Cuban lunch, dinner, supper

Traveling to Cuba, we stayed at the Barcelo Solymar.  A very enjoyable hotel, with great staff, a beautiful beach and near the shops on the west end of Varadero.




As well as great shopping, these were several local restaurants close to our hotel.  A favorite of ours is Varadero 60, were we went several times, and enjoyed their delicious seafood and steaks.





And lots of local shops and a few bars...

Newfoundland & Labrador and another Bucket list trip

The east coast of Canada has some of the most friendly people and beautiful vistas.

Newfoundland & Labrador is where we need to go and find that special part of Canada that lives with us all.

This is why I added it to my Bucket List.  Getting to see the world is awesome, but I also need to see more of Canada.

We love our travel and getting out and meeting new people, learning about new cultures, finding new memories.

We also love Canada, it has so many diverse places and such lovely places to see.

We hope that you will find the time to find the places you need in your lives and that you take time to share your memories with all of us :)

Exumas, New Bucket List

Exumas

 
These islands look very exciting.  I think that we need to plan a trip here for the summer.
 
 
The Beaches in the Bahamas are so white, with the water so clear.  Although we spend most of our time in the Turks and Caicos, we need to see our neighbours to the west are up to.

Casa Magna, Cancun

Marriott's Casa Magna


We were at our favorite Cancun hotel, Marriott's Casa Magna, when our friends in Canada sent a message about how the weather sucks back home.  

Well of course when had to show them how we were surviving the cold Canadian winter...


I mean, it was all we could do just to keep warm...





I just do not know how we survived ...
