Cuba map

This is quite a nice map of Cuba.  I'm having a terrible time publishing our itinerary and so am going to publish my 2 maps in separate posts.  This one has 2 towns that you should make note of, Havana and Camagüey. This latter town is about 2/3 of the way across the island going from west to east.  It is the furthest east our trip is scheduled to go.  My next post will have the same map, only without any towns noted on it.  Rather there are several dots with numbers associated with them.  The numbers correspond to the date we're scheduled to be there and the dates will be in the text of the posting.  I hope this is clear because it's starting to seem muddled in my weary mind!

Welcome

Welcome!  Obviously, we haven't left yet.  If you have something you want me to watch for, photograph, or just make note of, please let me know.  We'll be spending most of our awake hours immersed in the birds of Cuba, but I like looking at all sorts of things - bugs, lizards, interesting signs, etc.  Most of you know me, so ask away.  If it's not illegal and if it's available to us, I'm happy to oblige.

BTW, the little fellow at the top of the blog is a Cuban Tody - and the source of my blog name.
