PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Well it looks like I might get to take an academic study abroad this summer spending 10 days in Cuba. My University has recieved the Federal permission to go for a study and I have my application started. I've ammended my degree plan so I can be eligible for GI Bill funding, and there are several University scholarships specifically for this trip. Only 20 get to go so here's to praying that I get to enjoy this rare experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Era Might Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) If you don't get the scholarship just go to Miami. Edited February 2, 2013 by Era Might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You could always get the proper permissions from the US government and fly in via Mexico or any number of Caribbean nations with direct flights. (Source: When I was a Baptist my pastor went every year.) That said, hope you get to go with the school trip to study abroad. It's supposed to be a truly beautiful place and a wonderful welcoming people, even if their government necessarily isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2Dtoo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Be sure to tell us whether Cuban cigars are actually worth the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just don't get your passport stamped. Cuba won't care. I know plenty of people who enter through Mexico Which is illegal for U.S. CitizensBe sure to tell us whether Cuban cigars are actually worth the hype. I have had many Cuban cigars. In my assessment, the big names are not worth the hype unless you buy them and let them age in your humidor for a few years, they over produce the Big names, not letting them age properly, however the lesser known names usually are quite good, because people don't know about them they sit around much longer and age quite nicely. One of my favs is a Quintero, which is a machine rolled cigar that I will smoke any day over a R&J or Trinidad, unless I know they have been aged longer.

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 try and get permission to go into the crypt in the capital cities cathedral that would be way so haunting without being terrifying, just way supernatural, not like hollywood thriller or horror, super natural iz super. Or if not there main cathedral maybe a lesser one wherever you are if at all possible. At my cities cathedral they have adoration of the blessed sacrament in the crypt sometimes.
