If anyone is going I hear that CVS is giving free COVID tests and with the lab that does it (here its Quest) there is an APP to get the results usually in 24 hours. Just print and go. John

They say that about 13% of the COVID cases are due to US travelers. They are finding that the number of cases is due to parties, one guy getting 20-30 people sick. Their numbers arent alarming but Cuba traditionally does not have a hygiene culture. Don't know how many times I've been at the...

According to 14 y Medio and Diario de Cuba, Cuba will be shut down again 1/1/21 for US, Bahamas, DR, Haiti, Mexico, Panama. Mudaflip. John

For the moment you have to quarantine in Cuba for 5 days in your hotel room. No pool, no beach, they even bring your meals to you. Thought I'd take 2 cases of beer down and pass the time that way. Nope, you have to leave your bags at the airport until you pass the second test (7th day). The...

Guantanamera, Troya, Belinda are that not pricey but have a better presentation that Quintero, Piedras. John

We use beef shank, short ribs or the long ones in a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker saves a lot of time and it doesn't heat up the house. Nothing like 90F weather outside and the oven running for 4 hours at 400F. Pressure cookers can be stovetop or electric (better). Any kind of beer is...

Hope all is well with everyone and their families. American has scheduled flights starting July 9 from MIA, which seems like 10 years from now. Cuba's COVID numbers are fairly low, zero deaths in the past 4 days and only 9 new cases. The population is struggling with long lines at food stores...
