When I was a young girl in 1958, I listened on the shortwave radio to an announcement that Fulgencio Batista, a Cuban dictator, had been overthrown by Fidel Castro in a battle that just ended. We actually cheered aloud, and although I knew a dictator was a "bad man", I really didn't understand all the ramifications of a changing regime. And nobody at the time knew Castro would flirt with communism, so his victory was popular among US supporters. Ever since then, we have had a profound desire to see this intriguing country, and we are thrilled that we finally get to go!!
