The Experience

First thing I noticed at Punta Cana Airport wasn’t the heat—it was this guy holding my name on a sign, grinning like he actually meant it. I’d barely gotten through customs when he waved me over, helped me wrangle my suitcase (which had lost a wheel somewhere between JFK and here), and asked if I wanted cold water. I did, badly. His name was Miguel, and he switched between English and Spanish so easily that I stopped worrying about my rusty phrases right away.

The air outside felt heavy—like you could almost taste the salt—and the parking lot was buzzing with families, drivers calling out, horns now and then. Our private airport transfer was waiting: a black Suburban with seats that felt like sinking into a sofa after a long day. The AC hit me in the face (in a good way), and for once, nobody else piled in. Just us—no random stops, no awkward small talk with strangers. Miguel tracked our flight on his phone (he showed me—my plane was late but he’d already adjusted), so there was zero rush or confusion.

We talked about baseball teams (he’s a Tigres del Licey fan; I pretended to know more than I do), and he pointed out where locals grab coffee along the way to Bavaro. The ride was smooth—almost quiet except for his stories and the low hum of merengue from his playlist. At one point, palm trees blurred past the window and I thought: this is it, vacation finally starting. When we pulled up to our resort, Miguel insisted on carrying my bag all the way inside. He said “bienvenido” with this warmth that stuck with me longer than I expected.
