La Habana!!!

Hola de Habana!
¿Como estas? Everything here is going well, apart from our plane being an hour late, our taxi dropping us at the wrong address, the wonderful family from the apartment we entered bringing us to the right street, but to the house of someone they were touting for, getting to our original destination and […]

Travel Time!

Wow wee! Tomorrow I leave the fair shores of Ireland for MC Hammer styled Travel Time. Got last bits and pieces yesterday, such as my trekking sandals, hiking boots, first aid kit, socks, sweat absorbing top, mosquito spray, nail clippers, book on Cuba…ya know, tied up those few loose ends.
