“We’ve never been to Cuba,” said Doug, as he put the Christmas turkey in the oven. By the time we sat down to Christmas dinner, we had booked flights and three one-week adventure tours in Cuba, commencing January 15.

The Christmas holidays hadn’t started out very well; our 180-day around-the-world cruise had been cancelled in late December. Oh, we were sad. But then we moved on. Soon we’ll be walking on a warm beach, watching the sun set, and taking photos just like the one above.

Cuba, here we come!
