"I hope that your trip, and other trips like yours to Cuba, will encourage the new congress to try to lift the ban on travel to Cuba. I'd love to go there."

Why I Went to Cuba
Few places in the world are more off-limits to U.S. citizens than one of our closest neighbors - Cuba. I've wanted for years to visit this mysterious island. Finally my dream came true. One of the few ways U.S. citizens can legally do it without facing punishment from the U.S. government is to go as a full-time professional conducting research related to your field. As an airport professional, I was part of a delegation of architects and urban planners organized by Global Exchange to conduct research related to development plans at Havana Jose Martí International Airport & other public transportation sites around the island. I went to do research in a country that my government doesn't want me to see. And I went to see why they don't want me to see it. Here, you can see some of it with me.
These are randomly selected videos about Cuba from YouTube. Click one and it will play at the top of the page, right above the Cuba map. Check back for my own videos from Cuba here soon!

My Cuba Research
Having found out about my Cuba trip just a week before leaving, I didn't have much time for a proper Cuba primer. I elected to watch as many films about Cuba as I could before leaving, and picked the ones above, rented for free from San Diego Public Library branches. I highly recommend 'Waiting for Fidel' and 'Nada+'. You might be able to find or request these at YOUR library, or click the links above to buy them from Amazon and see a synopsis of each.
