I’ve posted a TripAdvisor review of Sandals Royal Hicacos, where we stayed when we were in Cuba. We had a great time and if anyone is thinking about going to Cuba we would recommend this resort. The Iberostar Varadero is the #1 ranked Cuban Hotel on TripAdvisor right now so that is probably a good bet also. We were targetting Iberostar but we found that the Sandals Royal Hicacos was quite a bit cheaper (hundreds of Canadian dollars per couple). We also liked that Sandals is a couples only resort. So, given those factors we went with Sandals and we didn’t regret it. I think that the main difference in the ratings between those hotels is the consistency. With Sandals it seems that some people really disliked it while (most) others really liked it or loved it. I think this may come down to expectations. Especially with people familiar with the other Sandals properties that cost twice as much as Sandals Royal Hicacos.

Just looking at the site and noticed that there was nothing for the entire month of May. I guess it was because we finally went away to Cuba for a week plus the pre and post vacation work and just taking care of the kids. Anyway, if you want take a look at our Cuba photos.  Speaking of Cuba, we should post a review at Trip Advisor.

Here are two very funny movies regarding well known Microsoft employees. The first is Young FrankenSteve and the other is from PDC 2005, Bill Gates Goes to College. The latter shows Bill Gates ability to laugh at himself while the former is just sort of goofy (and a little scary). The Young Frankenstein clip is just plain funny on it’s own as well.
