Damned
I arrived at the Veracruz airport early this afternoon to learn from the Mexicana folks that my flight had been canceled. I never did quite understand why. I did, however make it quite clear that I thought it quite bad form that the Mexicana folks hadn’t called me to let me know, since I had given the folks in the Xalapa office my number.
If the USA government policy relative to travel to Cuba wasn’t dictated by the rich Cuban expatriates in Florida and New Jersey, who give lots of money to politicians, I could have purchased my airline ticket online with my USA credit card and would have received notice of the canceled flight.
Oh well, here I am spending the night in Veracruz, with my hotel and taxi fare, to and from, the airport paid by Mexicana.
The only problem is my three friends who I was supposed to rendezvous with in Cancun who have never been to Cuba before.
Please keep in mind I am posting with my “smart phone”, which is not yet smart enough to include a spell checker. So I ask you forgive my editing errors.
Though I’ve had a very pleasant afternoon, of which I will post more later, it’s really hot and humid here.

Chris,
Just heard from Alicia you are doing a meet up with Marg & Greg in Mexico to head for Cuba. Bummer about your flight, how frustrating. Well hopefully you all hook up okay. Will be interested in a recap of the adventures.
Suerte, Pamela

Hey Pamela,
Sorry for the delay in responding but I was without internet service during the trip.
We hooked up the next day and spent two weeks in Havana, Cienfuegos, Remedios, and Mantanzas.
It was great to spend time traveling with Greg and Margaret’s friend, who were great companions.
I hope all is well in your rural environs. I’m still waiting to rendezvous with you and Ian somewhere in Mexico.
Saludos
