Travel Tips

You know, my fiance and I were wondering this a few weeks ago now. After all the speculation, there's been a rather suspicious silence... other than these articles which came out on December 2nd and 8th.

Well he was quite ill and he is very old and we have not seen him for some time so he may well be dead and the Cuban government don't want to say
Just about.
If he is .............i would be surprised. I believe he is very ill and did not arrive for his 80th birthday party..............all good, or is it all bad...........comes to an end.
He's ill, but still alive.
More than George W Bush is!
who cares
