Counting Down
Gayle and her family began “counting down the days to come home.” They felt as if the whole experience had become a “nightmare” and they couldn’t wait for it to be over. The dream vacation they had spent so much time and money on had turned out to be a total disaster.

Gayle said her husband and kids felt awful about the way her birthday turned out. “My husband Steve felt he’d let me down and felt really guilty – it really affected all of us,” she said.
Silver Lining
There was a good side to the situation, thankfully. The Evans family was able to enjoy the serene beach of Varadero which was just a few steps away from their hotel. In addition, the weather was perfect while they were there. They even got to spend some time in Havana before getting to the resort.

Gayle felt the need to clarify, “I’m not knocking Cuba at all – we loved spending a couple of days in Havana before going to this hotel, and the beach was everything we wanted.”
