1-week getaway in Cuba (Dec 2-9, 2007)

I've never been to Cuba before but it's a popular Canadian winter getaway. I was quite pleased. If you don't stay on the resort there's so much culture and beauty there.

1-week getaway in Cuba (Dec 2-9, 2007)

An all-inclusive resort isn't what I would call "travel" but it's definitely a must when you live in Canada and during our winters (I hate the cold lol).

Our resort, Sirenis La Salina in Varadero, however was amazing... brand new and huge (needed golf-cart type vehicles to get us around). Apart from food, drinks, sun, beach, snorkling, clubs, did I mention drinks lol... we did do some off resort sights: the first tourist attraction in Cuba and also did a day trip to Havana which was definitely worth it (unfortunately we only hired our driver for 1 day).
