They stayed in guest houses. They needed to take cash, approximately $400, because you cannot spend money on government businesses including motels. They flew from Miami, Florida to Havana, Cuba.

Twenty percent of Cuba’s 2 million population live in Havana. There are many coffee and tobacco farms, and much sugar cane is raised. They produce many fine cigars. They visited 4 cities, one which was French and one Spanish. You could eat all the lobster you want. There were many musicians in these towns.
