New day new room.  Finally in a room that suits our standards.  Not that our standards are unreachable, but we don't want to stay in a room full of mildew and faucets that end up in your hand.  Not fussy, well maybe a little, but we want what we pay for.

The weather is still fairly chilly.  Forgot if I said this earlier, but Chelsea warned me and she was right.  They say "tomorrow will be better". Seems to be the answer to everything.  Reminds me of guitar hero that says every day "free beer tomorrow".  Remember that Curt?  You and Wil would see that sign daily back in the old days.

At least we finally got to unpack.  Seems like forever ago that we packed those suitcases.  We got put in a room that is farther away from everything, but it is a nice room.  Newly remodelled.  Think the last time that other room was remodelled was probably in the seventies.  Oh well took a while but here we are.  We pulled a little rank by saying we know four couples coming here soon and we might encourage them to go elsewhere.  I guess you do what you gotta do.  Dad pulled out the big guns.  

He's back to the sudokus.  My goal for this trip is instead of hearing him say "bam!  Another soduko done I'm going to work on Bam another SUDOKU done!

Ocean sights

And yes dad is wearing a sweatshirt and me my winter coat!!!!!

Old guys are cool

There is a man wearing this on his tshirt.  Noticed him twice at the resort.  Then we're having lunch and guess who sits beside us? No, the guy in the old guys are cool tshirt.  Later on in the afternoon we head for a mall.  Stop for a drink and guess who's sitting outside the window?  You're right this time.  Unbelievable. What a coincidence. Got my first mojito too.  Life is good.

And in the background plays a mariachi band singing guantanamara!  Go figure

Dad found the desserts.

Life is good and dad is happy he found the dessert table.  

Parts of this resort look very new yet other parts could really use some updating.

Internet is going to be quite an issue though.  You can only buy one hour cards, one at a time.  Don't know how dad is going to collect all of his sips.  Could be interesting.

First Day

We have safely arrived in varardero.  We arrived at the hotel at about 5:00 am.  BRUTAL!  It was a tough morning between trying to sleep and trying to wake up.  Dad slept well on the plane but me not a wink.  Our room is very very old and as of yet there is no hot water.  We've asked for a room change and will find out tomorrow morning, seem to recall that story before too.  

Until the next time, dad and mom.

Cuba 2016

Well it's a whole new adventure.  Thinking about those we leave behind but looking forward to fun and sun.  Here's hoping you can experience it through this info. We did learn one thing.  No sense going to the airport seven hours early because you can't get rid of your luggage anyway.  Had a great visit with Erica and zakir (sp?) sorry.  That was fun. Of course we thought about her at the last minute.  Anyway also checked out the outlet mall. That was kind of cool.  We'll check it out more on the way back.  Anyway, until we,re on the other side I'll sign off.
