Day 798
It is going to rain soon so I am sitting comfortably in the upstairs lounge of Johnny’s bistro. In a little while I’ll head out to go replenish my cigar stock, and then will go hunting vittels for lunch. I have a phone call to make around 2:15 so I will make my way to…

Day 797
What a shock… the Internet is not working today. Why not? Cuba. I am only very slight pit off by the inconvenience, and will not lose one minute’s enjoyment for that. I will have e to try to tether at some point to speak to someone, but other than that I have no real need…

Day 795
I don’t really have time to write today, but it’s been a good day so far. Yesterday was not a good eating day, but travel days seldom are. I got 14,000 steps in, and am already near that today. I’ll try to write tomorrow or Wednesday.

Day 794
I did not weigh myself this morning before heading to the airport. That is because I did not sleep one minute last night. I hope I will be able to sleep on the plane. Our story: At 10:15pm I was in bed and ready to sleep four hours. That would not be much, but I…

Day 793
It was a relief to see the numbers on the bathroom scale drop significantly from yesterday morning, taking me mercifully below the dreaded 280 lbs. mark. Hopefully I will be able to drop another few pounds on vacation, which is not something I would normally say… except I know that I do not overeat in…

Day 764
I am still sick today, and I am going to take it easy. Princess Sophie and I stayed in bed until after 9:15am (which for me is nearly unheard of), and then after my morning ritual, we went for our walk. I have been asked to define what I mean by ‘sick.’ I have a…

Day 763
The plane from Miami to Toronto was delayed several times until finally it was delayed overnight. I waited in line for nearly three hours to get a hotel room from American Airlines, and once I had it I took a cab to the hotel. I showered and went to sleep, anticipating three hours rest before…

Day 762
My bags are mostly packed and I went out for breakfast. I was supposed to meet a friend but he was a no-show… very irregular for him, and I am a little worried. With that said, I know he had a meeting last night where he had to make a speech, and he might have…

Day 761
After missing the mark (only by one measure) the previous day, I shot through my fitness watch’s steps goal yesterday, surpassing 20,000 steps for the second time in a week, and for the third time since I got to Cuba. With that said, the soles of my feet are feeling it a bit today. It…
