I'm flying there on the 26th Jan for a week to backpack around (my feet are too itchy and Canada (Winnipeg) is wayyy too cold right now. any insights anyone? --- LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE!

He has spent a lot of time in Cuba and is going to give us a talk about it after an impending visit. The downside is that the visit might be so impending that I shall not see him before he goes. If I am in time, I shall see him tonight and will see what he can tell you. Assume I have been unsuccessful if I don't come again. Happy New Year - it's only January after all.

He would be very happy to speak to you and I will send you a private email with his details. Cheers David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.
