Hi Headline!
Good to see you still check in 🙂

Which photo did you want to steal? 🙂 I realize the warning is a bit paranoid, but when you make a living from images it’s a standard precaution.

glad you are back, terrific photos. Can’t wait to use one as a banner for my blog (just kidding).

Hi Duc,
not silly at all. I was told high-speed isn’t available in all of Cuba. This resort only had dial-up internet. Torturously slow.

If you stay within the resort, yes – English is sufficient. I found that outside the resort most people don’t speak even a word of English, but this was a fairly remote rural location.

Hadn’t visited Havana, can’t tell you if that’s the case in the city as well.

Kat,

Silly question possibly…do they have internet & broadband in Cuba?

Can you get by in English?

R.,
it wasn’t perfect (too cold most of the time) but yes – it was fun!! Lots of memories 🙂

TSS,
I’m short going into next week! (though hedged somewhat)

Of course, brought back Havana Club rum and cigars. Tonight had yet another tasting session 🙂

Welcome back! Hope the trip was as fun as the pictures are beautiful. As an American I can’t legally go there – was tempted when I was living in Canada, but never pulled the trigger; very jealous. Did you at least bring back some good smokes?

BTW, looks like you’re back in time for a possible melt up in the market.
