I was in Jamaica one time on vacation and the resort offered a day trip to Santiago in Cuba. Was a bad girl and flew there on a Russian Yak plane. Seats were like lawn chairs and we borded up the back of tiny plane. As soon as we took off they came by with cart full of Havana Club and cigars. Was toasted b/4 we even landed. People were very gracious and took us on tour all over the area. Stopped at the Havana Club factory and more free samples came out. I remember (not to much) but I sent myself a post card that took 6 weeks to arrive back in California. It said BEEN HERE - DONE RUM. Bought several bottles and managed to smuggle it home. Back b/4 Bush things were much easier. Sure hope Obama opens Cuba soon so the rum can flow easily over to us again!
