Friday, Feb. 13 - As you can see, Ivan and I met up with Larry in the Cancún airport immigration area. (Ask me sometime about how that happened.) I've never seen so many people crammed into a room that was about 100m long by 50m wide, people with no idea where to go, what was happening, who was in charge, etc. Somehow, everyone sorted themselves into rows and slowly got processed. After that 90-minute experience, we thought we deserved to have a beer in the lounge area past security once we were checked in for our Havana flight. We met up with some of the other trip participants in the waiting area and we all had a very comfy flight into Havana, arriving quite late. Once past Cuban immigration (another interesting experience), we found our bags and had another interesting/complicated/frustrating, but ultimately satisfying experience passing through customs. Our trip leader, Gary Markowski, was waiting for us and whisked us off to our hotel, the majestic Hotel Nacionál in Havana. A good night's sleep awaited us.
