Ok so countdown to Cuba. The past few days have been a circus. Constant running around to do last minute things and pick up forgotten items. I have finished packing and weighed in all my bags. The suitcase is 40 pounds and my carry-on is like 20 (its all books and my laptop). I didn't want to bring so much but many things cannot be purchased in Cuba and a lot of it I plan to leave there. So it will only be a burden on the way over.
My flight leaves to Nassau in a few hours. I have to admit as excited as I am my nerves are really starting to get to me. I don't know what I am worried about. I just want to make sure I really make the most of my time there. Who knows when I will ever get a chance to come back.
I am going to miss you guys terribly. I will take loads of pictures though. I am not really sure what I want to accomplish while I am there or where I want to go. I have a few places in mind but I think that I am going to just wing it. I wish I had the time to bike all over the island. There is so much I want to see. I want to learn something new and do things I wouldn't get the chance to do here. I don't know.
If you guys have any recommendations please feel free to let me know. Well I will write again when I get settled in Havana.
Hasta Luego!
About Me
- Casey
- I am kind of freakishly ordinary. Which I guess makes me wierd. I am very low maintenance and easy to please. (Seriously I get excited by crushed ice. Its is pretty ridiculous.) But anywho. Hmm...me... well I am from Florida by way of California and currently reside in North Carolina for school which might become more permanent soon who knows. I love my friends and family and am just trying to make the most out of life. All I want is to be happy and surround myself with beautiful places and people I love. So yea I guess thats me.

I know, it's like a mixture of feelings that makes it difficult to pinpoint. I hope all goes well and you get to post some photo's
What part of Havana are you staying in? As far as places to visit I will give you some:
-Capitol (Capitolio)
-The Cathedral (La Catedral)
-El Morro and La Cabana: the two major fortress you will see when you go to Old Havana
-Plaza de Armas
-The Revolution Museum (Museo de la Revolucion)
If I remember more I will let you know. If you need a guide or someone to help you out let me know, my brother is studying Medicine over there and he would be glad to show you around.
good luck
How's it going over there? Did you get situated okay?
