2:15pm – left house. We had this crazy deaf taxi driver put on this prayer music super loud. Taxi driver by day, rabbi by night is exactly what I thought of when I first saw him lol. He didn’t want my dad to sit in the front because his hat and tallis[sp?] were on the front seat. Obvi people are less important than clothes aha.
3:00pm – arrive at the airport. We almost left my grandmas suitcase in the car. My mom was being paranoid and complaining that the plane would be delayed. My superstition kicked in and I started getting angsty because she was saying bad things lol. The day we leave there’s this giant snowstorm. We get to our gate at like 3:30ish.
3:30pm – I love starbucks. It saved my life, thankgod for giftcards. Caramel macchiato and a chocolate croissant. Mmm. So far our planes on time J.
4:51pm – ilia texts to say he’s here at the airport, 30 minutes before we’re supposed to board, then they announce that our plane took a detour to Montréal. WTF. New flight time is 7. woopdeedoo.
5:30pm – see ilia. He goes to his gate, we have different planes (I’m pretty happy about that otherwise I would be preening like a female peacock or something) lol I’m funny ehee. Flight delayed again until like 8:45 L
6:00pm – me, my dad, and my brother play poker with no money. I write down points/money on paper lol. My brother owns and my dad says eh should buy a ...

Lololol so we get out of customs right and we had to go separately so when we meet my dad he was telling us about this creepy customs guy.

12:03am – movie’s over, I should sleep but it’s hard. iPod playlist: coldplay, placebo
1:00am – landed!! Lololol so we get out of customs right and we had to go separately so when we meet my dad he was telling us about this creepy customs guy.
Dad: ‘he was picking me up’
Daniel: ‘what? he lifted you?!?’ LOLOL I laughed quite a bit about that.
It took forever to find out suitcases and when we did they were soaked. ugh.
1:30am – board bus to hotel and chill for a bit. Out bus drivers name is Alberto. Oh and ps. Thy were giving us free beer at the airport, isn’t that nice of them. Oh and I took one
2:00am – start moving. Apparently baseball is cubas national sport, I’m starting to get delirious/ really tired, I found it really funny that we were driving on hwy 401 (there’s a hwy 401 in t.dot lol) and we passed Al Capone’s Cuban house!
2:30am – arrive at hotel, it seems nice. They gave us watered down pineapple juice. Why’s it called pineapple anyways?
3:03am – still waiting in the lobby. There’s 1 woman doing all the checking stuff and she’s so incredibly slow. I’m on my 3rd cub of pineapple juice and the bathrooms are locked. I should prolly stop drinking or I’ll be very screwed in the bladder department aha.
3:42am – still waiting…
4:30am – we reach our rooms, but there’s a bit of a story before that while still in the lobby. This guy is super drunk and he’s yelling like crazy. This British dude is demanding to speak to the manager and they’re all making jokes and being loud, drinking and swearing and I’m being all awkward because my rents are there. then this short guy comes out of nowhere and starts freaking out saying stuff like ‘I’m going to punch out the guy who’s making all the jokes’ I seriously thought a fight was going to break out right there. I felt bad for all the little kids. The ...

12/21/08 8:30am – ugh wake up. it’s the first day of Hanukkah today, should be a good day right? Anyways when we go to my parents room we discover that they’re still asleep. Usually they wake up at 8. breakfast sucked, obviously. 9:42am – beach time yay. Ps I made 2 friends last night. Martha and Maya. Maya leaves tomorrow though. 11:15 - got in a fight with my mom earlier so ...

8:30am – ugh wake up. it’s the first day of Hanukkah today, should be a good day right? Anyways when we go to my parents room we discover that they’re still asleep. Usually they wake up at 8. breakfast sucked, obviously.
9:42am – beach time yay. Ps I made 2 friends last night. Martha and Maya. Maya leaves tomorrow though.
11:15 - got in a fight with my mom earlier so I’m gounded and not allowed to go on any more trips. She’ll prolly forget by the time we get home, I hope. And she says no school trips (w/e I have none this year) and no grad trip next year. I really really really hope she forgets. But even if she doesn’t I’ll just pay for it myself and she can’t stop me from going cause I’ll be 18 by then and legally an adult. Hoorah. Using my psychic powers I predict this trip will suck from now on. iPod beach playlist: rise against. Also while swimming with Martha this guy from Kenya started talking to us. We’re just chillin and he comes up and says ‘ready for bambinos’ we’re like wtf. Bambinos means children. Lol he thought we were like out of university/college already. Then hhe tells us he’s obamas cousin and Martha starts flipping out. Apparently he’s not actually blood-related to him just from the same tribe and he met obamas siblings and parents before which is pretty cool.
1:00pm – instead of having the narsty buffet me and my bro go get burgers from the bar. And lol I blew off this 14yr old who started hitting on me. it was fun. [oh and sidenote; since I’m typing these up since I’m back that was the most interesting thing relating to my social life that happened; and the towel guy hitting on me, otherwise ya it sucked]
2:00pm – buffet. Lunch x2. nothing to say about this point. Bu know I know it sucks.
5:30pm – so at some point I fell asleep and now I’m awake and can’t find anyone. Goody.
6:15pm – so after some wandering and playing with makeup I found my mom and grandma. My mom bought an internet card for 10 pesos/hour and wont let me use it so I’m stuck writing these journals on paper.
8:00pm – so we’re playing poker and I know I’m going to win buyt I’m going broke so I ask my bro to lend me money he says no. a while ago he lent my dad money, obviously he doesn’t like me as much. I ask my mom, sh...

11:09am – we saw horses and instead of crapping on the streets they have a little baggy attached under their tails lolol. –or at least that’s what it looked like.
11:55am – we get to this store and they wanted us to give our bags/purses away so we don’t steal. Anywho we go to the shoe section and the seller lady looks like a prostitute. She has these massive platform heel boots and a skirt that barely covers anything and these ripped flower tights also the way she’s leaning against the counter. My mom and my grandma were laughing about it for a while.
12:54pm – we go on a horse ride. My mom lost her hat and had to run to go get it and almost got run over.
1:05pm – we’re at Al Capones house/villa thing. It’s really pretty here
2:30pm – back at the hotel. The horse driver tricked us. He said before it was 10pesos for the whole ride, but it was really 10 per person. We missed the narsty buffet..time to eat bar food.
4:15pm – at the beach now. it’s so wavy. Me and Martha talked for a while and we’re goin to the pool now, maybe.
5:45pm – before this we took pictures on a cliff and explored to find French fries. Ps. In varadero we saw a funny translation of French fries. It said ‘friend french’ lolol

8:15am – wake up. for some reason I wasn’t that tired. Last night and the night before my grandma insisted on watching tv. Definitely to piss me off and not let me sleep. My parents went to Havana today.
9:16am – done breakfast, it was pretty decent today. dunno why, prolly cause my moms not here to yell at me and rruin my mood/appetite aha. Today the toast was amazing. They actually used real bread *gasp* seriously. All other days the bread was made from glue, no joke. It was abnormally white, had no taste, sticky and gross. Yay for normal bread. And Wednesdays 3 things to be happy for: normal bread, no parents and tanning. [ps. Every Friday on my schools announcements the vp says this fridyas 3 things to be happy for thing which is usually really stupid, and for some reason I was thinking about it today.]
10:07am – omg. My grandma is either incredibly stupid or out to get me. me and Daniel are standing in line for the dinner reservation tfor like a year while she’s upstairs getting our towels and changing or something. She comes down with daniels towel (not mine) and says ‘you asked me to bring his towel only’ with emphasis on the only and her words dripping with sarcasm so I’m forced to go back and get my towel. Ughhh. Both towels were together on the same chair and she says ‘I thought you had your towel’ so she OBVI saw it. Why does everyone hate me.
1:50pm – it’s so cold and windy. Lunch was good until my grandma started ripping on my brother and since my mom wasn’t here to stop her she kept on going until I said something and it was my turn to get yelled at. It’s my grandpas birthday today, I should call him, he’s in florida now until may. Lucky for him.
3:05pm – watched the middle/end of ‘in the land of women’ I liked it. But the whole time I was tripping out wondering what movie it was with adam brody and Kristen stewart lol. It made me think of twilight and my undying love for Robert pattinson
7:06pm – we watched movies all afternoon. This movie with Jennifer love Hewitt as the devil and then mrs doubtfire. Robin Williams is so funny. Anyways now we’re at another restaurant. My rents aren’t back yet.
9:39pm – theres supposedly a cool show in the pool tonight....

7:30am – ugh. Wake up. but pretend to sleep.
8:00am – wake up for real. Leaving today
6:36pm – boarded bus. So much confusion and people left behind at the hotel lol
8:43pm – so I’m sitting comfortably at gate 4, varadero airport and since I was too lazy to write about my day today I’ll do a short blurb type thing now. breakfast was bad, but there was tomatoes for the first time for the omelette today! then we go to the beach. Same deal. We had to checkout at 12 even though the bus leaves at 6:15pm. I saw ilia at the airport and apparently he got wasted every night or so and had a great trip. I’m rpetty jealous, my vacation was pretty boring and uneventful. He couldn’t tell me more stories though cause my rents were there. but he told me his friend almost hooked up with a 12yr old who said she was 15. I laughed really hard at that.
9:30pm – so ilia met some people at his resort and he’s sitting with them right behind me. so I poke him to say hey and he’s like ‘oh hey I didn’t see you there’ ..bullshit. how can you not see me. anyways theyre playing cards and I obvi wanted to play cause I was really bored but he doesn’t ask me to play with them even though I was hinting at it. Ugh whatever I don’t really care. I’ll just write more.
10:30pm – take off time. they served us awesome food again. the fat noodles-I think theyre called shanghai noodles with this black bean sauce and beef. Then we watched surviving Christmas. It was an okay movie, there were a few good laughs.
1:30am – lan ded. Apparently 22 minurtes early. They put our luggage on the wrong spinny thingy which was lame.
3:08am – I’m in my bed now, goodnight.
