I took this picture on a recent flight back from Colombia. That’s Matanzas Bay ,Cuba below. Thirty minutes later we were landing at MIA. One day in the future, hopefully sooner than later ,we’ll be able to board small jets and be in Havana in 45 minutes. You can go on charter jets now, but it is an extremely complicated venture, due to politics.

Even better - driving down to Key West and getting onto a ferry with your SUV - off to explore the whole 500 mile island of unspoiled ( yet rundown) colonial cities, empty beaches and tropical mountains. The last time that was done was in 1960.
