Hi Mick,

I look forward to reading your review afterwards, or perhaps Sally might beat you to it!!

Have a fantastic time, I'm currently thinking about going in 2017. They might even have wi fi by then!!

Cheers,

Bob

Bob,

Will definately leave the forum review in Sally's capable hands although i'll be updating my blog, Having met Sally once I'm sure we'll all have plenty of laughs and there will be plenty to report.

Mick

Hi Mick, I look forward to the blog and the review, have a blast!

Cheers,

Bob

Liz,

Hope you will write a review for the benefit of us in the October gang :thumbup:

Bob,

Suits me to live a couple of weeks without wi-fi but will have to keep a diary so can write up afterwards, cant trust the memory these days :huh:

Mick

Hi Mick! Remember me from the Minnesota splinter group of 2013? 🙂

I did the Cuba trip in 2012 and loved it all but it really was like turning the technological clock back. A few tips which probably survive the most recent changes... a torch as street lighting unpredictable, biros will be begged on the street, take toiletries for tips in the hotels as money less use when shops have no stock (uk hotel freebies fine), gifts pretty inexpensive and beware the cuba libres as mainly rum which is cheaper than coke! !!!!!! I remember my mouth becoming disconnected about 2am one morning in Havana :blush:

Enjoy:thumbup:

Hi Dianne (or is it Dee ann, lol),

Good to hear from you it seems a long time since we were part of the Minneapolis 17, was a good laugh despite all the disasters.

Steve & June were on the same holiday (Heart & Soul) last year so was good to meet them again. In fact may see June in Sept as I'm up in the North East and she is planning to pop along for a coffee and catch up.

Met Derek & Clair ages ago when they had a weekend in York, also saw Wendy when she came through but its all a long time ago.

take care

Mick

Thanks for the replies folks. As Mick says, I also like to keep a diary, so will take my laptop.

I was in Cuba earlier in the year. Although wifi is not available, mobile phones worked there, even my Tesco pay and go, there was a reasonable signal in most towns. It's an amazing country, now is good time to visit as they are already gearing up for the lifting the American embargo. Deep water ports are well under construction for the expected influx of American cruise ships.
Hi Liz I have heard from others that wi fi is virtually non existent in Cuba I'm afraid!

You'll just have to immerse yourself in the culture instead and forget about the outside world!!

Have a great holiday,

Bob

I'm going on the Sept trip, Does anyone know from past experience if wifi is available in any of the hotels used?
