What to Take to Cuba

The teacher in me never quits!…LOL…If you are all caught up in your reading so far, here is a gentle reminder of what you should consider bringing with you on the trip. Just follow this link –

There is other interesting reading there as well. PLEASE note the info about having copies of passports, and a list of the emergency phone numbers for your ATM cards. DAH…if you lose your card, how are you going to contact Visa? your bank?

I would strongly recommend you come back to this when you think you are all packed!!! Better still, print it out and check off the items you have packed. Some items may be considered optional…guys…forget the sarongs!

And by all means...LEAVE THE FANCY JEWELLERY AT HOME…..(IF YOU DON’T YOUR SPOUSE WONT HAVE ANY REASON TO BUY YOU MORE). Seriously why chance it? This means that expensive engagement ring…LOL

As for ‘gifts’ please read to the end of the article for more on that subject…

Cuba Update

Hola amigos! I know this is a very busy time of year fro all of use with holidays and events fast approaching. Sergio is very excited about what he discovered on his recent trip to Havana and we will soon have an itinerary for you.

As has happened in the past, I will begin to send you ‘posts’ about the places we will be seeing while on the trip…Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad, as well as some other interesting information.

I am getting very excited just researching for those postings.

After Christmas, I will start the blog, describing all of the above and more!

FYI…final payment is due November 30th!! Thanks to those who have already done so!!!

I leave you with this YouTube video today..

Cuba here we come!

This is the first post about our upcoming 2014 trip to the island nation of Cuba. Our group is mainly composed of Canadians, but we are also fortunate to have three Mexican friends along for the journey. Stay tuned as we explore the culture and customs of Cuba, starting in Old Havana and travelling to Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Pina del Rio. Along the way we will see some of Ernest Hemingway’s Cuba, while sampling Cuban rum, maybe smoking a Cuban cigar and listening to some great rhythms… So sit back with a Cuba Libre and enjoy the trip!
