Cuba Redux

So, it's back to Cuba again. Well, not literally, as I've never been there before, but theoretically after not going to Havana with my father last month.

After checking out hotel prices in New York - recovering from the resulting mutual heart attacks - Jim and I went in search of somewhere less expensive to spend a week together. May isn't exactly high season for the Caribbean, which means rates are lower, so we're off to Paradisus Varadero on May 20. Five stars! Woot! I expect it'll be stinkin' hot, but that's OK - they have a swim-up bar in the pool. :-) Also, I'll consider it training for Atlanta in July.

I've been seeing Jim for nearly two years now, but he lives three hours to the southwest of me - we've never actually spent an entire week together. I hope we still like each other by the time we get back.

I toast you all with fruity rum drinks!

I'll miss you at WriterCon - I was looking forward to meeting you in real life - but you can't go wrong with San Diego. I have an aunt who lives there and she gave me the grand tour a number of years ago. I was deeply impressed with Hotel Del - I kept expecting to see Cary Grant every time I turned a corner. If ever I win a lottery, I'm moving in.

I had a dream about you last night. I think I was in California with Linus. You were wondering how he could be there and I was trying to explain that he'd come back for a visit. You were also oddly faceless, presumably because I've never seen your face. At least my subconscious didn't make you two-dimensional and yellow. :-)
