Mojito!

Somehow we plumb forgot that January 1st, 2009 was different this year - it will be marking the 50th anniversary of the replacement of a capitalist despot in Cuba with one of the Marxist ilk.
With the weather as frigid it is (thanks to global warming, I guess)we needed to get somewhere warm. And when thoughts turn to warmer climes, Cuba always is on the top of the list (at least for me - Kate is still developing her taste). We were shocked at the hotel rates - upwards of $400 / night for hotels that would go for a quarter that in non peak times.
I wondered, it's too late for film and early for jazz, what's going on?
Then I sent an email to one of the agents I use (Juri the magician at Nash Travel) and was informed of my ADD.
But thankfully, it looks like we got the last rooms in the city, so we'll be seeking out the best parties and most complete mojitos.
