Exactly....I would love to visit Cuba. A lot cheaper than Miami that's for sure. The US needs to re-establish relations with Cuba Now. BTW I'M USING GOOGLE CHROME. IT'S GREAT!!!!!

Miami does not want that. Cuban Americans have such hatred for Castro. Years ago, I taught in Miami and had an aide in my classroom that was a teacher in Cuba. When she came to the U.S. her degree was not recognized, so she became an aide during the day. At night she worked in a factory making clothes. She needed to do this because for years she had to send money to Castro so that he eventually would let her parents leave Cuba. She told me that when people left Cuba to come to the U.S. if they had jewelry or things of that nature they would put them in jars and dig a hole in the ground and bury them so that Castro would not take their things. One year I had a Cuban student that was a horrible discipline student and I had to call the parents in to talk with them. They told me they'd escaped from Cuba on small homemade rafts and that while crossing the Florida straits the rafts had become undone and this poor little guy was left alone on the raft for a day or so. Lots of sad stories about how desperate those people were to escape Castro's government. Lexi
