Vamos a Nicaragua

Vamos a Nicaragua 15 a 19 febrero y se alojará durante tres días completos. Haremos un recorrido por una plantación de tabaco de trabajo, los graneros de secado, y la fábrica de laminación de cigarros. Si a usted le gustaría venir con nosotros, háznoslo saber y haremos todos los arreglos.

I don’t know how good my Spanish is. I may have just invited you to spend a weekend at my sister’s house, along with her two ex-husbands, four kids, six dogs, and God-knows-who-or-what-else.

Actually, the first paragraph was an announcement of our upcoming trip to Nicaragua, in February of 2012. As sponsors of this trip, Piano Fuerte Cigars will provide you with accommodations, food, drink, and tours for three full days at a working tobacco plantation and cigar factory. Talk about a different kind of vacation! If you can provide for your own airfare, everything else is covered. And, I’m fairly certain that the sponsors will be able to find a cantina or two, to help pass the time between tours.

Does anyone, besides me, remember the I Love Lucy episode where she was visiting husband Ricky’s relatives in Cuba, and she visited a cigar factory? The one where she rolled a three foot cigar? That could be you. If you come along, you’ll get a cigar rolling lesson, and you, too, could end up with a yard-long stogie.

Tell your relatives that you don’t want any gifts this holiday season, (unless it's cigars). Tell them, instead, to give you a gift certificate that can be put toward your airfare to Nicaragua.

Esperamos que usted venga.
