Holidays in Cuba

This winter here in Canada is a little bit colder than previous one, so we decided to have a break . So we we decided to go in a one week vacation . Choosing the destination was also a decision to make, and we decide to go Cuba, and we are happy that we did go there.
Firs thing was to find the right resort to go, and for this we did go to a travel agency, we are happy we did so. Real deal are there. and we looked a bit around, but still found the last minute deals and very well ones; 1 week inclusive for 2 people, in Varadero, Cuba, all $ 1360.00 only, just amazing.And really was so much worthy.
The day that we left Toronto was so cold and windy, so we were glad to really leave, and after 3 hours of pleasant travel, we arrived in Varadero, Cuba. Was late at night, but very warm and we found the right and warm accommodation , from the people that work there. The lobby was full with people , was very loud and busy too.The day that we arrived  there, we have been told that there were almost 20.000 Canadians there already in vacation.The very next day, we start going to see the ocean and was amazing . everything was so beautiful but something that was very impressing, was people that we have seen there. Very friendly, happy faces and reminded me my own country many years ago. I think I missed that in many years now.
 We had a very good time, we meet a lot of people from different parts of Canada, Vancouver, Halifax, Owen Sound,Hamilton, Montreal, even people from Europe, Italy, Spain , England, Germany, France. Was really impressing to see haw people escape the winter through those mini vacation. We had a blast and really helped me to restore  my health too. I enjoyed every day there, was everything amazing, the resort had a lot activities  every day, in the beach, dancing, fitness, theater every night. I still miss their coffee . I try to learn salsa, and I enjoyed that very much, I love dancing so was a very big activity for me.
We did go to Varadero, the city, and get too see another reality out of the resorts. People there work very hard for just a little bit of money. That make you realize and preceate what you have and you really have to be thankful for everything.
We left with very good impresions and we really want to go back for another vacation whenever it is possible  for us.We bought some suvenirs and collect some shells from the ocean, and we really took with us a lot of memories, but one thing that we took in our harts was wanderful people who will remain in our harts.
We belive that Cuba it is a very nice vacation destination for Canadians and we encourage people to go and try. A lot of people there are living only through tourism and this is very important for their economy.

Those were little thoughts about our winter vacation. Soon I will write more abouNina
