I rang the insurance company and my premium for medical conditions would be £64, so a total of £360 for 2 weeks travel insurance! But I suppose that is what it is now with coronavirus. I have booked and paid for the two weeks in January - £1500 after discounts. I think that's quite good for flights and 2 weeks all inclusive - nothing to spend there except tips. I have to get visa from Cuban Embassy here which costs £49. I'll have a look round online to see if I can get covid cover insurance for less anywhere else, otherwise I'll take the travel company's insurance.

I looked at the TUI website last night. Holiday charter flights are now allowed into Varadero Airport from yesterday 15 October. So holidays available in Varadero and Jibacoa with flights from Gatwick London. Varadero is a 20 mile long beach, about 90 miles outside Havana, lined with tourist hotels. When I went there on my first trip which would have been around 1986 there wasn't much else there. Cubans were only allowed in if they worked in the tourist hotels. I found it boring, though ok if you just want to sit or walk along a nice beach. I almost booked a two week stay in a Jibcoa hotel, for £1700 including £295 Covid insurance, but didn't as the insurance is likely to cost me more as I have pre-existing medical conditions. I think I'll ring the insurance company to find out how much extra I would have to pay. I haven't seen anything here about the Cuban Government opening up other parts of Cuba - apart from Varadero Airport from 15 October. Maybe other parts will be open later.

bbg has a camera he can sell you. Hardly used as he couldn't work out how to take pics with it.

Despite the best efforts of US governments (including 638 assassination attempts by the CIA on Castro) they didn't succeed. Cuba is still standing.

You aren't likely to meet ts girls in Cuba, apart maybe from Havana which is apparently still closed to tourists. Cubans had a Hispanic machismo attitude to gays and ts. I was told that any male who looked at all feminine would be likely to have stones thrown at them in the street. At one time the Cuban Government treated homosexuality as an illness and gays were sent to an island camp for 're-education'. Things are changing now. The government is trying to change public attitudes, there is an annual Gay Pride Parade, though apparently it was officially banned last year. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/12/cubas-gay-rights-activists-take-to-the-streets-defiant-and-proud

I've been keeping an eye on package holidays in January to Cuba. At the moment they are mainly to the offshore islands (Cayos), and a two week all inclusive single room package is around £1700. Which isn't bad. But there isn't much to do on the cayos, apart from lying on a sun lounger round the pool or on the beach. I can do that, better than a cold dreary London. At the moment though the only package I would be interested in (with TUI) to Jibacoa only has flights from Manchester which depart at 10am, so difficult for me to get to from London. From Seven's post it seems other parts of Cuba will be opened up, so I will wait to see if the holiday companies lay on more package deals with flights from London. I usually stayed in Holguin when I went before and would go there again.

Give my regards to the girls!

I visited Cuba many times. The first was after the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc collapsed. I wanted to see Cuba before it was destroyed by the US. I went on the May Day parade in Havana. It was amazing to see the numbers of people on the march, around one million. The police and armed forces contingents were on bicycles as there was shortages of fuel. I saw Castro on the platform the march passed. I might well go to Cuba in January as an alternative to Thailand.

Wow! Respect to the guy!(and envy!)

I wasn't a baby model, but I did win the Darjeeling Cow & Gate Bonny Baby competition, 1951. Pic below with my crown and medal, I also got a silver rattle. It was all downhill from then. But the ladyboys do tell me 'you have skin like baby'!

No need to take the chaps off. They don't cover the crotch or ass.

So, anyone recognise this young lady?

Thai authorities have delayed the entry of the first group of 300 Chinese tourists for two days initially though it has not been confirmed when they can enter Phuket. And no refunds for hotel bookings and other money spent will be given. Buyer beware. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2020/10/07/no-refunds-govt-delays-special-tourist-visas-2-days-before-launch/
