My first visit to Cuba was in 1959. I haven't been back since then. I am, however, 90 miles away in Key West. Got here 14 years ago and have held on to a desire to see Cuba again. I'm calling this blog 90 miles to Key West to reflect a different slant, an alternate point of view; to try to reflect back to Cuban bloggers an American perspective on their efforts to be heard and understood at home and in the larger world.

Cuba Photos
I ran across this photography blog today. Very good photography coupled with a bit of explanation.
It only whets my appetite.

Beyonce and Jay-Z
"Under the Obama administration Cuban-Americans can freely travel to Cuba while all other US citizens need a special license to do so."
It turns out that Beyonce and Jay-Z wangled permission from the Treasury Department for their fifth anniversary celebration by getting a license from OFAC for a "people-to-people cultural visit".
Can I get me one of them?

Flying Behind The Coconut Curtain: Cuba and Havana’s José Martí International Airport
Flying Behind The Coconut Curtain: Cuba and Havana’s José Martí International Airport
This very recent article/blog gives a behind-the-scenes look at Havana's international airport and it's national carrier, Cubana Airlines. The overall impression is, as the author says, a “Flux Capacitor” time machine experience.
Though the main thrust of the article is the airport and the process of getting there , it begins with a bit of history and lots of good photos of Havana and its environs.
