From a weekend getaway to a journey with purpose…

From San Antonio to Cuba: Travel With Purpose

Dear Reader,

Sometimes, even a travel advisor needs to stop planning and simply be a tourist.

Recently, my husband surprised me with a weekend in San Antonio—a city I had never visited. We explored the River Walk, took a river boat tour, discovered some Cuban food, and ended up at an incredible Elvis tribute show at the Majestic Theatre.

It was exactly what I needed.

But when I returned home, my thoughts went back to Cuba.

After my visit to my hometown in August, I shared with you the heartbreak I felt seeing the suffering there. Since then, something beautiful has happened.

You have continued to help.

Friends, clients, and others have donated money and supplies. I’ve shipped a 52-pound box filled with medicine, food, rechargeable lights, battery-operated fans, and other necessities to my sister in Cuba.

And now I’m preparing for my next journey: October 1–7.

I’m inviting you to come with me.

You don’t have to spend money you don’t have. You can ask your church, food bank, dentist, local businesses, or community organizations to help you collect supplies.

One suitcase can make a difference.

But perhaps Cuba isn’t calling your name right now.

Maybe you’re thinking about your holiday travel. Maybe you’re dreaming of the Galápagos, an Arctic adventure, a cruise, a group journey, or somewhere completely different.

That’s why I wrote this week’s blog:

From a Weekend Escape to a Journey With Purpose

I share my San Antonio experience, what’s happening with our Cuba humanitarian effort, and travel opportunities I’m excited about for the months ahead.

Wherever you’re dreaming of going next, I’d love to help you get there.

With gratitude,

Sheyla

Sheyla Paz with her sister at the Santiago de Cuba airport

Dear, Reader, I came home from Cuba on Sunday evening with a broken heart. I knew things were difficult. My family had been telling me about the blackouts, the shortages, the rising prices, and the struggle to find basic necessities. But there is a difference between hearing about suffering and standing in the middle of it. I spent three nights in Santiago de Cuba, and I barely slept. It was incredibly hot. The electricity was out most nights. The mosquitoes were relentless. But what stayed...
