My dad just told me about this guy at his work that brought him some jamacain blue mountain coffee that his son brought back from cuba a couple years ago.

The kid told his parents he wanted to go to cuba. They said no way it's too dangerous. A couple weeks later he goes on a "camping trip" with some friends. Turns out he went to jamaica, bought a plane ticket to cuba hung out there for a week and flew home. He comes home with some of the worlds best coffee from Jamaica and a box of cubans to appease his dad.



How awesome is that?!?

4 weeks

At first I was going for 6 weeks but my brother said he didn't want to pay the money for 6 weeks, i was pissed but we agreed on 4. Six weeks would have been awesome but 4 will have to do.

I fly in and out of London. June 9- July 12. Im not even going to England expect for the plane ride, but that was the only way into Europe left with Delta Skymiles. We will just have to find a way to London when its time to leave.

(btw, why'd u decide to drop britain all together? i thought that was where u had originally wanted to go the most?)

Origianlly I was going to the Uk with some buddies, fly fishing and all. But they decided not spend all that money on traveling. So I asked my brother and and we decided to go all around Europe isntead.

We bought a Eurail pass and England unfortunely is on the Britrail system. If we were to visit England it would be when we first ge there. We would buy a bus ticket to the Stonehenge but we wouldn't spend to much time in England
