Fidel Castro has finally died

[Operational needs]

Not at all, I guess its like traveling to any other country, you can haul out so much. I'm surprised that he didn't get in trouble with the camera he took in, he shot a lot of video to use in a documentary. It was a very expensive 35MM that shots video in low light situations. He will write the trip off as a business cost on taxes.



No cigars either, he thought about getting some. It was a cheap vacation.They don't have direct flights from the US into Havana until next week. They had to pay about $100 to take a 1950's vintage taxi cab halfway across the island. Taxi rides in "HaBana" are about $10. The stayed in a palatial bed and breakfast for $45 a night, an enormous breakfast of fresh fruit, juice, eggs, ham, and coffee was included that would last all day. They had to convert currencies, there is actually two different types of money used. Tourists have to use a certain kind. You could use state-run internet and phone service, so we didn't hear much from them all week. His girlfriend is a graphics artist, they visited some art museums to write off the trip as a business expense.

Sounds like a very interesting trip. I'd love to go there.

If you do go do yourself a favor by not taking "the guided tour". Rent a car and explore at your own pace.

I'm not big on guided tours.

I didn't picture you as the guided tour type.

They're too slow for me. Lol.

Rubio: History Will Remember Fidel Castro as an Evil, Murderous Dictator

My son just got back from vacationing in Cuba this past Wednesday.

I would love to go to Cuba. It's on my bucket list.

He found the people to be very friendly toward Americans. It looks like any other Carribean country judging from his photos. He had a few problems with the language barrier. All those years of high school Spanish classes were a waste. I would like to see it also one of these days.

I thought that we had already started commercial air service to Cuba. Were those just charter flights?

I would just want the cars that are there........eating chicken, rice and beans everyday....because that's all they have is not appetizing to me. The Kardashians went there on their show and fancy restaurants have no ordering....they bring you chicken, rice& beans and fried plantains.
I heard on the news that if you drop American dollars in shops, they are obligated to turn it over to the gov't.

My son had to fly into Santa Clara, Havana flights start in a few weeks.

Cheap flights from USA (USA) to Cuba (Cuba)

I wonder who Obama will send for the funeral.........since he softened things, either he or Biden should go.

We still have a couple of these in our city:

Basement in my elementary school and in subway stations in Boston in 60's and 70's

When I was in school they started using those as tornado shelters.

Good idea

Trump should go. It would save us some money on future "meet and greet" flights.
