[Leica] Cuba?

[John Beeching]

Hi,

I have been to Cuba several times, mostly for work, and have always loved
the place and the people - very hospitable.  On all occasions I have been
travelling from another Latin American country.  The Cubans don't stamp
your passport, which avoids problems if you want to go to the US
afterwards.  I am sure you will enjoy the country, especially if you speak
Spanish.
