So after spending some…interesting time in Dominican Republic (to say the least) it was time to spend a few days with my family. I flew into JFK airport after my awful Dominican Republic exit.

My grandparents picked me up from the crowded international terminal at JFK. Customs was a long, yet painless process. At least the USA cares about me. I think.

Not much to really say about this leg of my trip, as it’s mostly a family visit. I ate some awesome food (grandma makes the best pasta ANYWHERE) and got to play in the river behind my uncle’s house. Here’s a few photos:

My gran and pop. The coolest gran and pop EVER.

My uncle Tony, cousin Scott, me and aunt Laura.

I’m glad this 30 days of travel has allowed me to travel and visit family. I saw my cousin a few weeks ago in Charlotte, family in Connecticut and then my father next week.

Next up: Costa Rica! Out of the entire trip, I’m most excited about that destination. Updates and photos in a few days!
