Our Holiday

Well we finally did it and took a holiday for the first time in our marriage and life together. Matt and I went to Cuba for 7 days on January 9th and I have to say I have been chomping at the bit to go back since we got home. it was so amazing!
To be honest when we were talking about a holiday, Cuba was the furthest from my desired location to go and visit, but I am sure glad I got over that and took the plunge and went because I don't think it would have been as great anywhere else in the world.
We stayed just out side of Havana Cuba in this quaint and older apartment style hotel, with a large pick of restaurants and few bars right at the resort, all was good, and you cross the road to be on the beach and a swim in the ocean. If we didn't feel like going to the ocean we got to sit poolside, pick up a litre of vodka for $4 and drink all day out of it. Great, then a short stumble for lunch and grab a large pizza for $3, what a great life, and the real bonus for me was I could smoke anywhere and everywhere I wanted to , no freezing your ass off outside.
And the people down there are all so friendly and hard working, a totally different outlook on life than we as Canadians have.
We also met many great people within the resort from different areas of Canada and had a great time with all of them as well, but I have to say my two favorites were Michel and Richard from Sherbrook Quebec, a couple of amazing and fun loving guys, was so nice to hang out with them and visit and just have a great time.
We also met a couple from Windsor who were just a blast, Veronica and Gunther and his very sweet mother, Matt went to an authentic Cuban dance and show with them one night in Havana.
Our favorite waitress there was named Julie and she was just fabulous and an amazing young woman, and so beautiful and sweet, I cant imagine anyone in the world not liking her. Then are favorite bartender was Danier, sweet and also a real looker and just a charmer in every way. For the most part all the staff were amazing and we just had a great time.
We were inspired to go by the price we got, we were wanting to stay for the beauty and the fabulous views, people and food, and ocean and pools.
I check online everyday to see if there is another special and we can go back, I would totally honestly move there if we could, I just loved it.
We have decided to make this a yearly trip and will try to plan it with Michel and Richard and hopefully can drag Jeff and Mara with us next year and have one hell of a party in Cuba with all of our friends, old and new.
So my advice to you now that we have been to Havana, is go and if you do, stay for 2 weeks not one, because it will leave you wanting more. Enjoy and thanks for reading.
