In Search of Errol Flynn
There is only one Errol Leslie Flynn and it's likely a safe bet there will never be another like him--at least in this galaxy. But this does not mean one cannot go do the very things he did and, in the exact same spots he did those things! This is the key, following-in-his-footsteps so to speak. It's highly likely we won't be doing these things as well as he did, but certainly we can do them with a parallel degree of enjoyment and satisfaction. "In like him." "Living-it-up." We all know what these signature phrases mean, but how often do we actually get the opportunity to indulge in the concepts?
And, now, you are likely getting the picture. We can be 'In like him,' if only for a week! And what's wrong with that? If 7 consecutive days of 'Flynn Flair' does not upgrade your perspective upon returning home, then it is likely too late for you--for living, that is.
If there is anything the old boy taught us, it's the utter quintessential necessity to live-it-up once in a while. To indulge in the Epicurean Day-Dream. Flynn was a connoisseur in the fast-lane and--drinking capacity aside--we try our best to keep pace with him, even if just for the week!
The In Search of Errol Flynn concept was developed to do just that. Along the way, we keep looking for the "elemental man." Some days we find him, some days we don't, but he is always just around the corner of a famous Havana bar or a lush Rio Grande bend. We listen, we look, we explore. It is surprisingly often that he can be heard, even seen. As Earl Conrad and so many others have attempted, we try to decipher the fleet-footed Flynn and the legacies he has left us behind.
The excursions to Havana Cuba and Port Antonio Jamaica, both of the In Search of Errol Flynn 'Escape-Class' category, are dramatically different. One of them simmers with vibrant and beguiling urban attractions, the other shimmers with idyllic and lush surroundings. It is not too difficult to determine which excursion is which.
The beautiful thing about having two of them is that everyone has different tastes. It's likely that if one of the excursions doesn't interest you, the other will.
Regardless of your choice, indulge in the anticipation of "a fair day in the tropics."
