Today started with a whimper rather than a roar. We have a slow start to our day. Just as well as Deb isn’t too well, she has picked up a Cuban cold, and is now fighting her own “Cold War”.
So I set out this morning to tick-off the last Cuban Icon from my list, a Cigar Factory! Continue reading

There is now a new terminal at the airport that is pretty comfortable. Continue reading
