Blogging after the fact.

Turns out the state of the Internet in Cuba is one of those things that makes it Cuba, and plans to Blog while on the road were pie in the sky. And there is no pie in Cuba, either.

Which provides the opportunity for a little post-blogging of our trip. It also frees me of linear narrative, allows me to hit themes, and gives me time to write at leisure.

So following is the story of Tig ‘ n’ Pat spending Christmas with a jolly fat red guy with a beard:

I´m in Cuba, can anyone hear me?

The internet apparently does not further the cause of socialism. Hard to come by. Talk more when we get home. Aye Carumba!

Cerveza bueno, as are daquiri, mojitos and ChaCheChera, the sun is hot, the sea is calm, the system is broken, and we are happy.

See you back in capitalist land.

Chao.

Cuba -bound

Hola amigos. Been a while since I rapped at you.

Tig and Pat are finally back on the road. After an eventful year, two job changes, a couple of trips to the Kootenays, two trips to Vegas (I'd of blogged them..but you know the saying, what happens in Vegas...), and now we are finally off for vacation again.

The plan is to fly our Christmas Eve to Havana, travel around Cuba staying in casa particulares and eating at paladares until we get through to 2010, then 7 days at an all-inclusive beach resort. Should be a whirlwind.

I have no idea if this trip will be bloggable, I have no idea what the quality/quantity of internet connectedness is in Cuba, but I'll put in the effort.

Stay tuned.
