Check out this video of James falling asleep at the table. Enjoy.

OK, the Cuba posts are done, and to read them from the beginning, you have to scroll way, way down and find Viva Cuba! Part 1: Travel. That was the easiest way to get the job done because as you can see, each post is quite long. I’m hoping to get pictures up soon on [...]

Saturday, May 10: Saturday morning, we were very grateful for Jose’s dad.  Jose had set the alarm on his phone to go off at 6am because we had to be in the lobby with our luggage at 7:00.  When he got up, he was supposed to phone his dad.  At 6:15, our phone rang, and [...]

Friday, May 9: Last day in Cuba. We took it easy in the morning, finally having nothing to rush off to. It was delicious to sleep in, and for the first time in a few days I wasn’t tired. I wanted to take some scenic pictures of the beach and stuff, so Jose and I [...]

Thursday, May 8: Thursday was a day that we’d really been looking forward to.  It was the day the majority of the group was going on a catamaran trip.  We had to wake up early to be on the bus by 8am (another reason for going to bed early the night before).  Everyone made it [...]

Wednesday, May 7: Wednesday was the day of the wedding. The wedding party, minus Natalia, met at the gazebo at 9am to chat with the wedding organizer.

Tuesday, May 6th: With Tuesday being the day before the wedding, we didn’t want to do anything too drastic so that we’d be exhausted for the wedding. We decided that it would be a good day to go to town and visit the markets for a little shopping. Heading into Varadero required that we take [...]

Monday, May 5: Once again, Jose and I took the unheard of luxury of sleeping in. We went to the beach again, and this is where it’s getting hard for me to remember what went on. We did so much, and went to the beach and the pool and the piano bar, etc. so often [...]

Sunday, May 4: Sunday started out slow and lazy – exactly the way it should be your first official day on vacation. Jose and I woke up late, ate breakfast at the buffet which was quickly becoming our favourite place to eat, and wandered down to the beach where we sat under a cabana and [...]

Saturday, May 3: The hotel was beautiful, and we knew we were in for a great week. When we were able to get into our room (so beautiful with marble floors and two double beds pushed together – rather odd), we had showers to rinse off the travel dust and got into our swimsuits. It [...]
