Tried the Cuban Cigars... they were meh.  Overpriced, IMO, but worth experiencing at least once.
Were they real Cubans or street cubans? I really wanted to get Cuban Cigars in the Bahamas earlier this year, but was warned that despite every pusher and hustler will try to sell you 'Cuban Cigars' that they were all fakes. The only place on the island I was on to get them was a legit Cigar shop and the cheap Cubans were like $80USD.

I did settle for about 5 handrolled Dominican Cigars, though. Those went good with the rum I brought back home :)

Dominicans own the Cubans at least for legal cigars in the states.  

Sounds like a fun trip.

No don't go photographing the secrets on the ship and that strange portage. :)

Happy B-day Fran, call your mom.

You walked right through customs with your cigars and rum and I was right behind you and I got detained for it being suspicious! Lol

Actually I sent them to Vegas. It's their 30th year anniversary so I decided to be the good son and sent them on a vacation. Sent them to Vegas for 5 nights. They wanted to see Shawnia Twain so I got them 2 tickets to that in pretty good seats. I also sent them to the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, & KA. The Grand Canyon tour was an 'everything' kind of deal which takes them on a boat ride through the Columbia River. They also take a helicopter ride to the base to get to said boat and all that jazz.

The Hoover Dam tour included a boat ride on the lake behind the dam. I've never been on that one so I'm hoping it's pretty awesome.

It was an expensive trip for them but they deserved a nice break from busting ass all day.

For us we were in Jamaica where Matt & Aldryic bought a huge bottle of 40 proof rum and chugged that thing before customs. We toured a plantation and while taking a group photo with the mountains as the backdrop, they busted out the bottle. The driver for our group started laughing and yells "now THIS is the group for me!" and cheered Aldryic on as he put away a bunch more of it.

We did a fancy dinner as well but it didn't really suit us I don't think. It was good food but we had 2 lactose intolerant people and their menu doesn't support it at all. Everything they made had butter of some sort in it making it a land mine for Matt. I'm fairly sure I'm going to get billed for replacing the toilet for at least Matt.

Cable management was just the cherry on top of this fail.

The genius find was the ancient switch being used as router.
