Several Meetup members have expressed interest in tours to Cuba after my sharing what I learned there during my own travels.

I have selected three tours upcoming in 2012 to offer to our Meetup members. I will share information regarding travel visas (license) for Americans.

Regardless of your current views about Cuba, it is likely that your opinions will be altered in some way once you have traveled there to witness daily life and the role of government, artists, and international politics first-hand. 

If you are curious about other countries and cultures, local food and customs, any one of these are bound to be the trip of a lifetime for you! Your Meetup Organizer is also available to answer questions about travel to Cuba, having participated in a humanitarian mission as well as art and culture explorations.

Informational meet & greet - Sunday, Feb 5th, 2012 - 3pm at my house in Upland
Please RSVP for the Info Meeting and/or indicate your interest in any of these tours. I am working with the tour operators to book reservations for our Meetup members. Thanks.

Three tours in 2012 are available for our Meetup members. Please indicate your interest by RSVP. I will provide tour and deposit details to YES RSVPs.
