>Despite all my years of living in Fort Lauderdale, FL I never made it to Cuba. Its on my short-list of places to visit though, especially now that it's easier to do so :)

A few years back I was riding a motorcycle with some friends down through Germany. We had a choice. Head down to Italy or go East to Berlin just before the wall fell. We went South to Italy and it was great but I've always regretted not heading for Berlin. Go to Cuba before it changes forever .
