Hi, it's all about the adventure... ((*_*))
Apr 16, 2017 12:00 AM Haiti - only just
I am able to tick another country of my list but only just. I went to Labadee and even though it is located on the island of Hispanola there was no culture to be found.
This was just a beach resort for a day trip with not too much interaction with locals.
If I never went back it would be too soon, but I have to say that I did have a good day and if will to spend some serious money it is a great adrenaline rush with the different activities available.

Apr 15, 2017 12:00 AM Florida Keys
This is the first time really drove in the states and decided to head to the keys. I believe it is a 3 hour drive from Miami on route 1 and it is very hard to get lost as there is one road in and the same road out.
I tried to google the directions and it mentioned a route which was 4 minutes quicker. I was just wonder where it wanted to take me. Scary

Feb 25, 2017 12:00 AM Where in the world should I go....
I'm want to travel to far destinations this year, but it doesn't look like that is going to be possible.
But I so want to go on holiday, on the cards are Bermuda, Slovenia, and the USA. And if I could one long haul it would be to go to Burma. That would be absolutely awesome.

Dec 01, 2016 11:00 PM Finally home
It's good to be back in the UK. I had an amazing trip and was so very happy to get to Cuba finally. It was kind of what I expected but so very different. I've always to explore non English speaking parts of the Caribbean and now my second island. The next on the list would be the ABCs for me. But let's see how I can achieve that.

A nice time in good company. But happy to head home. Shame yesterday I didn't make the effort to go to Trinidad. But just didn't have the desire to do any more travelling. Two weeks and so many miles travelled. So many things seen and experienced. If I every make it back to Havana I will head to Trinidad. But after going to Antigua earlier this year, I can wait a while.

Nov 29, 2016 11:00 PM Soaking up the sun
Last day in Cuba, and almost time to head back to reality. Today for a fourth day in a row I headed for the beach. I mean it would be rude not to see what it was like.
Opposite the Hotel Ingleterra was the bus stop to take me to the local beach. It took us through the tunnel on to the other side of Havana and on to Santa Maria. The area seemed strange as I never saw anyone walking the streets or in the driveway really no one else apart from us tourists on a bus to the beach.

Nov 28, 2016 11:00 PM Cuba, making the best
My cruise was heading on to Belize and in some ways I would have liked to go, but I couldn't bear it on this ship. I was thankful that it was over.
Back to Havana to a country in mourning. Fidel had died on the 25th November and they had announced 9 days of mourning so no bars, clubs etc were open or allowed to service alcohol. Not sure if I had a premonition but it was shocking to hear that he died. The people I spoke with were neither happy not sad and really just wanted a chance to have a better life

Nov 27, 2016 11:00 PM Mexico - twice in year
I made a joke when I went to Cancun back in April that one of these days I would end up in Cozumel, I would never imagined that by the year end I would be here. And I really like the place. I liked having internet and being about to chat with people, I love the people and the shopping and appreciated going snorkeling something I haven't done in a while. I just had to walk from my restaurant seat and into the water and there was an abundance of fishes to view. I must go back to Cozumel.

Nov 26, 2016 11:00 PM Cayman - what to do on a Caribbean island
All I know to do on a small island it to head to the beach and I obliged even though I don't like beaches to much. But at least there are different things to do like swim with stingrays or on my part I tried paddle boarding. It was fun but kept on falling off but it was so great. And something different.

Nov 25, 2016 11:00 PM Jamaican - second time around
On a rainy day, I ended up with Montego Bay. I mean there was serious rain and I was heading to Dunn's river. I only hope the river doesn't come down. Or that climb would be very dangerous.
I'd been to Jamaica over twenty years ago and stayed in a small village called Runaway Bay. When I passed back through so much had changed. So many large hotels now occupy the beach front. On the other side of the road this seemed much of the same; I even found the little post office I visited to send my post cards home.
