Hi Todd

Glad you enjoyed your trip. The reason I didn't stay in a large hotel is because they are government owned. These are lacking on maintenance and you never see the help smile. With the "casa particulares" they are privately owned and for this are well maintained. Same goes for most businesses. I loved the music all day and night as we were within walking distance to Plaza Viejo.

I see you didn't do a beach day. We enjoyed that ( a pic in one of my posts).

Yeah, don't go for the food.

Did you make it over to the cruise ship area or take the tour of the Old Havana Ron museum?
