Great to hear from you Garin and glad you are enjoying the Blau Costa Verde.

 Still O - O, now gone into extra time.

Extra time over still 0 - 0 now for penalty shoot outs.  - Tension in the house, unbeliveable.  Language - you don't want to know.
 
 And know of the house even supports Arsenal or Man United.

 Arsenal 5

Good match though, but Man Utd threw it away really.   They were far and away the better side on the day, but just couldn't score.

Sounds like I missed a good match

Well I would have sooner been where you are than sitting at home here watching the match on TV.
 
 Hope you can hook up with mojitomiss_cuba and the BIT (Kristen) next week - that would be really cool.
 
 They are staying next door at the PCV and flying in on Sunday.

Mr B I wish you were here too better than any football match

What the heck are you doing on line at 8.15pm on a Saturday evening!!!
 
 I've just had to endure the Eurovision Song Contest.  We were (the UK that is) a deserving 21st out of 24.  
 
 Our entry was crap.   I managed to forecast Greece to win with Malta second.    That's the first time I've got it right since Sandie Shaw won in 1967 with Puppet on a String.
 
 Get out and have a mojito, millwoods or cervesa.
 
 It's chucking it down with rain here!!!

Garin,
 do they have any mint yet?
 
 Mr B,
 Garin's resort ran out of mint early in the week and were waiting a new supply, so no Mojitos for them tonight.

What!!!! No mint  ;)

Wendy, we had some at PP, so you can always send Darling daughter into PP and sweet talk some out of the bartenders.  Not to worry, I'm sure they were just saving it all for you coming.     :D

Hiya Garin,
 
 Howz the weather today?  It's a bit cool here today.     :(
 
 Tell SWMBO that Mrs Rabbit got bitten by a sergeant major fish just in front of the Playa Pesquero.  That should make her day.     :D

Would the BIT really do that for her Mom - that would be a wonderful gesture.

Hiya Garin,
 
 Weather's beautiful here in the UK today - no mojitos here either.
 
 You must be 'Canadian filthy rich' to keep shelling out to come online every day.   Nice gesture though mate.
 
 Enjoy your final week and hope the sun shines all day long for you.

At least he has fast internet connection.  The connection at PP was sooooooo slow.  I logged in one day and it took 30 minutes just to pull up a page, I didn't even get a post up for my $4 CUC.
 
 PP internet was down for the last couple of days, and they wouldn't refund me for the time I had left.

Garin,
 
 We've heard from mojitomiss too earlier on.   You need to get that mint problem sorted out at the Blau though!!!
 
 It's been very windy here in the UK today - my central heating is on.
 
 Forecast is good for the next few days though, but who knows!!!
 
 Glad it's nice and hot where you are.

Garin,
 
 All good things must come to an end, so welcome back to the UK.  
 
 Look forward to hearing all the details as soon as you've recovered.
 
 Assuming Garin was flying into Manchester on MON324  28 May  it arrived 06:39

Thanks we had a 2 hour delay which was not to bad but SWMBO absolutely hates flying and 8-30 hours was just to much for her, getting used to UK time     :(  we made some very good friends and have been offered a place to stay if we go back to Cuba

Post by: JohnnyCastaway on May 28, 2005, 03:08:00 PM
Welcome back Garin!
 
 good to see you and SWMBO made it back in one piece.  Did the weather cooperate for the rest of your vacation?
Title: Re: Live from Cuba
Post by: Harlequin on May 28, 2005, 04:08:00 PM
Saturday was a rain day so did some  :t:  the rest was very hot with little rain, met up with mojitomiss  what a laugh

Mojitomiss is a lot of fun.     :)
 
 She'll be enjoying her last night there tonight.  
 
 Bulldog will be home tomorrow too.
 
 Is anybody else due back soon?

Garin,
 
 I have to return the compliment. You and swmbo have a super sense of humour. Loved spending the morning with you, sorry I didn't get back down before you left.
 
 So did you have to sit anywhere near Mrs. Rabbit on the flight home? I do assume this is the very weird woman we were laughing about?

She was several rows in front of us, they were the only ones to have a drink of champaign, can understand it on the way there.
