We had to be on the bus for the airport before the restaurant opened for breakfast so we got some really bad breakfast food in a box. Oh well, we can’t always have gourmet meals. The airport was a mad house so we had to stick close to each other to get tickets, pay the exit tax and go through customs. We said sad fair wells to our guides and went through to our gate.
Our flight was to leave at 9:30 so we had a long wait. As the room was emptying out we realized our group of Americans were the only people in the terminal and that we were about to be left behind!! We never heard them call our flight.
Its a short flight to Miami, long wait, flight to Atlanta, run to next gate, and flight home.
We have traveled with Mickey & David and John & Susanna several times now and we have always found them to be wonderful traveling companions. I may have an overly optimistic view of the future for Cuba, but I do think they can make the transition out from under Castro’s power. It may take awhile and it won’t be easy but these are strong, resilient and resourceful people, they will make it work.
