Hey GOOD LOOKING WHAT YOU GOT COOKING...EH?
Well, I haven't been back since 67 but I can certainly hook you up with my sister-in-law who recently GOT HER VISA..and you can reunite me with my family in MIAMI...that would be awesome.........I also have a video from Old Havana...that my brother gave to me in 2001..oh Alexis the devastation of our Cuba..its simply so heart drenching..YOU GOTTA SEE THE VIDEO..its still beautiful but El Vedado that was once a beautiful place just devestated.......CUBA QUE LINDA ES CUBA...I give anything to see my Island and my place of birth...Santiago De Cuba.......

So why have you not taken a trip down there Candy ? I told you before it is not hard to get in any more we have “aid trips” leaving almost every week (sure its a scam but in your case why not!) . I will warn you tho that if you go one one of those trips you will have to put up with a lot of mandatory “state propaganda” and it is probably unwise while there to speak out even if you know you are right and your “handler” is wrong. Remember to bring extra blue genes and if you are taking the kids be sure to “screw their head on “ before you go ! Castro runs a tight ship and his presentation (its like an evil time share pitch) is very well built and often sends young Americans home convinced that we are the cause of all Cuba's ills.
But the natural beauty of the island is as it was , the cities on the other hand are not even remotely close to the way my father described them (think Tijuana on a bad day without any of the bright colors!) ...and (as if I have to say it!) do not let your children (or your husband LOL) explore on their own !

p.s. My brother, told me that there were some tourist..and of course, when you see Fidel and his men, you are not AT ANY TIME to even look their way, well the tourist didn't believe or didn't think he would be in harms way, just wanted to take a picture and he was shot dead ..I was overwhelmed..Now, I figure me and my two cents..yep I be dead in a heartbeat...

My Best Friend is Cuban. Her Mom and Dad escaped, and she was blessed to be born in the USA. They have family there that they haven't heard from in years. "Abuela" says there is "No way" she'll ever return there, as long as Castro is alive, or any member of his family has anything to do with the government. From the stories "Abuela" has told me, I can hardly blame her! But she does have some beautiful (a very few) photographs!

FYI: There are two daily trips that leave from Miami International Airport. I don't know how many leave from L.A. or New York. But it is not illegal to travel to Cuba anymore...

Captian Jim, Smarta....

80's metal.....they are..the island is SO BEAUTIFUL..I mean the architecture of those buildings ..it is just so sad to see how deteriorated they are now. The video is priceless. I don't know how my brother did it and took it out of the country and I guess for security purposes he doesn't tell me and I try very hard not to ask too many questions. LOL
