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 …

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 …

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 …

I thought our next stop was to be Zurich and high tail it out of Italy forever but I thought wrong. </br> Enjoyed a good breakfast, grabbed a taxi to the bus station and then the following scenario began which I posted publicly on Facebook because people need to be made aware of this type …

Packed and not really ready to go, but time to go and leave Venice behind. Travel Hint: If you are staying anywhere in the center of town, I suggest calling for a porter to retrieve your luggage and meet you at the people mover. Cost Euro 20.00, but saves your back and offers a relaxing …

Today we ate a simple breakfast at the hotel, but the coffee was outstanding. I could not wait to get out to “feel and breath” Venice. I think we reached our record high in photos for one day. It is just like you see in movies and TV shows. It was perfection to me. Now …

If you notice me not writing on some dates, those are just travel days. Not particularly eventful to note. Jump on bus, jump off bus for snack, jump on bus, occasionally wish the driver would slow down, speed up, stop talking non-stop, be a little friendlier, have more leg room, wish other riders take more …
