Posted on July 25, 2016July 26, 2016 by Lynn Belles

Christopher Colon Cemetery was one of the destinations on the Day 2 – fathom Havana Bus Tour. We missed the main entrance to the graveyard where an impressive sculpture in the form of an “arc of triumph” is located.   We had been talking in the back of the bus and suddenly noticed that we were IN the Cemetery.  The […]

NO the “f” in fathom Travel is NOT a mistake!

Posted on July 8, 2016July 8, 2016 by Rob Belles

It has been interesting, and amusing, to read the internet chatter about the fathom Travel logo, the meaning, and Fathom vs fathom – why a lower case f.  Which is correct?  AND… Why.

In the words of Vishen Lakhiani, fathom is not operating under the […]

Posted on June 3, 2016July 23, 2016 by Lynn Belles

Being that we were on only the second sailing to Cuba in over 60 years – we were fortunate that the cruise line discovered the “Self Guided People-to-People” option on the Affidavit for Travel to Cuba form and pointed it out to us!  We were already on the ship and were asking if we would […]
