Did you break out of the resort at all? A lovely country with great people.

We're not allowed to go to Cuba as it's chock full of godless Communists, or something like that...

Someday our "leaders" of the last 50 years will get their heads our of their posterior and end this worthless embargo. Its way past time we stop listening to the voters of S. Florida and end this game.
Would love to go there sometime...

there usually will be a couple of white people who just arrived the day before on their first visit to Tenerife... and then you won't see em for the rest of the week, at least not during sunlight, and definately no longer white, not even pink, just bright red, with plenty of post burn lotion, and scabs all over... then there's happy hour at 17h00, and those who know better will come out from Siesta, and start warming up for the real work later that night.. Cuba is even closer to the equator then Tenerife...

And Wayne . . . the resorts I've visited in Cuba are always full . . . with Canadians, Spaniards, Germans, Brits & Americans that sneak in through Mexico or Canada.
But most Americans would only complain - no Starbucks, no Coca Cola, no McDonald's, no 7-11's, no billboards, your cellphone wouldn't work . . . Ian

And when you do get out & talk to real people, they are the friendliest people in the Carribean. For my trip report see It's Not Easy to Give Away a Suitcase Filled with Drugs Ian

And it sounds like Ralph (my name for Raul) isn't the hard@$$ his brother is. Anyway, I expect a coupe within days of Fidel's death.

Cuba, will not keel over in 10 days, i'm quit sure it will maintain itself for at least some time...all this talk about Castro beeing a dictator isn't the final story either, there's propaganda coming from both sides, the real story is somewhere in the middle, and don't come with "murdered during the revolution" the US governement ain't innocent either, a lot more skeletons in the US closet, then in the Cuban closet...
about a coupe within days... if they wanted a coupe, they had plenty opportunities the last year while he was "out of office with the flue" but nothig happend, i wonder why

Who said the coupe would come from the U.S.?
There are plenty of groups within Cuba salivating at the chance to get rid of the communist system.

Negotiations are underway to make Cuba a Canadian province. It's a win-win for Cuba and Canada:
-Castro gets to piss off the US one more time -Canada gets some warm territory It's gonna be awesome!

THE IRONMAN

It is my fifth time in Cuba...The ressort was full...There is no photo shop pics in that posting...The Cuba's people are the kindness one of the Carribean... that's why I like to go there...And what the !"/$%?& is wrong with COMMUNIST...I have no problem with that...! Why not visit the other CAPITALIST Carribean country...(Jamaica-Haiti-Dominican Republic)...because I dont't want to be killed when I go out of the ressort...

which is why i'm wondering why they (rebel Cubans) haven't done anything so far, it's not like Castro was in charge the last year, he's been barely able to proove his still above ground, let alone flexing any muscle...
