My apartment was about a block and a half from KaDeWe in the Schomberg area. I could walk to Tom's and the other clubs as well as to The Axel Hotel. ...passed it every time I went to the main avenue on which the KDW is located. I used http://www.airbnb.com. If you'd like to know the specific apartment, send me a pvt., and I'll go to the site and locate it if the man's still renting it. I liked the apartment; I did not particularly care for the owner as such.

I used http://www.airbnb.com when I stayed in Berlin last September. ...stayed in a wonderful apartment which was a few steps from the Axel Hotel in Schoneberg [sp]!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I read and taught her first memoir and continued to read and admire years later! ...heard her speak at two conventions of the California Association of Teachers of English. ...was enamored the first time and disappointed the second time. As my being on the Board, I know the fee which she received which I thought was too, too exorbitant, but in spite of this, she was one of my favorite authors and individual!

I watched and liked tremendously but wish it had been longer!

Tom, as I read your poignant post, I applaud you for your sincerity, honesty, and for 'ALL' that you've rendered here. Strange: an acquaintance of mine who sent me an email today asked me if I've ever met you. This Brit met you in Rio at one point and was impressed. Also, you have been in my thoughts recently, for there haven't been any posts! Now I know and am sorry that you will be taking another road! Riosul's sentiments are mine. I wish you the utmost best in carrying on now as well as in the future despite your illness!!

See if there is a http://www.gaycities.com for Munich! Try http://www.gayromeo.com. Why did you not come here prior to your traveling to Munich! I, personally, could have been of more assistance although I've never been to this city known for its hunky men of leather and kink!!

If there were any question about the type of air plane and its safety component, all of those regulated tour companies in Canada and England and Grand Circle Foundation in the USA who use these charter flights would NOT be having their innumerable tours to Cuba via the three cities mentioned in my thread as well as from Cancun or Mexico City! If you have questions about whatever I've posted, take time and contact the tour companies and lend your queries to them. DON'T HIGH JACK my post with what you posted. BEGIN A NEW ONE!

I plan to fly to Habana, Cuba next February; my agent from a company which is based in Canada relayed to me a few days ago that instead of my flying from Cancun which is cheaper than flying from Mexico City, today we Americans can fly from Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, or Tampa on a chartered Cuban plane. 5.25.14

Consult www.gaycities.com. Get some guys from http://www.gayromeo.com Do a search here and read all that has been written. Paulerio [sp] from France has written extensively since he travels to this part of the world seemingly regularly. You might desire to send him a pvt or message from here as well and ask your queries. Last year when I going to Berlin, I sent him a pvt.; he responded. I thanked him immensely. His guidance and advice worked for me!

OK, guys, please "GBOT," GET BACK ON TRACK! This is about Cuba and its "culture" and its men! Lets NOT "hijack" Oz's post!

Agreed!

The site for gay tours to Cuba is: http://www.out-adventures.com.

"...so pretty reasonable compared to hiring someone outside." Yes, I can concur. My sexual encounter or attempts were virtually futile when I was in Barcelona last October. My experience at the Termas was NOT very positive; I think I wrote about it here, but to the point of rates, I paid Daniel, an escort who's been around and who has advertised on http://www.gayromeo.com [barcelona] came to my apartment, asked for his money up front {I had E150 laid out in the bedroom.] disrobed quickly and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during his short stay with me. He could NOT get HARD at all. I was pissed and let him know it via my queries. My last evening in the apartment was the mere pits in terms of my being satisfied sexually! In fact, my sexual experiences and attempts were worthless overall. Had difficulty making contact and commitment when I'd ring the guys, etc., etc., etc. I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself. Whenever I do manage to return to BCN, I do hope that my sexual encounters and the experiences will be long remembered as well as my fascination with this beautiful city!!

Yesterday I booked an authorized tour to Havana [Habana] next February/March and had made plans to fly from San Francisco to Cancun then take the charter Cuban flight to Havana. Well, today when I spoke to an agent at the company which is based in Canada [Vancouver], I was told that I would NOT have to travel via Cancun but could take this charter from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or Tampa, Florida. Damn, you should have seen the lights rise in my study. I plan to go to my beginning destination and stay a few days. While there I'd plan to have lots of fun prior to meeting those hot Cubanos. Cancun has little action from what I've read and researched, so I'll do one of the cities in Florida before going 90 additional miles via jet. Men, I share this as an FYI since folks still think it's illegal to travel to this island country. For Americans we have to travel with an organized tour, but if you do not mind going on your own, via a company out of Canada and flying from Cancun or Mexico City, this can be done, too. Just don't have your passport stamped if you do it this way! *http:www.out-adventuretravel.com is a gay owned and run company which has trips to Cuba, but you travel there via a Mexican city.

There are a few guys on http://www.gayromeo.com who are in Habana; the rate/fee for a few is $50. I wrote to one the other day; his answer was $100. He looked stunning, truly ripe for a torrid tongue bath. I'd give him his fee if he looked as he looked in his pics and if he was quite the kisser and highly interactive!!

You desire to 'RELIVE' those marvelous experiences again and again!

Subconsciously you're indeed interested in traveling to the "Marvelous Cidade!'

From the ads currently on http://www.gayromeo.com, the going rate is $50 per hour or $100 overnight! Dollars are converted into CUCs with a 15% fee. You can't use dollars in Cuba or ATM on cards issued in the US. Money can be converted at the airport or at money Xchanges; hotel conversion is the pits based on what I've read recently! I might buy Euros and convert; that way there's no fee charged although the Euros "kick the butt" of our dollars. Might get Canadian instead and do the same, but my best bet will be from Euros to CUCs.

A Canadian tour company, http://www.out-adventures.com sponsors tours to Cuba. It's a nine day journey throughout the island, and it's 'GAY!' I had planned to go in 2015 with them but chose another company [non gay]. Once I take that trip next year, I'll go with a gay contingent. Spoke with one of the owners a few weeks back. You travel to Cuba via Cancun and don't have to worry about having your passport stamped. Once in Habana you're with a small group of men; if you want to arrive before the others and explore, arrangements can be made; if you desire to stay longer, that can be arranged too. Lastly, the price is quite reasonable and you'll have lots of independent freedom!

Apparently, many of the guys on F4F are from Colombia, or that is what they wrote when I inquired a way back! Invariably all of those hotties whom I addressed wrote that they were from this country and from the two cities listed in the thread. From that point on, I'd wanted to journey there for culture as well as for some "man-fun!"

When I first went to Rio de janeiro in October of 2002, the taxi driver took me to this hotel first. Shortly afterwards I was at the Hotel Atlantico Copacabana....

His voice is horrendous sounding! I listened and then again I DID NOT! His voice is a friggin' turn off!

My sentiments as well....

I'd take all three together or each one singularly! As your other conquests, these guys fit the bill!!!

I first heard this song the other night when it was played at that awards show. This was the only part that I liked about the show, or the parts that I forced myself to view before turning to something else. ...liked the song very much and Usher, too! He is so "fyne!" More than likely I'll purchase the cd and listen loudly while driving down the freeways/highways!!
