This morning started as a perfect day. As the sun rose, and I knew I wanted to see Haiti. I was hoping to explore more, but Labadee is privately owned, meaning that we could wander anywhere and it was owned by the cruise company. Explorason woke just on time as we docked, and the jet […]
Royal Caribbean Cruise line to Jamaica & Haiti – Review Where do I start? We had received a voucher for a discounted cruise a year ago. We had always planned on visiting Jamaica as part of our world trip, but when we couldn’t get there from Cuba, I was so disappointed. Then when we were […]

Holguin Cuba & a colored glass beach Gibara We have been in Cuba for near four weeks and decided to come to Holguin so we could fly to Jamaica. BUT… why is there always a BUT ????? BUT in this case, it was when we checked on our last day at our Casa Particular. A […]
Santiago de Cuba is definitely worth a visit Passing by horse-drawn carts on a separate road, our bus journey this day seemed to take forever. We are pretty much going to the bottom of Cuba, nearer to Jamaica, and I am told it is different from the rest of Cuba. It seemed to be external […]

A time to just get out and enjoy each day, without checking Facebook, emails, and blogging. We reached Trinidad rather […]
