... until 6 PM and it was only one in the afternoon. After three hours playing solitare and Karen on the WiFi, we made our way to the Leeward galley for dinner and then killed off another hour at the Clipper Club shooting pool. 6 PM came around and luckly a room reservation had opened up.<br><br>Later that evening, we got word that the UC-12 had to make an emergency landing on one engine in the Bahamas.

... home on a horse and cart.  The horse was so tired, after 500 meters and all our money gone, the horse gave out, he was on strike and nobody could do anything about it... so it was another long walk home.  <br>One evening we were on our balcony and our neighbour who was already tipsy started to chat with us across the street.  He invited us for drinks at his house, Craig took him up on the offer. Armed with a bottle ...

... and stumbled to our casa quite late. A few  days later we bumped into one of the students at the bus terminal.  He wanted to give us a reggaton CD that he and his friends recorded at a studio.  He waited for more than an hour for his friend to bring the cd to us and he insisted we took extra fruit for our bus journey.  It is these types of incidents which there were several that you really feel the warmth of ...

After only about three hours sleep, Dan and I were abruptly awoken to the sound of hysterical laughter in our room. We rolled over to find Naz standing over our beds snapping pictures of us. We had told her that our patio door didn't lock - so she let herself in. We still had about two hours until our wake up call would go off, but since Naz scared the hell out of both of us, we couldn't get back to sleep. We met Naz and Jenny in the hotel buffet ...

Another hangover this morning, although it wasn't as bad as last time. The couple from our resort that was on the Boat Adventure tour with us brought over some Tylenol - that was a relief! We got up bright and early to catch our bus to the Marina in Holguin province - about 45 minutes away from our resort to do our dolphin swim. We drove to some docks and had to proceed by boat to the marina which was located somewhat in the middle an ocean inlet. The marina itself was a beautiful new ...

... gave us a wild ride and a good pounding to the hull. After an hour and a half of touring the beautiful shores, we reached our pit-stop - the edge of a banana plantation on the beach. We pulled the boats in and the tour manager offered us some drinks (water, sprite, coke). Dan and I had brought two bottles of water along with us, and I was shocked when the tour manager asked us if he could have one of them. Of course I gave him one, but I was ...

Once again, I had to meet with the hotel rep about my luggage early in the morning. I crawled out of bed with a crippling hangover and walked through the heat (heat + hangover = not cool) only to find out that there was still so sign of my suitcase. This was when I finally excepted that I was not going to have my luggage at all. With no Tylenol or Aspirin to relieve my pounding head (they were ...

... booked our tours. Wednesday we would do the Jungle Adventure, Thursday was our day to swim with the dolphins, and Friday, our last day, we would tour Santiago. The rep also mentioned that he would check the airport for my luggage. Today we decided to take a ten minute walk down the road and visit the village of Guardalavaca. It was a very small place that was mainly focused around it's large beach. When we reached the ...

... boards, catamarans, paddle boats & kayaks at our disposal, as well as lots of other entertainment and things to do. We decided to spend the afternoon in the pool relaxing and having some drinks. We chatted with several people sitting around the swim-up bar and had a good time in the sun. At one point I remember laying back in the sun with my eyes closed and thinking about far away from home I was. I was in ...

... He then got kinda mad and told me that if I didn't tell him the truth he would take me into the room next to him and make me talk. At that point I had started to wonder what Dan had told him. For some reason and completely out of the blue I said that the last time I smoked up was during Dan's March break when he came to SK to visit me (even though we didn't). The guard was satisfied with the answer and said that he wanted to make sure that my answer was the same as my brother's ...
