Cuba - HERE WE COME!!

So finally some good news has come our way. Matts work has done something right and is letting him off the leash for an entire week (commencing March 26th) so we can go on a much needed family vacation. We've had savings put away for just this moment but never really had the chance to use it. We've either been moving (again!), working, studying, visiting family or just been plain broke. The good news is it turns out we won't have to use much of our holiday savings at all.

We are absolutely astounded at the price. For two and a half people to stay for seven nights at an All Inclusive secluded little resort right on the beach we thought we'd have to start working the streets. But nope - Cuba is so cheap we could have been flying there a couple of times a year. We're not even going to tell you how much as you'll just be insanely jealous! if you absolutely must torture yourselves you can visit a great little Canadian website called selloffvacations.com that specializes in cheap trips. Although there is a catch to having the opportunity for such a bargain - the economy needs to have collapsed and you need to live in Toronto all year round.

But that aside, we're very excited about getting some sun and sand after a horribly long winter and it will be nice to show Reed that the outside world really does exist. So Cuba - HERE WE COME!!
