Practicing Balance Beam In Morón

One of the things we loved the most when we were wandering around the streets of Morón, Cuba, was the fact that we seemed to be the only tourists.  Unlike other parts of the country, visitors to the Ciego de Ávila province rarely leave their resort, or only venture out via organized tours.

My family thought we were nuts and most friends did too, except for the few that were such seasoned parents and travelers that they just treated our concerns with smug disdain.

If you think that traveling with your baby, toddler or young child is going to be a piece of cake, you’ll be disappointed.  If you think you can still laze on the beach and linger over leisurely meals, you’ll be disappointed.  If you’re hoping for a break from your everyday routine and a chance to spend some real quality time together as  a family, well you’re in luck!  Read more »
