I’m going to start by saying that if you’re the type of girl that loves pink stuff, glitter, unicorns and Instagram pics, this is the place for you. and you’re not the type to be obsessed with flowers and girly things you can go to their café and have a light lunch or even check out the butterfly garden. The coolest thing about visiting this place is that you can come in the morning or late afternoon and plan another activity all in the same day. really hot (Hello, it’s the desert) Plan to spend a couple of hours here, don’t think this is a pop in and pop out scenario, once you get there

I’m not sure why this seemed more complicated then it actually was, probably because every blog I read about it made it seem like I needed to pawn my first born in order to actually visit Cuba when it was actually just as simple as searching online and booking the flight. If you are planning on visiting Cuba from the U. S. try very hard not to take any dollars,  instead visit your bank or international exchange office and convert your dollars for Euros. You can exchange some money at the airport, generally when I travel anywhere I try to exchange just enough money to get me through the day or weekend if I arrive on weekend and then visit a bank for better rates when possible. Different types of Cuban Currency CUP vs CUC CUC (Cuban convertible peso or ‘Cuban dollar’) is attached to USD and is what tourists typically use at hotels, restaurants, and shops catering to tourists.

The tour was very informative and gave interesting insight to the life of Bob Marley and all the magic that occurred in that historic home. Since Craighton Estate is known for their famous coffee tours and coffee happens to be one of my favorite beverages,  I’d like to discover Craighton Estate on my next trip to Kingston. If in fact Bob Marley washed his locks here, it’s easy to see why, as the falls created a shallow pool refreshing enough to relax and enjoy scenery while washing those luscious dreadlocks Afterwards, we headed down to Wickie Wackie Beach where you can catch a spectacular view of the mountains and catch a nice tan on the sand. If you’re hungry be sure to stop at the restaurant right on Wickie Wackie beach for some authentic Jamaican cuisine, and hang out under this peaceful pavilion to take in the view.

Later that night, we headed to Opera, no not the one where you hear classical music but a very chic lounge in the heart of DC where we danced the night away to top 40’s music, hip hop and R&B. Then, we headed to Ozio’s cigar bar for some signature cocktails and good music and chill vibes at their rooftop patio. On this day, we got an early start with some yoga on the National Mall green and took advantage of the sights by snapping some pictures at the Lincoln Memorial and National Monument. Around 6pm, we made a quick pit stop at a day party at Gryphon and headed to the Raiders vs. Washington Redskins where we cheered on our favorite team over some nachos and cheese and staple beer.
