Eat lots of seafood, drink some rum, smoke a cigar or two, and if you have trouble falling asleep, turn on and listen to an old Castro speech or two.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image �and let them have dominion �and all the creatures that move along the ground". Genesis 1:26

Some Cuban resort for a week. Free trip for me and my wife and family.
What the devil am I going to do at a resort for seven days???
My idea of a vacation is -20, hauling a toboggan a hundred miles and winter camping...
I am told in Cuba you generally don't leave the resort even?? I got three books and they have a gym, beach, and all you can eat...hopefully that keeps me from going nuts
Hold me Tman...l might die of boredom!! Go bass fishing at Treasure Lake for a world record bass. https://www.alloutdoor.com/2013/08/26/cuban-chaos/w

I told them I'd bring back $500 worth and we can argue about who gets what once I am back. . As for the Castro speech, my boss just got back from Portugal , and there was an election going on. The party expected to win was the communist party, and their election signs had a hammer and sickle on it ...that's a hard pass on the commie speech good buddy, insomnia or not! I don't drink, but I do plan on embarrassing myself at the buffet ..

If you need excitement rent a car and pay no attention to a pedestrian police officer who blows his whistle at you as you go by. That's what I did in Cuba.
Turns out they have radios! Also, turns out some are in cars that receive radio transmissions!!!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

You can absolutely leave the resort. Cuba is about as safe as it gets. They hate Americans and French Canadians. Where r u staying? Paradisus Rio de oro. Hatred of French Canadians? I am liking these Cubans more and more...

I understand you will see a lot of neat old cars. Take pictures. I'll keep my eyes open. I love going different places, seeing cultures, etc... but the thought of just sitting and rotting in the sun doesn't do it for me. Not super into cars but I can appreciate a classic.

Great. Now I'll have to try and explain to my wife why I am trying to fit a pack raft into our luggage There's a good market for used rafts in Cuba, that can make it to Florida, so you won't have to deflate and pack it for the trip home. Keith

Keith See, it's tips like this that keep me coming back here. Plus, brownie points with the wife when I tell her the raft is for "humanitarian purposes".

You are most welcome to leave the resort, where you will become an instant target for communist criminals or communists who might decide they want to give you a 20 year vacation in a Cuban prison to make a political point. I know that is bad for business with Canuck currency a reason Cuba plays with Canadians, but all the same, the idea of bringing home a 12 foot tape work from eating pork or getting a tropical disease from bug bites sounds exactly like what you would get on a free vacation.
Smile pretty when you get naked out of the shower, as the comrades always have surveillance in every room.
Where is your next free vacation spot, Tehran or Pyongyang? Yep, like I said, you gonna die.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
