Not sure if I'm allowed to post this so I apologise in advance if this is against forum rules

Basically myself and Rebecca were due to fly out to Cuba on the 19th of June, unfortunately we can no longer go as Becky is pregnant and the midwife has advised us not to go as her blood pressure is too high. After long discussions we've both decided not to risk it.

Foolishly we didn't take out insurance on the holiday so we stand to lose all monies paid (just under £3000) We've looked at changing the dates but this is not possible without paying for another holiday

Flying from Manchester 12:30pm 19/6/15

Fly into Havana, staying 3 nights bed and breakfast and then transferring to Varadero for 11 days all inclusive.

Returning on the 4/7/15

If anyone is interested in more details then please pm me

Thanks for reading.

Accommodation might not be an issue but I thought airlines no longer allowed passenger names to be changed once booked?

Partly true but as it's medical reasons we can change the names. It's £50 per person

Fantastic! Good luck with the sale and the bump of course.

Thanks

Bummer for you both

Don't forget to ask for bunk beds

Haha Well there is still a small chance of us be able to go

On the 15th we're going to get a second opinion and hope her blood pressure has dropped. It was only advised not to fly and due to a miscarriage last year, understandably we are both some what reluctant on unnecessary risk.

Cuba does have some of the best medical folk around...

Carl I've got a friend who might be interested as a last resort - single girl in her 30's, my son-in-law's sister.

Obviously not your best return on the outlay.....

Thanks Simon.

Since posting this we've made some development in getting the date moved, turns out co-op travel don't know there own policy's. It's not 100% but we will know for definite tomorrow so I will get back to you.

Thanks again

That's great news, much better if you can sort it out to suit yourselves

Finally some good news, we can change the dates!! Plus we may be able to travel on the original dates once we get the thumbs up from the doctor/midwife

That's a bit better PR from the company

Well after all this, plus putting Rebecca on sweet ban! We've got the thumbs up for Cuba.

Really didn't think it was going to happen so to say we're both relieved is a slight understatement!

"Uno cerveza por favor"

iMuy Bien!

Great news!

Er, "Una" ....

Or perhaps in to avoid any confusion "Dos cervezas"

It's ok I downloaded a Spanish app! Which I'm sure will be a great help
