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…

Day 760
After a wet and rainy day yesterday, this morning is sunny (for now) but windy. I am told that it is going to rain later, but so far there is no sign of that, nor is it expressed in my phone’s weather app. We will see. Yesterday was the first day since I arrived that…
