The Good Parts of the Trip
I was thinking about writing a lengthy introduction about Cuba, but then I realized that I would just be regurgitating things that can be found here. So visit that site if you’re game for a well-written synopsis of Cuba.
I’ll wait for you.
Done?
Good.
Our trip to Cuba was very relaxing.
That would be the best way to describe it.
No crazy scheduled tours or excursions to parts unknown. We stuck to the resort like glue, and it suited us just fine.
One of the first things I noticed is that even though folks seem to have far less than we do, they are very proud. This translates to a really great time. The folks there are really friendly, and to me it seemed they were that way not only because they had to be, but because they wanted to be.
We spent our week in Holguin, which is located on the Eastern side of Cuba.
The resort, though considered a Five-Star in Cuba, was probably more of a Four-Star elsewhere. Not that I am complaining.
The food was excellent, as was the service.
Our housekeeper was so awesome. We would write her letters in Spanish, and she would reply back, folgding our towels into swans and our blankets into big hearts. She was a sweetie. We actually just sent her a postcard from Toronto.
The best part of the whole vacation was the beach. The sand was nice, and the water was relatively shallow for a good distance.
We had great weather practically every day, and the biggest decision was whether to hang out at the beach or the pool.
We met a lot of really great people as well (which offset the stupid ones). The bartenders were also awesome.
I would definitely go back to Cuba if I had the chance.
Sorry if this seems so short, but we really didn’t do a lot when we went down there. It made for a refreshing stay!
Family Feud
I have two very dear friends, namely Dave and Kris, who are feuding.
Why are they feuding?
I have no idea.
Kris complains that Dave doesn’t really comment enough on her blog.
Dave complains that Kris doesn’t ever return his e-mails.
My good people, how will we end this War of the Roses?
Leave Kris and Dave some advice here, to help them resolve their problem.
Better yet, why don’t you two use this as a forum to work things out, you whiners…
