Re: Those Trattoria pizza's

Not a bad idea Bulldog, but I would hate to ruin the pizza's.
 
 I really was not impressed with the chicken, I've had better chicken nuggets from McDonalds.  Now that should tell you something.

Now Heather - I wouldn't go that far!!!
 
 Mind you I've never eaten at Mickey D's so I wouldn't know. My grandkids do like their Chicken McNuggets though.
 
 The Sports Bar staff thought that the Misty chicken I took them was fine - mind you their favourite meal was Black beans and rice, so maybe I shouldn't put too much store by their opinion.

Well..why not give it a try..  :D

Ahhh, Misty Chicken, yummy....
 Ahhh, Bacon and Shrimp Skewers, yummy....
 
 Wait, get across to the other side of the walkway and back into the Trattoria, did anyone ever have anything to eat here other than pizza?

Those little skewers were amazing.  Very small and not very filling though.
 
 One day a group of us at the pool went to the beer garden and after asked for a selection of food for our group.  WEll, a couple of the guys in the group had been flirting with this particular waitress all week, so she rewarded us with 2 big grocery bags full of take out food.  We took it up to the pool and made a buffet!  It was amazing - enough food to feed 15 people including several pounds of misty chicken, fries, skewers, deep fried cheese balls, ...  When we were stuffed we took the leftovers to the towel hut and the staff enjoyed the rest.

Mmmmmmm, stop it, you're going to make me start checking the prices for the PP for October!

 Well you are the man that's studying all the deals for October and November, so what's looking good for you at the moment?

 The Pastor is examining all possibilites.   He was thinking of Breezes Jibacoa but the prices appear to be rising for this popular hotel.
 
 He'll find somewhere I'm sure and, much as he and Mrs P loved the PP, I'll wager he goes somewhere different this year.

Hey....I went in October last year to the Iberostar Daiquiri - last minute (10 days before and paid $780 - taxes included...for 4 of us 2 adults and 2 kids - a total of $2400 for the semana.  October 18-25 and not one iota of a hurricane.  But, it booked up pretty tight by thanksgiving - around 10 days before.
 I am going to the Jibacoa in early November but will wait till October to book. It is still slow season.
 If you pay now....you may lose $4-500 pp....wait till at least Sept to book.

Mr. B.  Nothing is "looking good" yet. I'm just watching general prices for all of Cuba and watching how they drop over time. I expect things will begin to move on a more regular basis by mid-summer and that's when we'll look more seriously, if we are able to go at all.
 
 I'm a creature of habit, so if we hadn't booked and I saw a good PP sell-off I would probably nab it, my wife and I would go back in a heart beat. That said, the bulk of our interest is in Cayo Largo in general, for the peace and quiet of nothingness.
 
 Those prices for PP for the fall are way out of my league. I'm hoping for, but not expecting, prices similar to the June sell-off's we've seen these last few weeks. I won't pay over $2000 total like we did for PP last November, in fact if we can snag the cost + taxes below $1500 I'll count myself lucky. Expecting $1600 - $1800 in the end.
 
 The beaches (not the naturism) of Cayo Largo beckons me, but so do good deals, and those pizza's, sigh , I can't wait for another dozen or so.
