Greetings friends. How you holding up these days?
Here's how I am: I met up with Tammy Leland of Crooked Trails in Seattle during my just-concluded Pacific Northwest tour to discuss a possible musical tour of Cuba through the travel company she co-founded in 1998 with Christine Mackay.
We're looking at the following dates
February 14-23, 2020
for the adventure and wonder if there are 14 of you who want to come along!
From the Crooked Trails website: "The central goal of all Crooked Trails travel programs is to allow you, the traveler, the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with people and place and enjoy authentic, culturally immersive experiences. We committed to creating the most environmentally and culturally sustainable programs possible."

My father's family (from the Ukraine) emigrated to the U.S. through Cuba, where they lived from 1923-1927. And by the way, those old cars in the photo above are what the Cuban streets and highways are currently loaded with. We're going back in time.
I'll have more details soon. The trip will be in the neighborhood of $2700 per person (add $100 for the special visa to visit Cuba) plus your airfare to and from Havana and based on double occupancy, and it will be loaded with music, magic, and meals!
Kindly write me immediately if you're interested in getting on this list so we can see about green-lighting our plans. Thanks!
