    At least Mom looks like she’s having fun…..

  2. Allison says:

    poor ladies in crazy hats. imagine embracing strange white people all day for a living with fruit on your head.

  3. Diana says:

    I think the guy at the back is checking to make sure he doesn’t have any fruit baskets on his head.
    You never know.

  4. CarpoolMom says:

    Gee, I’m from Washington state so when I think of tropical fruit apples don’t exactly come to mind……

  5. Penny Dreadful says:

    Well, I guess we can tell whose idea that vacation was.

  6. mark says:

    Why do i want to call that guy in back Bernie. hmmm Taking a Cruise with Bernie.

  7. Maya B says:

    At least the locals are smiling. Then again, they’re being paid to do that…

  8. Jeff B. says:

    She must’ve been so proud to pull off the ‘ole purse-matches-the-fruit-hat caper. Niiiice.

    they take this mandatory picture of you when you get off the plane in punta cana, DR. i’m sure there are a TON more just like this, with people all weirded out and confused….

    • slgrad01 says:

      Yes! I am sure there is the exact same awkward photo of me out there. They shuffle you through all these lines of people and before you know it you are having your picture taken after 5 hours on a plane. Booo!!

      • CarpoolMom says:

        Welcome to Fantasy Island!

      • Paola says:

        LOL, I find this hilarious since all the times I’ve been to DR I have never seen this done. I guess being Dominican-American puts me on a non-scam line. And yet they all know I wasn’t born there the minute I speak Spanish.

    • susan says:

      Yes, we were in DR in March and we have this horrible photo in an envelope somewhere. They take your photo and then have it up in the airport for your return flight, when you can purchase it (if only so no one else can gaze at your awkwardness!). It’s almost like blackmail. ;)

      For the future, folks, “No!” is the same in English and Spanish. :)

    Guy in the back just realized that if you wash the fruit with local water it is just the same reaction as drinking the local water….just a little too late.

  11. Shivs says:

    They just found out the fruit hats were not part of the “all-inclusive”.

  12. Becca says:

    The guy in the back had an uncomfortable trip over the border…he looks totally baked

  13. Heidi says:

    I thought Punta was a naughty word in Spanish.

    • ReginaPhalange says:

      “Punta” means “point” or “peak”. If you eliminate the “n” in “punta” then it becomes a naughty word that means, basically, lady of the evening…
      Trying desperately to keep this clean but still educational. :)

    Ned Colletti – is that you?

  15. Tim says:

    Unfortunately, Steve (rear) was the first hostage to succumb to the Jamaican Witch Queens’ spell…

  16. Kathleen says:

    At least the daughter didn’t turn into a zombie on the vacation, however, she’s clearly not looking forward to trying to get her zombie family through security.

  17. D'OH says:

    I’m Chiquita Banana and I’m here to reveal…I am the best banana, it’s on the peel…

  18. Jessica says:

    Too many pina coladas?

  19. Anon says:

    no way:O i went there a few years ago!

  20. Ponyo says:

    A little of the right makeup and the guy in the back could be a zombie

  21. RayRay says:

    I think the son is a zombie…

  22. TK CHICAGO says:

    The ladies in Dominican Rebpulic always look like that when they are a few hours into their shifts. It is hot and the airport is open air((( NO AC. But you knwo what it’s still a fun destination!

  23. Peter says:

    they obviously didn’t know what the Spanish word for “look at the camera” was

  24. dominicanlover says:

    The funniest part is they actually paid $10 for this picture!

  25. kits says:

    The guy at the back looks like he’s having a stroke. and not the brain/heart injury kind ;p

  26. PTSD says:

    Apparently they decided to go on vacation in the Dominican after all the rooms at Hotel Guantanamo were booked.
