Dear Travelers,

Due to the recent outbreak of dengue fever and other viral illnesses currently affecting parts of Cuba, Terry Flippen Travels has made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming Cuba trip.

Your health and safety are always our top priority. We are closely monitoring the situation and will reschedule the trip once conditions have returned to normal and local health officials deem it safe for travel.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we make the necessary adjustments. Updated travel dates will be announced as soon as they become available.

Thank you for your continued trust in Terry Flippen Travels. We remain committed to providing safe, enriching, and unforgettable travel experiences.
