Cuba Allows First Cruise Ship

The Obama legacy will no doubt include the opening of relations with the tiny Communist island 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Today a cruise ship from Carnival was allowed to land. Hopefully, both sides will stand to gain from this momentous event. Yes, there were concessions but both sides win when conversations are allowed by government.

The cruise ship with roughly 700 passengers arrived in Havana with no incidents. I can hardly wait till I can take a cab to the pier in New York and travel freely to Cuba. Whether I leave the boat will depend upon the heat. :-)

This set of circumstances is huge. Not as large as the Internet but close.
