ReplyDeleteRegarding the Cuban-american shift to favour travel to Cuba, that is NOT new. It has been that for many years. There are basically 2 different types of cuban americans. One is the group that exited Cuba after the Cuban Revolution and the beginning of Castro's horrible repression, and the 2nd group that years later escaped, say after the early 70's. There are now many more of the 2nd group than the 1st group.
