You arent very good at getting much right are you. You are wrong on both counts.
A: I am not a climate denier and dont need to print endless tedious graphs, as unlike you I actually understand the science.
And B: Everything starts with the Individual who says no, I am not going to contribute to the problem what ever it is. When enough people are prepared to sacrifice their own comfort and take individual responsibility to help solve the problem(which you are blatantly unwilling to do) instead of endless virtue signalling on social media. Jordan Petersons answer to this young woman fits you to a tee.
yes you are and no you don't
did you pick her book up yet?
Nope! Everything starts at the voting booth
fat cow on Australia’s last election

Science and continued awareness,.........rule.

Let’s get back on topic
Any chance of you visiting Cuba, Manhattan etc without the Thai gf and giving us the skinny on the action, hookers, nightclubs, bars, soapies……
Good lad
Howz colonoscopy procedure in Cuba?
Better yet, look up delusional and see if it fits.
Maybe you could get on with your travelogue and at least provide some entertainment in lieu of your contribution to global warming.
Or to put it simply just for you.
When someone throws plastic bottles into the ocean, ignorant of the consequences of pollution, they can be educated as to the reasons why they need to stop.
Then there is the worst type of person. That virtue signaller who knows its bad has been told it's bad and constantly tells everyone else it's bad, but still throws his own plastic bottle in the ocean. I think even you might get my drift. Anyway, carry on with your posts, I'd hate you to start thinking.
^still miss Greta? Order your book yet?
and remember
everything starts at the voting booth

Next Sunday, a How-to Guide for Americans who would like to visit Cuba
Traveling to Cuba last time there were a number of categories to choose from for me to enter the country. “People-to-people” was what I entered the country with.
However, they don’t list that category any longer, but they have created a "Support for the Cuban People” category that I will be traveling under. It replaces the “people to people” category.
The 12 categories to choose from are………
family visits; official business of the U.S. government, foreign governments, and certain intergovernmental organizations; journalistic activity; professional research and professional meetings; educational activities; religious activities; public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, and exhibitions; support for the Cuban people; humanitarian projects; activities of private foundations or research or educational institutes; exportation, importation, or transmission of information or informational materials; and certain authorized export transactions.
The Hotel Nacional de Cuba (the 2nd highest rated hotel in Havana) is not on the US shit list, so we should be able to book a suite there.
The highest rated hotel is Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana. Might look at this hotel a little deeper before booking the Nacional de Cuba with a travel agent.

edit: just checked,....The last hotel is on the US shit list

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Just down the street from Cuba’s capitol building is a section reserved for Cuban artists and crafts people to show their work.
The street is Paseo del Prado. There was some nice artwork to see, but nothing I would want on the wall. However, during our next trip we might purchase something because it’ll help with the Visa I have to travel under (Support for the Cuban People). But there are some restrictions with purchasing and taking art out of the country.
While we were there last, they were refurbishing the Capitol building.
A shot from our hotel…….
A few pictures of the Paseo del Prado arts and crafts section.
Nice SL, keep it coming!
Dates have been set and one travel agent has been contacted (many were reviewed).
The place where we intend to stay is much nicer than anything that the Hotel Nacional de Cuba can offer us.
We requested a private tour (I am required to have a Cuban guide with me) that will have Arts (maybe Hemingway included), Culinary and related Social Impact tours as part of our itinerary.
One unusual request was made to include a scuba diving trip to our package.
I might get an answer by the weekend.
It didn’t go well.
First agent I contacted didn’t reply so after two days I sent out a request for information to six different local (Miami) agents.
Most of these agents are very small business owners and have a variety of routine group tours to pick from, except the first agent I contacted which advertised private custom tours.
Next week I’m going outside local, to see if I’m able to get anyone to respond.
Not much more to add about scheduling the trip until next week, so a little about strays in Havana.
Seems they do love their dogs. I think the strays are fixed and then released with tags to show that the pups have had their shots. I didn’t see any free rein dogs (without a collar) while in Havana.
In case anyone was wondering…….
Nina
I’m sterilized
Don’t mistreat me
Contacting travel agents outside of Miami seems to have worked out well.
Out of the six agents I contacted, four have already sent a draft itinerary. Two of them have diving included in their itinerary and another is looking a bit deeper into adjusting the schedule to include diving.
I didn’t know........
Cayo Guillermo Barrier Reef
The Jardines del Rey archipelago is a ribbon of practically untouched islands and islets which lie 20 to 60 km from the Cuban mainland, on the island’s northern coast, spanning 250 miles (400 km) all along Cuba’s northern coast.
As the world’s second-largest barrier reef, trumped only by the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, its gigantic extension of coral reefs has been both a peril to ships for over two centuries and a unique attraction for divers and leisure enthusiasts since 1993, when the first hotel was built on Cayo Guillermo. https://www.kempinski.com/en/cayo-gu...-barrier-reef/
Shhhhh…..I think Belize has the second largest barrier reef. We did dive there.
Might not do an old hotel this time around: GRAND ASTON La Habana
I didn’t know either, obviously based on how they measure the reef.
Google says “ The Florida Keys Reef Tract is the third largest living coral barrier reef system in the world behind the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System off the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.“
^We have made dives on all three,.......Keys, Great Barrier and Belize.
Would be nice to pin another one on the map. Cuba
^Thanks. Opened your link and the first thing that caught my attention……
a little deeper I was able to see their extensive itinerary: https://www.cubaunbound.com/adventur...ba-diving-tour
Looks alright except we would like to dive just one day, not every day while on the island.
Anyway, I think we’ve found our tour operator and the place we should be diving at next to Havana (nice clear video but Don’t touch the fish!):
We will not be going with the tour operator who wrote this to me.......
There really is not great diving anywhere close to Havana
Have written to who I believe will be our tour operator with a few questions and requests. One of the requests will be to add another night/day to the trip
During our first trip to Cuba we were taken to the Fort of Saint Charles https://cubadirect.co.uk/blog/seven-...abana-fortress. I think most tour operators will suggest an evening there after arriving in Havana. It was alright as a historical building (in the Americas) and has stood up well over time.
Some of our touristy pictures.
should bring a better camera next visit
