TRAVELING WITH KIDS

We arrived to Sweden and the kids were so happy to finally make it to our friends house.
Emma, Henrik , Moltas, and Melvin welcomed us into their beautiful home.
I have arranged that my Best Friend Hanan meet us in Sweden.
It happens that it was national day holiday which was perfect for sight seeing.

June Just started and it is time to TRAVEL.

I got lucky that I found 4 tickets traveling From LA to Iceland for only $390 per person.
It was cheaper to travel than stay in Los Angeles and put all the Children in Summer Camp.
So our adventure is going to be 6 weeks....our first stop is Iceland.....
first impression of Iceland, very friendly staff at the airport, though it is very small airport.
We only have 4 hours layover before leaving to Stockholm.
After 26 Hours of traveling....(That why the ticket is cheap)
Los Angeles - Montreal- Iceland-Stockholm-Gothenberg.

We arrived a day later in Sweden.....
My PENPAL for 32 years and dear friend Emma picked us up from the airport.

For the Spring Break we decided to travel to Cuba. Lucky, I have great friends from Cuba that Live in Los Angeles So I got from them all the necessary information in order to be prepared to this Trip. For start up, there are 2 currencies in Cuba. One for the Tourists and one for the Locals.
1cuc=$1 for the tourist.
So we need to exchange some money in Mexico since we took flight from LA to Mexico and then Havana.
In Mexico city we have to buy VISA CARDS that cost $25 each person. Then you have to fill reasons why you are entering Cuba.
There is one that appeal to most of the Tourists which are labeled People to People.
The Cuban Clerk at the airport was very nice talking to us and ask us if we like that our passport get stamped.
So the taxi cost $30 from Airport to our air B and B.
We arrived at our guest house around Midnight.

Classic Cars, Beautiful Buildings and Happy People, these were the first impressions we got from strolling around Havana.
The only down thing is info-structure is still way minimal. Many constructions and remodeling are taking place in Havana.
The next day we took a classic car and went to Vinales. It is beautiful nature, they have the best cigars, honey, coffee crops.

My friend Mayra and I decided to go camping in the Grand Canyon. We heard so much about this place that we decided to take a road trip.
We rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon.

My best Friend from childhood is visiting the US and staying in Boston for duration of 2 weeks.
I Took the initiative and went to see her.
This is My second time visiting Boston However this time I spent more time experiencing the history of the city.
First of all, the transportation system is great in New England. With map in hand you can navigate the city.
My friend Julie gave me great direction to exit the airport and take the Silver line and from South Station the Red Line to Harvard stop.
Happy to meet my friend and spend one night at her place after home cooked meal.
The next day after sight seeing in Newton I said goodbye to my friend and headed to meet my childhood friend Souad. She is visiting Harvard
in order to take seminar in Law and empowerment.
catching up while learning about the history of the Tea ship was our favorite times.
