We're off on our second trip to Cuba. This time, we will be traveling across Cuba by bus with my sister, Pat, from Sacramento, California, our tour organizer, Paul, from Texas and fifteen others from the Sacramento area. We flew to Havana (a long 1 hour and 10 minute flight 😜) and waited at the airport for the California gang to arrive.
This was the Oversize Luggage claim area at the Havana airport. People (mainly Cubans) were bringing in large bundles of clothes, flat-screen TVs and other supplies that are not available in Cuba. I've never seen such large bags of stuff like this before.
We were picked up by our bus and our wonderful driver, German. The bus was new and very comfortable. This was our main means of transportation for the whole week.
On our way to the Hotel Vedado, where we stayed for
the first four nights of our trip, was a nicely decorated wall.
We all went to dinner at the Hotel Presidente.
While waiting for our dinner, we had time to meet and get to know some of the group. Other than my sister, Pat, at the far left, and Darlene in the white blouse two seats down from Pat, we didn't know any one else there. They were all very nice people and we had a lot of fun with them. BTW, we just had to include the beautiful chandeliers in this picture.
A large urn decorated the lobby outside of
the restaurant in the Hotel Presidente.
