In January, Robert and his friend Sean travelled to Cuba for a week. They were joined by Gerry, who has volunteered with Robert for the past three years, and Gerry’s wife, Maryellen. It was a shared trip focused on spending time together and enjoying something new.
They travelled to Varadero and stayed at an all inclusive resort. For Robert, one thing stood out right away. “The swimming pool,” he said when asked about his favourite part of the trip. The pool was warm and relaxing, and he and Sean went swimming every day. Robert also enjoyed the lounge chairs by the pool that reclined at the push of a button.
The group spent most of their time at the resort, but they also went into town. Robert liked seeing the old cars and a horse and buggy. It was his first time in Cuba, though not his first time travelling. He shared that he has been on planes before and enjoys going to different places.
When asked how he felt about the vacation overall, Robert did not hesitate. “It was wonderful.”
Gerry reflected on the experience as well. “The trip was a highlight for my wife Maryellen and I. We know the Robert and Sean had a great time. That made us very happy.”
At KW Habilitation, we believe in relationships that grow from shared interests and real choice. Most importantly, time together matters. Whether it is golfing close to home or swimming in Cuba, these experiences create connection and meaningful memories that last well beyond the trip.
