Here is snap shot of where our cruise took us these past couple weeks: Fort Lauderdale to Aruba, Curacao, Panama, Costa Rico and back to Ft. Lauderdle.
We were just off the coast of Havana when I took this photo but we did not stop in Cuba.
It reminded me of Buzzy years ago discussing going to Cuba in the mid-90’s after President Clinton loosened up travel restrictions on Cuba visits.

I remember asking Buzzy, “Why would you want to go to Cuba?” He replied “Never been there so why not?” I couldn’t argue with that logic. However, when he looked into Smithsonian-sponsored trip, Buzzy called me at work and said “Damn it’s going to run us $4500 each and all you see is Havana. We can take two or three trips for that kind of money.” I agreed with him and secretly was relieved that he no longer wanted to go because I wasn’t wild bout going even if it was a good deal to do so..
Even now it’s an expensive proposition:
I’ll wait until it becomes a port stop for one of the cruise ships.
