Hello to all and to all a good night! We arrived into Mexico City after an 11 hour flight from Heathrow on Monday 15th September.

Hola
Hi guys, Good to see that your Tlog is up and running. Looking forward to the photos. Surprised that you thought the Cubans a little less than friendly, as I had heard different. Anyway I will pass on your insight to a couple of friends with whom I was planning a trip to Cuba with to see our old friend Fidel before he pops his clogs and the place changes (we have been talking about this for fours years- still in the talking phase). By the way, did you know that the Cuban Embassy is in Clontarf. Anway, viva la Revolucion!!
