Saw these a couple months ago and now no longer available on Amazon or Etsy. Missed my chance.

Does anyone have the Freestyle Dailies or MDR menus for the 4 day Sky to Cuba?

I have the Dailies

We walked through the old city . First stop was to a school/orphanage where we delivered several bags of toys/toiletries, etc that we had brought after reading about what is needed and difficult to find in Cuba. We were offered a tour of the school and took a video of the children singing . So Heartwarming! We walked through the 4 main squares in the old city to see the cathedral and main monuments and historical sites. Then we drove down the malecon towards Fusterlandia which is an entire neighborhood covered with mosaic tiles. Reminded me of Parc Guell in Barcelona. Then we visited the Plaza de revolucion to see the square where Castro gathered millions and the Pope visited. We visited John Lennon park to see his statue and some once beautiful crumbling architecture surrounding the park. Blexie took us to a private home-turned restaurant called Mi Casa and had a wonderful lunch. We asked to visit a local grocery store (I always learn a lot visiting those) and discovered they have one for tourists and a very sad, limited supply version for locals. We saw Hemingway’s hotel and his bar, Floridita where we later returned for some famous daiquiris. (We were not interested in a large production show at nite so we took a taxi back out for dinner and some local music and drinks.). A little shopping down from the pier ended the day. It was just an awesome day! If you research Havana “things to do” on trip advisor and here you can make a list of what interests you and he will customize the tour to your preferences. Quick note - we didn’t opt for a convertible as it was at least 95 that day and the sedan had AC! Since you’re going during a cooler time of year a convertible would be perfect! Oh! Blexie really needs sunglasses (good polarized ones) and dish washing liquid (really - he can’t find it there). We took him baseball caps and he liked those I think.

We are looking forward to our trip with him this month! Good to know about the items he could use. Anything else to add on a good to know basis?

We had lunch but was like one hour or less but also had dinner I would look on line and see what you would like to see and just tell him when you get there.

 

Here are some of the pictures we took and where we went some things we added as our tour was 10.00 am to 10.00 pm

Loved the photos! What sites did you tell them you wanted to see?

Thank you for any insights and tour ideas you can give me for our upcoming cruise to Cuba.

Thanks for your great review...my daughter and I are going to Cuba on the Sun in a few weeks and we booked the Vinales Valley tour ! Looking forward to this even the bus ride.....LOL!

When are you going?

What have I started :eek: I am glad some of you are trying our Tim Tams and Dorset those penguin "bickies" (bickies is what we call biscuits in Aus - slang) might be nice but nothing tastes quite the same as Tim Tams. quote]

 

You have started a Tim Tams rush! Someone posted a link to the store in WA state that carries them so I checked it out since I live in WA State. Of course it is only 15 minutes from my house and after adding some Tim Tams to my cart, I added my zip code to check on shipping costs and it came up saying I was so close I could pick them up directly. Now I am in trouble. If these are as good as you say and I try them out, I now have a ready supply to these tasty treats! I guess it is a good thing my next cruise is to Alaska and not the swimsuit destinations!

 

Thanks Eileen!:D
