  Thought it important that someone look after the transportation issues, especially if Mojito miss is in attendance! After a full day of Mojito's Wendy will need all of our help just to get to the next bar!  :wi:    :wi:  Sooooo having some experience in that department, thought Tracie and I would take care of it!!

That could well apply to me also, especially if we are in the middle of the 'Mojoto Challenge'.

 Are you still watching and waiting, or are you getting anxious to book for November?
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Hi Heather
  Remember "Good things will come to those that wait" Absolutely haven't even thought about booking and we won't until the bitter end. Remember there are at least 4 or 5 planes departing Toronto on November 12th and 13th to Holguin, which means about 700 seats are available! We went to Varadero last Nov. and could have gone to Holguin for about 1/2 of what they want at this time! Soooo we will wait and watch!!! But will be in Holguin on Nov. 12/13 for a week!!!
 
 
          Cheers............F&T

I guess Cuba is different because there are no Americans going there.  
 
 For other destinations at that time, the planes fill up fast.  Anything around the US thanksgiving week is busy.  I've seen us waiting until the last minute and not getting anything, we've even had to change our week.

We don't really care what resort we go to so not having a specific hotel or a set in stone flight, really helps when it comes time to book! We won't be dissapointed!

We don't care either, but John wants to get some diving in so a place near a dive shop would be good.

  No problem, the marina/dive center is really close and all of the resorts have access! John certainly will be a happy diver. Have you and John been to the Guardalavaca area before?

Just for a day visit in May when we were at Playa Pesquero.
 
 John was diving with Eagle Ray Dive company (I think)

I'm sure I offered my 2 cents about why not to go in Sept/Oct - can you remind me what the bad everyone said was?  Chance of hurricane and what???
 
 October is starting to look good to me.

Lesab33.
 
 Can't you wait until November 12th.   That's seems the most likely date for the Cuba Holguin gathering.
 
 It would be really fun if we could all meet up.

Wait?  No comprendo??
 
 Bellagio you just don't understand what happens to me.  It's a disease.  It starts with someone mentioning a cheap flight and then it just spirals out of control. I've been to every end of Cuba this week alone. Ask me on Monday where I am going?  Trinida area.. tuesday it's Santiago de Cuba... hey by Friday I'm back to Cayo Coco.  I need help!

I'd only be too pleased to fetch all you lovely ladies the drinks, but by the time I get around to being served I've usually forgotten what people want.   If everyone were  to stick to mojitos and millwoods that would be fine, but if I have five or more different drinks to get I just can't remember everyone's order.
 
 Also I'm hopeless at carrying drinks, I always manage to spill them.   Great idea Wendy to send the 'kids' for the drinks, provided they'll get served.   I just knew they would come in useful for something!!!     :rof:          :rof:
