    Wow! This is really impressive and inspirational! God bless your kind and generous soul☺️I was in Cuba in 2022 and speaking to some of the staff at my resort, I realized how little they had and how desperate they were. I am thinking about going back to Cuba in September and this time I want to bring a suitcase of gift. I considered just bringing money, but then I thought that some of our items are not available in Cuba and they would be more than happy to have them. Thank you for this great video they brought me much inspiration, and great ideas.😊😊

    Nespresso. The original style nespresso pods. Normally I would encourage everyone to try Cuban coffee. I find it immensely satisfying. However, with the supply shortages I now encourage bringing a pack of Nespresso pods (or 2). For those coffee lovers, better safe than sorry! Coffee can be a very important start to a good day!

    Beach bar to chairs would be maybe 2 minutes to the closest chairs. There is only little pieces of fried fish in cups at the beach. No other food at the beach. The SeaSky restaurant is the closest, open 1-3 for lunch. Otherwise over to the snack bar.
