@@thetravelingtoosmtlexactly. If it was flyable, he’d be flying instead of working on wing control. Unlike Torrey, some mountain sites won’t offer adequate air pressure on launch so this is great practice.
Hi, i'll be traveling to Riu Latino soon. Did they provide airport transportation? Or did you have to book private transfer? Ty i enjoyed watching your vlog and am looking forward to my upcoming trip!! :)
Yes it was a very minute vacation. We booked it with Sunwing. For Cuba it was on the higher end price range but still cheaper than other Caribbean destinations.
@@thetravelingtoosmtl Thank you. I was born there although I no longer live there. It was a lovely city when I was young in the 1950’s and 60’s. It still has some lovely areas now. Great food. Especially the fresh seafood.
Thank you for sharing your sweet memories from my favourite Varadero resort I visited many times. My best wishes to both of you. Please stay connected for more adventures. ❤
Hey guys how is driving on the island? I’ll be there in a few days but was a little iffy I drive in the US just fine I loved the outline of this vlog very informative! Thank you.
The roads are pretty good for North American standards but there are many roundabouts. The locals don’t drive as fast as a lot of the other islands and are quite courteous with road etiquette. Enjoy!
The official speed limit on the island is 37mph, but you can go as slow as you want, as long as you're not obstructing traffic. Also if you're traveling to the beaches on the west side, some drivers might try to overtake you. Just let them go. Other than that, Curacao is quite laid back when it comes to driving. On par with the culture.
Its only people from the USA that have a hassle to go to Cuba. I think all other American Countries can go really easy. example I am Canadian and have been to Cuba over 15 times and its as easy as booking and going.
U2 are honestly the greatest band of all time in my opinion. They continue to sell out stadiums and continue to write new music. You have to examine their lyrics and melodies closely with some songs to appreciate them.
Great video guys! We've never been to Cuba, but was looking to book this resort. Not sure if you've been to Mexico, but does it compare? Food, rooms etc?
Glad you liked the video. We have been to Mexico and many of the Caribbean islands. Cuba, in particular Varadero, has the best beaches hands down. No waves, no seaweed. If you are not a beach person you maybe disappointed with the food and level of luxury compared to Mexico. There is always something to eat but it can be repetitive. Please keep in mind that Cuba has very limited imports. I would definitely give it a try if you have never been there.
Really enjoyed the video, especially the kindness and joy that you both exude. Thanks for taking us along with you, I made sure to hit the subscribe button.
Interesting video. What strikes me about the resort is how sterile and boring it seems. The culture a appears contrived and unnatural. I don’t think enjoying all that arranged luxury and gourmet food would give me a lot of pleasure knowing that it is off limits to the average Cuban.
Great video, thanks for sharing your experience. I'll be going to Royalton in November, and I have a few questions, if you don't mind. 1) How is the food? 2) Did you encounter many biting insects--mosquitos, sand fleas, etc.? 3) How was the tipping situation--did you tip in US or CDN dollars, and how often?
Thanks for the questions. 1) Food: for Cuban standards pretty good. Huge breakfast buffet. Beach Bar Grill was under renovation. Great lunch buffet = main restaurant. A la carte dinner portions a bit small and without air conditioning 2) not many insects but bring bug spray. 3) we tipped in USD. Cubans are very appreciative no matter the amount. Don’t forget to watch the nightly shows.
We just came back from the Royalton Hicacos. The mosquitos are deadly, the food really poor, there is NO sugar in Cuba anymore. Everyone expects the american dollar as tips, Canadian coins are no longer accepted in Cuba, not even in the banks. If you still can don`t hesitate to go somewhere else. The only good thing was the beach.
Those types of people are who support the dictatorship, the money spent by those is used to buy patrol cars rather than ambulances, artifacts of repression rather than medication. It is simply be part of the crime against the Cuban people. 1054 politics prissioners languish in subhuman conditions just for peaceably ask be freedom.
