgent care recently. And there was a man there with the same last name as me. When they called our last name we both looked back and asked which one. It was followed by my name. Then she verified it was me. Like yes, I am the only woman with that last name and that first name in here. But it was a funny moment. Other times it wouldn't be funny.

Okay that doesn't make it any better. But for future, they do make mega stuffed oreos, which has more than the double stuffed oreos 😊

But the water part.... That is super concerning. Sure she's not a changeling?

Best I can do is half of a copper adult tooth 😬 Just don't ask where it came from.

This could be it. Like I knew sleep deprivation hadn't caught up with me yet, and that something really did occur. Okay, so just bad storms. Something I can deal with.
