Nesmi Orslom relished his Cuba vacation to the very end: "In every city that we went, to every bar to have a drink, we always ordered a pina colada or a mojito!"
"We don't speak Spanish, a little English," she said. "It's a bit of a hassle."
"I'm a little tan, so we did take little advantage of (the trip)," she said. "After that, it's true that we were a little tense over the last few days."
"There are some countries, really not far, in South America, that have completely closed their borders. So if things change in two days, we are stuck. We are not going to spend a month here, even if it is really pretty!"
