Today our taxi driver “Jonel” picked us up at 10:00 sharp and off we went for a day in Varadero. The 30-minute drive over is quite stunning and the roads are amazing. He said they are the only really good roads in Cuba. I guess it is due to the fact that the Varadero Peninsula …

Last night ended up not being restful. Garbage is picked up in early morning hours in the neighborhood and the dogs go crazy and it was quite loud.After about an hour, they all finally settled down and so did we. This also reminds me of island life, but not so homey. LOL. Yet the Cuban …

Magic transpired this morning. I woke up to the sounds of home in Matanzas, Cuba. Horns honking, dogs barking, people yelling ‘buenos dias’ and roosters crowing. Some of you may know that I used to live in St. Maarten and in my heart consider it home still. So it was delightful this morning to feel (and …

Today at 4:00am begins a new adventure and a longtime desire to visit Cuba becomes reality. Can’t wait to check it off my bucket list. We left the house at 6:00 and drove the five hours to Fort Lauderdale to catch our flight to Cuba. Check-in was quite easy as Southwest Airlines has a special service desk …

We have throughly enjoyed spending time with our family Marlies and Eef these past few days. I want to thank them for their wonderful hospitality and sweet natures. Visiting, washing, packing and catching up on websites was what our last few days consisted of. We went out to dinner to have one more meal of …

The first leg of the bus trip went as scheduled. We were dropped off at Frankfort Airport to await our transfer. We had about a 25 minute wait. My tummy had been upset and was visiting the toilet more than usual. When the time grew nearer to bus arrival we went outside to the stop. …

Slept in and it was fabulous. We even missed breakfast. We finally got our lazy butts out the door, had a quick lunch at next door restaurant and jumped on the bus into town square. I immediately wished we had spent more time here and not elsewhere in less unsavory places. Simply charming, historical, interesting, …

I am fairly sure I was in sleep deprived hell last night. The AC kept cutting off every single hour, Han tried not to but he snored enough for three weeks and the guest next door paced back and forth on their heels very loudly. It was misery. Got up today with maybe three hours …
