Miami & Cuba Cruise July 14 - 24, 2018

We just returned from our Summer trip to Miami, Key West and Cuba!  We had a great time!
We flew to Miami to spend a few days in Sunny Florida before departing on our tropical cruise to the islands.  The weather was beautiful!  We only had one day of tropical rain.  What could be better on a Summer vacation than sunny days at the beach, tropical drinks by the pool and some great dinners out on the town!

Our cruise departed Miami and stopped first in Key West
and then we cruised on to Cuba!  We stopped for two days
in Havana.  We took a tour of Cuba's capital city in a classic
car, had some great Cuban food, shopped for gifts and tried
to stay cool in HOT Havana.   We relaxed on the ship before
heading back to Miami.  We had a few more beach days on South Beach before heading home.  It was a great trip to a place not many have ventured to.

Weekend in L.A. June 29 - July 1, 2018

We decided to take a short stacation to Los Angeles.  We stayed at the re-done Sheraton Grand in downtown.  Our weekend trip included the usual amounts of food and drink before boarding the train home!  In our minds almost any trip is a good trip.
