Have a wonderful weekend...

Christmas in Cuba! Who wants to go?

Hola! I've put together a Christmas holiday package for a family I know 

and have a few extra seats available. The prices are significantly less 

than what is currently being advertised on Sunwing's website. 
PLEASE NOTE: FLIGHTS ARE ON WEDNESDAYS,
so they will go to Cuba on Dec. 25 & return either Jan. 1 or 8.

Contact me immediately, if you're interested! ~ Jenny

4 spots for Oct. 23-30 Cuba group!

Hola mis amigos!

I've had some cancellations and now have 4 spots available for my Oct. 23-30 group going to Club Amigo Marea del Portillo, Cuba. 

Here are the prices I can offer:
DOUBLE occupancy is $598/person for either the Marea Hotel or a Cabaña.

SINGLE occupancy is $608 for Marea Hotel or $678 for Cabaña.

Please contact me a.s.a.p., if interested. FYI, the only planned activity for the week is a "Welcome Dinner," and there's no obligation to do anything with the group!

Gracias,
Jenny

Limited space for TWO October trips!

Booking a trip to Cuba can be a crazy ride!

As many of you know, I organize an annual group trip (sometimes two!) to Club Amigo Marea del Portillo, a small resort along the southern sole of Cuba. This year, I ended up booking a pair of groups, back to back; the Oct. 23 prices were better but some people preferred to go on the 30th. I'm perfectly happy to hang out at the resort for more than one week, so offering two separate trips is fine with me – I'll stay and wait for the second group to arrive!

However, things got a bit complicated. Sunwing was slow in providing some of the prices I needed and, by the time they did, the deadline for a special offer was the very next day! So, I quickly began calling my "repeaters," particularly those who usually go with me in October. It was a bit of a challenge to get both groups booked on short notice, within days of each other, but I did it – thanks to my loyal clients/friends.

Now that the dust has settled, so to speak, I can open the door to others who may wish to join either group. The prices are better for the Oct. 23 group but there are only a few spots left (new Sunwing regulations mean I can only have 30 people at the posted rates and I currently have 27). If you want to be put on a waiting list, in case I have cancellations, it will be on a first-come, first-served basis – please contact me by email (jennicacuba@gmail.com) for this. For the Oct. 30 group, I can add 10 people at the posted rates.

That's the story of my crazy booking adventure for October!
Ready to relax at the beach,

New Santiago de Cuba tour will feature square dancing & fiddling!

I'm very pleased to announce an exclusive new JennicaCuba tour! 

Celebrated Canadian instructors Bill Russell and Anne Lederman will offer daily 

group sessions for folks in square dancing or playing music as part of a dance band. 

For those not participating in the dance/music sessions (spouses/partners, traveling 

companions), plenty of other optional activities and excursions will be available.

The group will fly out of Toronto's Pearson airport on Nov. 16 and, for most of the 

10-day trip, will be based in beautiful Santiago de Cuba. Founded in 1515, this is one 

of the island's seven oldest cities, its 2nd largest and one of my personal favorites!

I will be delighted to help you explore Santiago de Cuba and learn about the 

country's intriguing history and culture. Our newly renovated hotel will be about 

one block away from the iconic Parque Céspedes, the city's heart and soul. 

The first two pages below have the basic information about prices and other details. 

The third page is a booking form for you to complete, when you're ready to sign up.

You can contact me by email (jennicacuba@gmail.com), if you have any questions

or would prefer to book by phone. [Please note: I'll collect booking info and 

credit card data but will not process deposit payments or book flights until 

the minimum requisite number of people have registered for this trip.]

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you! ~ Jenny

Welcome to the year of whatever!

I just realized that I added links (on the right) to a couple videos I made but did not actually write posts to "introduce" them. So, here they are... 

This is the most recent one, celebrating 2019, the Chinese Year of the Pig:

I made this one last year to welcome the Year of the Dog:

I also made this one in 2018, using photos I took at the annual May 1st Workers' Day Parade in Pilón, Cuba:

Sorry that I repeated the same song in two of those videos... I just needed something short, sweet and upbeat, and I like to feature musicians I know. 

New music by Cuban songwriter Luisito Rosell will be coming soon. 
Stay tuned!

Hasta luego,
Jenny

Here's a great Valentine's gift idea for someone special... including yourself

Happy Valentine's Day to ALL!

 

Dear Everyone,
 

Valentine's Day is about love but I think that includes love for friends and family, too, not just significant others. And, it can be a reminder to love and care for ourselves.

So, if you're looking for a last-minute Valentine's gift for someone you love - including yourself - you may want to consider going to Cuba with me and my crew! There are about half a dozen seats available at present.

XOXO
Jenny
