    Cuba Holidays

    Cuba is an intriguing place with a rich history and culture that many in the world may never have the chance to see. Countries like the U.S. have a trade embargo in effect which bar tourism and traveling to the island. I have seen Cuba Holidays flights advertised in the airports in Jamaica and been tempted to hop on but the trouble I might get in was a deterrent.

    British citizens traveling from the U.K. can take direct flights using a holidays in Cuba specialist that can arrange travel and accommodations in country. Traveling to Cuba from the U.K. makes for a great holiday to an exotic tropical destination which may just be exactly what you are looking for if you live in cities like London where the weather is never quite tropical.

    If you in Jamaica and take a trip to Jamaica I would love to hear about it. Contact us with your Cuba trip reports and vacation information.

    I cam across the BikeNutz grooup for Jamaican cyclists through my connection with the organizers of the Jamaica Fat Tire Festival and I receive a daily email in regards to cycling all over the island that has become a valuable resource to me as an avid cyclist.

    Mountain biking in Jamaica is spectacular and the number of trails, undeveloped roads and off road riding adventures is amazing. I’ve put a lot of miles on the two mountain bikes I brought to Jamaica and nuff of that was on the hard track trails above Negril in places like Red Ground where the single track runs through a rural community and the simple lifestyles and beautiful scenery are breathtaking to say the least. An early morning ride with the sun rising and birds chirping songs of encouragement can be a cleansing experience good for the heart and soul.

    If you come to Jamaica and want to do some cycling please contact us to organize a cool Jamaican bike ride or join the group and link up with the next local cycling event such as the upcoming Maryland Gap Downhill Race.

    There have been many conversations had about the many similarities and the many differences between Haiti and Jamaica and I myself have used it as an example of why Jamaicans should care for their all important tourist industry by supporting local business and making sure more of the tourist money stays in Jamaica.

    On occasion I have found myself stating that Jamaica is not so far from being just like Haiti a few more bad tourist seasons will certainly hold the country in poverty. Today we can see one of the great differences when you consider just how unlucky Haiti has been in recent times. Jamaica has it’s problems but for now Jamaicans should give thanks they are not Haitian.

    Haiti must be the one of the saddest and strangest stories there is. Haiti has the kind of problems that normally only exist in the poorest regions of Africa and for being so close to the richest nation in the world they are poor beyond the imagination of many Jamaicans even. How can they ever overcome their latest and doubtless greatest tragedy? With the help of all humanity. From Americans to Jamaicans and all other nationalities we as humans must recognize the suffering our fellow humans are enduring and we must act now.

    We are asking those interested to join us in supporting Yele Haiti by doing one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click here to DONATE.

    Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts and Hotels

    Are you thinking about that spring or summer vacation already? This harsh winter weather has many of us thinking about a nice relaxing summer vacation on a beach somewhere. I myself will be kicked back and relaxing in Negril beach this summer but I have considered other vacations while I am here in America.

    Beach Resorts in Myrtle Beach is an idea I have been entertaining recently. They offer great choices of hotels, resorts and vacation rentals offering excellent accommodations and amenities and it is just a short drive from our home in Florida.

    If you are trying to compare Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts and hotels then be sure to check out the current specials and vacation packages offered at MyrtleBeachSeasideResorts.com. You can plan your entire Myrtle Beach Resorts vacation using the resources they offer or you can at least find a great hotel and work from there. Whatever you do I hope you enjoy a vacation this year.
