Hola everyone.
Having a blast at the PCV :)
Met up with Garin and SWMBO today on the Blau's beach. Had a couple of pina colada's with them (yes the blau ran out of mint) :) I can't seem to help myself. whew, I'm getting hot and sweaty just thinking about them :)
Well I'm off to the beach bar for a mojito (mr b, check the mojito thread: I won't be beating your record) :(
15 minutes left, so I'll check back later
-
Hope you're having a blast Wendy, how is the weather?
Have fun
Heather

Great to hear from you Wendy, have been wondering how you were getting on. Sorry about the mint though at the Blau, but you should be OK for it at the PCV. Have you booked the Japanese restaurant yet?
Off to read the Mojito thread now.
-
Glad your having a blast Wendy ...you can still beat the record. :wi: or maybe not??
-
Hola Wendy! :eek: while your :1: :6:
-
Well it's quiet here tonight!!!
Bet it's a lot livelier down at the PCV with Wendy and the BIT.
Looks like Wendy is a beach person and the BIT is a pool person in the daytime.
Wonder what the situation is right now?
Wendy is no doubt drinking Mai Tai's at the bar, whilst the BIT is no doubt waiting for the disco to kick in.
Next door at the Blau no doubt Garin and SWMBO are quietly enjoying their evening meal.
I wonder!!! Wouldn't be great to be a fly on the wall!!
:dan:

Hey Wendy,
Great to hear from you. Too bad about the mint situation, however, now that I have met you, I am sure there is another beveridge or two that you can think of instead!!!! LOL.
Hope both you and the BIT are having a great time, and that you are taking lots of eye candy pics for us, sitting here at home with nothing much to look at, well, at least no hot, handsome cuban men!
Kimber
PS enjoy the rest of your week!
-
Kimberley, I'm surprised at you trying to lead Wendy off the straight and narrow!!!
I'll have to send the good :ham: Me
-
Glad you having a great time... I am sooo Jealous!
Have a few of these for me! :1: :moj:
Cheers

Hola everyone.
Just popping in for a quick second.
The catamaran and dolphin tour was great. Got some great pics
Mr. B, I have hardly had any mojitos at the swim up bar but believe it or not, I'm already famous there - me and my insulated mug :)
Gambitt: we're doing the beginner dive tomorrow. Kristen has a new passion - she wants to get her scuba certification - I've created a monster, lol
Well the BIT experienced her first hangover the other morning. She was at the disco with a couple of other young ladies and they drank a wee bit too much. LOL
Well I have to get back to ogling the beach boys and taking eye candy pics now.
This is my last time on - so I'll post sunday when I get back
Cheers!!
Wendy
-
Hey there Wendy,
Glad you could drop in. i'm so glad that you're enjoying yourself. Famous huh? You'll have to fill us in when you get back.
Have fun
Heather

That's just exactly how it happened to me! :) One dive at an AI resort, and I was hooked. Guess I'll just have to set you up with Pepi at my dive shop when you get home!
-
mojitomiss_cuba and the BIT will be enjoying their final meal at the PCV very shortly. Sounds like they both had a good time - I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall to see Mum's reaction when the BIT arrived back from the disco slightly the worse for wear through alcohol.
Maybe Wendy will tell all on her return home. There should be a good few interesting stories to tell with regard to mojitomiss's first Cuban vacation!!
:ham:
-
Well the day has finally dawned when Bulldog and Wendy will be arriving home.
Anyone any idea of what time to expect them back? I need to go the shops and mow my lawns this afternoon, provided it stays fine, and I wouldn't want to miss their arrival home.
Just out of interest I can only recall three people on this forum posting 'live' and all three have been staying on the Pesquero beach at Holguin.
Firstly flopnfly from the Playa Pesquero, then Garin from the Blau Costa Verde, then mojiotomiss_cuba from the Playa Costa Verde.
-
Wendy was on the same flight time as we were.
We walked in the house at about 4:30 pm. I imagine that she will be the same, assuming that there are no delays.
Bulldog left on an afternoon flight so I'm assuming that he won't be home until late tonight. I could be wrong here though.
We should have a welcome home party for them. :6:
As for the live reports, I think 3 live reports is pretty good considering that we've only been open for one month.
I found that reporting live was a great way to keep track of what we had done and were planning on doing. I also keep a daily journal, but for those that don't you will always have your live posts to refer to when writing your review.
I just wish that I had a better internet connection at the PP. It was too slow.
-
flopnfly:
Thanks for that - so Wendy should be back at 9.30pm UK time - let's hope she manages a post or two before the evenings out.
Party!! - What a great idea.
:dan: :6:
-
Was Wendy flying with Cubana Airlines?
-
Yes, she was with Cubana and not Westjet, I'm fairly certain of that.
-
Cubana Flight CU189 from Holguin is due to arrive in Toronto at 17:45 May 29
She's sitting in Holguin airport getting ready to depart right now. Probably in the duty free shop stocking up on last minute mojito supplies. :D
If that is her flight.
-
Heather;
A quick scan of Wendy's posts revealed this:
'Do I have the entire Cubana plane to myself?'
Well I expect I'll be in bed (JOKE!!!) by the time she arrives back home, but let's hope she and the BIT have a safe journey home.
Keep an eye open on the flight Heather and it would be great if you could update us all when it lands.
Don't think Wendy had too many mojitos this trip - but I just can't wait for a Mojito Challenge with her and a Millwoods challenge with you. That will be a real blast!!!
:moj: :moj: :moj: :moj:
:9: :9: :9: :9:
-
She should be in the door by 7:30 our time, which is about 12:30 your time. I'm sure she'll check the board to see if you're still up.
There are only two flights out of Holguin to Toronto, one Cubana and one Skyservice.
This is the page I check the flights on:

Thanks Heather for that link. I'll be monitoring that site closely later on.
First one to post when the plane lands wins a bottle of Millwoods!!!
:9: :9: :9:
-
They have landed. :dan:
CUBANA AIRLINES CU189 5/29/2005 17:45 17:51 HOLGUIN 3 Arrived
-
Wendy's plane landed at 1751
-
Blast you Heather - I had just gone to pour myself another coffee, came back, saw it had landed, posted, then lo and behold you have beaten me to it.
I'm really miffed about that!!!
-
I was busy staining my wood outside and I heard the plane go overhead. I wondered if that was hers and I came inside to check and lo and behold she had arrived. :)
Sorry Mr B.
Now the countdown begins for her getting home.
It took us 40 minutes from the time we landed until we were getting in our cab. Then another 20 minutes to home, she's about 10 minutes away from me.
Estimated time of her first post ???? Any guesses?
-
Assuming she will post tonight, I'd guess at 7.30pm Eastern time, 12.30am UK time.

Where's mojitomiss_cuba? We are missing you Wendy, please log on and post!!!
-
She's probably unpacking the mojito mix supplies and fixing a drink before she logs on. :9: :9: :9:
Did we ever find out how many she consumed?
-
Not too many I fear, probably no more than twenty five tops I would guess.
A pretty poor show by my reckoning!!
:moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj:
-
But keep in mind that she was limited to one bar that served them, and it was a fair distance from the beach.
I'm not sure just how big her big mug was but I'm sure it could have held 2 or 3 of those small glasses.
-
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. :blah: :blah: :blah:
Well it's 1.50am and I shall soon have to be thinking about <img border="0" alt="[snooze]" title="" src="graemlins/snooze.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[snooze]" title="" src="graemlins/snooze.gif" />
Hope she logs on soon!!!
-
She's here :6: :6: :6:
-
flopnfly:
Spotted her too - you beat me everytime!!!!
Welcome home Wendy and the BIT - hope you had a great time!!!!!!
:dan: :dan: :dan:

Mr. B, sorry to keep you up so late waiting for me. :)
Well I am home safe and sound and already suffering CWS :(
I'm doing a pile of laundry because unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow morning :(
Loved the PCV, had a super time and really glad I choose the resort (other than the lack of "real" mojitos that is, lol)
The BIT stayed up all night last night - proving that there really are 24 hour lobby bars. I obviously choose to get some sleep cuz I can't sleep on planes. She slept on the bus ride to the airport and pretty much the whole flight home.
I delivered my NJT suitcase to the hospital in Rafael Freyes rather than Guardalava on the advice of some of the resort workers. Believe me, when I saw the hospital I realized that they truly needed those supplies - broke my heart to see people doing without basic medical supplies. This city is definitely not on the "tourist routes" and it serves the entire outlying region so around 10000 people
When I get my second wind, I'll try to get some of my pics uploaded and I have to get the underwater pics developed as well.
I'm going to go try to read all of the posts I've missed the past week while getting my bloody laundry done (met up with a lot of brits at the pcv, can you tell)lol
-
I've got fast fingers :D
Welcome home Wendy and BIT, We've Missed You !!!
:welcome:
-
mojitomiss_cuba:
So pleased you are back safe and sound and thanks for posting so soon after your return.
Yes it is a bit of a downer to have to return to work so soon after arriving back from holiday, but we all have to do it, don't we!!!!! (Sorry forgot, some of us will never have to endure that particular form of torture ever again!!!)
Sounds like you had a real blast, you'll be pleased to know you were always being talked about behind your back, whilst you were away. All complimentary things I can assure you.
You've been missed and, although you probably won't agree, it's great to see you back!!!
Look forward to hearing all your tales when you can find time. I can appreciate that you'll be up to the neck in it for the next few days and having CWS will not help either. However we'll all do our level best here in Paradise to help keep your spirits up.
Sounds like the BIT really lived it up also!!
