Re: Varadero Cuba (you’d think you’re in Canada!)

Ever been to Canada during the winter? There's a reason why Canadians flock to Caribbean and Southern US destinations during the winter. Canadians love the Caribbean, particularly Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Other popular destinations include Florida, Arizona and Hawaii. Winni...

Re: Anyone bought an I phone 8 ?
