Maybe it's different over there, more than I have been led to perceive. But I find it hard to go somewhere when someone is willing to float on a raft to Florida, just to get away from Cuba. But then again you dont have to live there.
I would have a hard time floating across the local reservoir where I live, let alone that stretch of water in the gulf.
i used to work with a bunch of guys from cuba, they told me about how nice it looks down there. except for the communism.
oh and when you are there i will pay good $ if you can get a box of cochiba's made in havana. you know since we can't get em here.
