Poor Bessy Friend's Hubby. noooo:

I know bless him .....he is a wonderful man .
I guarantee that within 24 hours we will be asked what the 'set up' is and patiently he will explain I am a friend not a second wife or anything . Then the fun normally begins lol:
But it works out quite well as I will also look after the kids sometimes and then they can go and have some of their own time ( queue the violins and romantic mush sick2: )

Dragging two wimmin and four kids around on holiday and he still manages "Romantic" moments with his wife eeek:

FO advice -
*
You must obtain comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses before travelling to Cuba. See the General (Insurance) section of this Travel Advice.From 1 May 2010 you will be expected to present your insurance policy on arrival in the country.
*
Crime, in the form of opportunist theft, is increasing in Cuba.
*
We advise against using mopeds or three-wheel Coco-Taxis when travelling around Cuba.
*
A tax of 25 Convertible Pesos (CUCs) per person is payable on departure from Cuba by air.
*
Dengue Fever is endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean.
*
There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. See the Terrorism section of this Travel Advice.
*
Most visits to Cuba are trouble free. 66 British nationals required consular assistance in Cuba in the period 1 April 2009 – 31 March 2010 for the following types of incident: deaths (11 cases); hospitalisations (32 cases); and arrests, for a variety of offences (4 cases). During this period assistance was also requested with regard to lost or stolen passports (46 cases).

More from the FO - (I'm sure she has checked all this)
Customs Regulations
Electrical items with heavy power consumption such as travel irons and kettles may be confiscated upon entry to Cuba. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are also subject to import requirements and may be confiscated. Such confiscated items are normally returned upon departure. For more information on Cuban Customs regulations currently in force, including lists of prohibited and regulated items, please visit the Cuban Customs Administration website.
Natural disasters
The hurricane season in Cuba normally runs from June to November. See our Tropical Cyclones page.
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit Cuba in August and September 2008. They caused considerable damage in many parts of the country, but particularly in the Provinces of Holguin (including the resort of Guardalavaca), Pinar del Rio (including the town of Vinales), and Isla de Juventud.
Health
You must hold valid travel insurance covering medical expenses before travelling to Cuba. The medical facilities in Havana are better than those available elsewhere in Cuba, but it is sometimes necessary to medically evacuate those who require urgent specialist care. This can be very expensive so you should ensure that your medical insurance covers you for this. If you require medical treatment you will be expected to pay in hard currency; a basic hospital stay can cost as much as £200 per day plus medical expenses.
Many medicines are unavailable in Cuba so you should bring any prescription drugs you take regularly. A copy of the prescription and a letter from your doctor explaining your condition can be helpful at customs.
Hepatitis A is common to Cuba, particularly in the summer. You should be aware that treatment is not readily available. Viral meningitis occasionally breaks out both in Havana and in other provinces of Cuba.
There have been reports of outbreaks of dengue fever and haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Cuba. Dengue fever is common to Latin America and the Caribbean and can occur throughout the year. The Cuban authorities are taking steps to control the mosquito that transmits dengue fever to humans and are advising people to wash their hands frequently to prevent the spread of conjunctivitis.
In the 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic the UNAIDS/WHO Working Group estimated that around 6,200 adults aged 15 or over in Cuba were living with HIV; the prevalence rate was estimated at around 0.1% of the adult population. This compares to the prevalence rate in adults in the UK of around 0.2%. You should exercise normal precautions to avoid exposure to HIV/AIDS. For more general information on how to do this see our HIV and AIDS page.
You should seek medical advice before travelling to Cuba and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up-to-date. For further information on vaccination requirements, health outbreaks and general disease protection and prevention you should visit the websites of the NaTHNaC and NHS Scotland's Fit For Travel or call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.

Back again ...just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water whistle:
Just waiting for some our trnasportation to arrive ( horse and cart and ox and cart today rubschin: ) to take us to go drive speedboats today eeek: . What could possibly go wrong ? scared2:
Tomorrow we have an off roady trip thing ( Growler and BM I hope that is acceptable) through the jungle terrain - muchly looking forward to that.
Pictures you say Uncle M .....What a shame I have forgotten to take my camera lol:
Still having a fab time. Cracking thunderstorm yesterday ...the ground shaking sort scared2: - but soon sorted itself out. It is most humid and hot here.
It was also Fidel's birthday the other day which is something of a national celebration here so hoooge parties everywhere. On the whole he is fairly idolised and the anti - american sentiment is still very much apparent. With Guatanemo being a very prickly suject indeed. Apparently it has the only McDonalds on the island ( but only for the American soldiers) and there are land mines around the perimeter to keep the Americans in and the Cubans out rubschin:
The lack of choice in the shops for locals and tourists is startling. Not so much in Havanna but other areas in the country. Which on the whole is a good thing ...The Brat and the other kids are having to deal with the fact that they can't have any of their usual branded muck and just try others things.
Anyways sorry to interrupt normal service yet again ....hope you will forgive the intrusion sad24:

Hello Miss D. cloud9:
No pictures? ~ I shall use my imagination then.
Sounds like a most excellent holiday. happy088

How typical of a wummun to take exactly the wrong meaning to a comment. ::)
You aren't related to my ex-wife by any chance?
Ok ~ two can play at this twisting the words game ..........
You must be really pleased that your holiday is going to end so soon. It must be terrible for you to have suffered a whole week and still have almost a week still to endure.
OR
It must be dissappointing to realise that your holiday is over halfway through. Time really flies when you are having fun ~ such a pity it can't be longer.
Geddit? Banghead

Anyways .....sweltering here. Speed boats was great fun even though mine was a duffer and a bloke had to come alongside and hit the control thing with a hammer. Having a Cuban racing towards you with a hammer was quite an alarming sight scared2:
Then in the bay we were whizzing around in narrowly missed some soldiers in the water with their rifles held high above heads carrying out some training exercise. You get 8 years in prison for killing a cow here I wonder what you get for accidentally running down a solider in a boat ?

If they were AMerican Fidel gives you a medal

If they are Cuban then Obama gives you a medal.
It's a win-win situation.

Castro's PA, Miss D statues, free salsa lessons for life, personal dolphins and pool, exclusive control of cigar exports to Cyprus?

Drapes on a tank you say ....isn't that a bit more Tipsy's style ;)
Anyways they get very precious about certain things ...the tank being one of them . The country is filled with propaganda and good willed sentiments but the reality is rationing, total lack of investment in the infrastructure and the people and an underbelly of discontent noooo:

Pure propoganda ...they have free health care and education afor ALL their citizens and speak to any of the tour company reps and stuff and they all spout the positives about this system. However we spent a day with a guy who drove us around and he told it like it is and showed us the horsepickles...looked like it was a building that had been bombed out during the war. In fact the best building . the most modern building and the most well maintained, was the Communist party headquarters noooo: - equity for all eh noooo:
Slightly different in Havannah as this has got some decent roads and facilities but elsewhere in the country all a bit tragic really. Yes they are there but that doesn't guarantee a standard of care of education . They all receive ration books for food. Are only allowed to work a maximum of 8 hours a day and up to a maximum number of days per week and are not allowed to get a second job to supplement their income because that is not the socialist way .
It is almost like a land that time has forgot in that there is hardly any mechanisation. Farming still done by hand , transport consists mainly of horse and cart or a bicycle. People huddle on the roads and hitch hike everywhere but they often have to wait for hours and at night there is absolutely no lighting except for what the stars provide - there are so many accidents noooo:
-
Tragic though it is it confirms my suspicions; the person who was spouting on about it (their healthcare programme) was, as I thought either duped or lying through her teeth. noooo:

There is no doubt that the machine that is the Government is ever present in all areas. The difficulty for these people is that they are restricted any choices. To leave the country they have to apply to the government as no one is 'entitled' to a passport. They have to go through months of interviews and processing and most of the time application is refused.
Fishermen etc are only given enough fuel for their boats for a return trip so that they would be unable to traverse the ocean .
Once Russia disbanded they have been severely restricted in terms of trading partners and mutual agreements and most people were expecting the government to follow in the same footsteps. It would appear that most are hoping that once Fidel and then his brother lose power their country will follow the same path and open up to a more free market based economy.

Obama seems to be thinking the same way if his recent "relaxation of certain restrictions" are anything to go by. All dictators have to die sometime ~ one can only wait them out and hope that the next one will be a better sort of guy.
Same applies to Zimbabwe
