On May 9th i will be going to Cuba with my high school orchestra (and the other music groups as well). We will get to see rainforests and underground caves and such. I will definately share some pictures with you guys when i get back (around May 16th-18th). :DD
-
Sounds great, have a nice time and make a lot of pictures for us. :)
-
Sounds awesome, i can't wait for the pictures, i've been to an underground cave before and it's amazing. :wow
-
That does sound interesting. I too hope that you will greatly enjoy yourself.
-
I hope you'll have fun! :)
-
Be sure to have fun, good luck.
-
That's cool! Which place(s) are you going to visit?
I hope that you will enjoy your time there :yes
I heard that today at last they permitted people to buy and own computers for private use. That's quite something after all that time.
-
Im not exactly sure where we'll be going except for Havana, the capital of Cuba. I'll have to look for the itinerary.
-
Are you going to take pictures? If so maybe you can post a few and some notes on your trip once you get back and have rested up.
-
Buenos viajes y nos vemos! Tomas mucha fotografias!

-
Sorry if I just butchered that

-

-
Well, cya later everone! Looks like im gonna miss the 100,000 post party, but i'll probably be partying in Cuba. :lol Anyways, im not gonna be on tomorrow because im leaving after school. Take care everyone. :wave
-
Well, i'm back! :wave I won't post the pictures up until tonight probably as i've been up all night travelling and am quite tired.
-
Best to rest then, plenty of time to post pics and say how the trip went after you've rested.
-
hey, welcome back,
and dont worry, you have plenty of time to post pictures after
you get some rest
-
Sorry its taking so long to get some pics up, ive been pretty busy catching up with school. I've been fishing through all the pics i got (approx 300 of them) and narrowed it down to around 20 or so. If i don't get them posted up before the weekend then expect them to be up around monday or tuesday.
-
Plenty of time, no need to hurry. Better that you rest and get caught up with stuff first.
-
Hope ya had fun :yes!
-
You plan on posting 1 or 2 pictures a day? That may be easier to fit into your schedule and would not be uploading a bunch of pictures at once that way.
-
hmmmm, ya, that seems like a good idea! I'll post some of the pics up later tonight.
-
Okay, i'll try and go through the entire trip in some detail. I would like to note that there aren'r very many pictures of me due to the fact that i was taking all the pics. Another notice, some pics might have a different date stamped on it then what i state, and thats because i decided to take some pics a couple days later. Alright, here we go:
Day 1, March 9th
Depart at 3:00pm, by bus, to the Edmonton Airport. Arrive at around 9:00pm. Leave airport to Toronto at 11:00pm. BTW, I watched Cloverfield on the Airplane, a really cool idea for a movie.
Day 2, March 10th
Arrive in Toronto International Airport at around 6:00am and leave for Cuba shortly after. And now for the first two pics! http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mr...ba/100_0079.jpg (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Cuba/100_0079.jpg)
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mr...ba/100_0080.jpg (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Cuba/100_0080.jpg). Both pictures were taken as we were touching down in Havana at around 9:00am. Heres a pic of the Havana airporthttp://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mr...ba/100_0081.jpg (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Cuba/100_0081.jpg) Now we take a bus to our hotel. Here a pic of our hotel as we approach it. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mr...ba/100_0162.jpg (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Cuba/100_0162.jpg). The Hotel Tropicoco, a 3 star hotel........ but lets not focus on the negative shall we? Anyway, after we check in we're allowed free time to go to the beach, which is right outside the hotel. While we're in the ocean, my roomate loses the key to our room, and we're already off to a good start. :lol Anyways, i don't have very many pics of the beach since i never wanted to get my camera stolen, especially since the beach is very packed on the weekends, but don't worry, there will be some beach pics later on. But i did take some pic of the beach from the hotel.http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mr...ba/100_0366.jpg (http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa86/mrmeat770/Cuba/100_0366.jpg). So thats pretty much it for the first actual day in Cuba. I'll break the trip into sections, each section being one day (or a half a day if we did a lot that day). I'm not sure when i'll update, but it should be sometime during the weekend.
-
Sounds good so far. Except for loosing the hotel room key. I wonder how often that happens to the hotel guests.
-
Except for loosing the hotel room key.
Ya, at the time it sucked, but now its pretty funny. But what makes it so funny is that earlier that day, they gave us a speech about not losing your key.
I haven't anytime this weekend to update anything because of Grad. I'll probably get something up Monday or Tuesday.
