Hola My Friends .....



Well, I'm back and have to tell you that CUBA was ...............A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

The most difficult decision that had to be made was this:

" Shall we have a drink by the ocean or the bar today?"

There are so many highlights of the trip that I cannot pinpoint just one.

We swam with dolphins, took carriage rides into the villages to meet some of the locals, shopped at the artists markets, ate really really great food ( and some NOT so great - isn't that right Heather ?? ), took the hobie cat out into the ocean, flew over the resort in a flying boat and then spent time relaxing in the sun by ocean or pool ...


We drank in every sight , sound and moment of beautiful CUBA ( not to mention sampled a good variety of the many rum drinks on the menu) .


The people that we met in Cuba were friendly and so accommodating. They love to sing, dance and always have a willing smile to share with you. As we travelled through some of the villages I could easily see that many families do not have materials items that we take for granted here in Canada and yet, despite their obvious lack of wealth, I believe that they are richer than us in so many ways.
I cannot wait to return to share once again in the beauty of the country with Bugsy, Aly and JP.



If you are reading this post Judy, Gaily, Sandy, Crystal and "Flower", I want to say thank you for a great vacation. It was really fun to spending time with you all.


I can't wait for the post Cuba bash and the exchange of 2000 photos we took ....;)
