Adolfo Suárez Madrid Bajaras International Airport

I thought that this airport being in the capital of Spain would be impressive. BOY WAS I LET DOWN. There are not enough bathrooms for an international airport, and there are only a few stalls in each one. The eating selection is extremely limited, with no more than 5 eating options and two of them were coffee shops. There is an abundance of shopping, but when someone has a long lay over I think they are more interested in feeding their belly than shopping… Or is that just me? I found the workers in the restaurants to be very nice and helpful. I could not say the same for the workers at the airport or airline information desks. They acted as if they didn’t want to be there, never smiled and acted like the simplest task was the hardest.

Tarara Beach. Havana, Cuba

Image
Tarara is a resort town in the municipality of Habana del Este in Havana, Cuba. It is about 15 to 20 minutes outside of the Havana city centre. It is a very relaxed beautiful beach. There is a beach club located before you reach the beach where you can pay to use the pools and bar. The bathrooms are free to use, however there is usually no toilet paper or soap and one of the toilets did not flush. On the beach there is a hut style cafe that serves soft drinks, water, alcoholic beverages, and cafeteria food like burgers and french fries. Also there is a man that frequents the beach selling hot tamales. The day we went to the beach it was very windy, too windy to swim. There was a red flag posted in the sand and the life guard warned us to only dip our feet because the waves were so strong and the undercurrent was dangerous. Other than the wind and the fact we couldn't go in the water (the water was really cold that day) we had a very fun, relaxing, hot and sunny beach day! ...

London Heathrow Airport

Is Heathrow ever NOT under construction? Heathrow is big, boring and did I say Big? Anyways, it is a huge airport, so make sure you get there on time, because you are probably going to have to take a shuttle bus or maybe two to your gate, because it is just that big. I found all of the staff at Heathrow from the airline, restaurant, cleaners and security to be very helpful and well mannered. So that is a plus!

Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, Jamaica

This country is so Lush and the beaches are beyond beautiful with calm waters that have sometimes 6 different colours of blue. Jamaica is just so pretty.  Oh how I know the Montego Bay airport! My mother is from Jamaica and my family resides mainly in St. James (the parish which Montego Bay is in) and West Moreland (the parish which Negril is in). So the airport we use when traveling to Jamaica, is Montego Bay airport or as Jamaicans would call it “ Mobay Airport.”   Montego Bay airport, could be better, I think it is in need of some renovations. The ceilings are very low, it can get a bit warm. The AC needs to be on higher. Many flights arrive at the same time, so I hope you are not in a rush, because you will be waiting a LONG time before you get through immigration. There are two or sometimes four (depending on the number of flights that arrive at the same time) ladies standing at the bottom of the ramp once you arrive in immigration. These ladies will direct you to the pr...
