Finally we have the long awaited proposed itinerary. For those who have travelled with us before, you know that we sometimes make last minute changes if we come across something that attracts us. This is not written in stone (maybe sand…script since it is blowing here today). We are open to reasonable suggestions…don’t even think about skipping the rum and cigar factories and don’t miss those famous daiquiris and mojitos!!!!
