Cuba!

For Easter break this year, Devin and I decided to hightail it out of Canada and off to somewhere warm. After much research and deal hunting, Devin found us the perfect vacation. We ended up going to Hotel Gaviota on Cayo Santa Maria. It is a little key off of the mainland and connected by a 48 km causeway through the ocean.

When we arrived, we were exhausted since we flew overnight. Devin was surprised at how small the airport was. It was definitely no Toronto International! We were greeted with a fantastic blast of HOT and humid air as we stepped off the plane onto the tarmac. It was awesome!

When we got to the hotel, there was no information package about the hotel or anything like that. We felt really lost. We eventually found our room and figured out how to get the AC and lights working...and then we had to wander around to try and find the buffet. Once we found the food and the pool and the beach, we were set!

Our days were mostly composed of getting up in time for the buffet breakfast (having omelettes, my friend) and then sitting by the pool reading, suntanning and jumping in the pool. We had a fantastic time. We were so relaxed and recuperated by the time the week was over.

The beach was amazing! The sand was like icing sugar it was so soft and fine. The water was really warm and we had a great time floating around in the ocean. The one day there were big waves and Devin really liked that, but I didn't like it so much. I liked the calm, bathtub like ocean. It was just so beautiful, it was hard to believe that it was real!
