I have family in Cuba. Went in summer 2000. Returned to Cuba in Jan 2009 and finally made it to Trinidad, my grandmother's home town. My cousins in Trinidad rent out a room in their beautiful 200 year old colonial home. If you would like more information don't hesitate to contact Julian and his wife Isabele at jsantanau@dmst.ssp.sld.cu. Isabele speaks English and is a wonderful cook. Trinidad has become a UNESCO world heritage site.

Thank goodness I chose to take the direct Virgin Atlantic flight - I slept like a baby right through, the result of partying all night the day before. I had an excuse, though. My beloved Chelsea had just won the…

Cubans and HabanerosThose who know me will know that I love to stereotype people!  Not in a nasty sense ... but since we’re leaving Cuba today, here goes my view of Cubans and the Cuban life: It seems a disproportionate number of people have amazing bodies.  They may work out ... but…
