Cuba Redux

[desoto_hia873]

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 envy you with my whole heart. Seriously.

I know it's folly to bitch about the weather, but the cold/rainy vibe in my neck of the woods has me pining for sand, sun and foofy drinks. I'm having Puerto Rico flashbacks.

Have fun, you thing that is lucky! :D

I loved Cuba when Hubby and I went years ago. I found Cubans to be exceptionally nice and the hotel was the cleanest one I've ever seen. Although we stayed just outside of Holguin and not near Varadero or Havana, so it also wasn't overly "touristy" If you like pork, Cubans are known for how they cook it, especially if its outside on a spit. Yummy. I want to go back.

I'm sure you and Jim will have a blast!

Oh my gosh, that's fantastic! I know you'll have a great time...especially if you hide me in your suitcase. :0D
