Maybe it’s because I got engaged in Havana with a beautiful sunset backdrop. As classic 1950’s vintage Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs drive by, you finally get it. Cuba is a country that is frozen in time. Where do you begin?

Maybe with Hemingway’s favorite hangouts; or with the architecture of Old Havana, with its bare bones structure of the 50’s art deco movement; or even with the Partagas, the oldest and most famous Cigar factory in Cuba. Whereever you start, there is nowhere to end.

It’s that amazing, and if and when you get there, you are in for heaps of surprises. So, if you’re from Canada, hop on a flight ASAP; if you’re from the States, find a way to get there. My fiancé and I got our visa from Ayuda Sociedad Civil Cubana. Once you’ve completed the visa process, contact ABC Charters. They are licensed travel carriers to Cuba, and provide regular flights from Miami. So book your flight and off your go!
