Cuba makes you feel like you have emerged from a time machine into the Latin America of a bygone age. Classic U.S. motorcars from the 1960s are a common sight on the streets. Fidel Castro’s brand of Soviet communism still survives. Pictures of the revolutionary Che Guevara adorn huge buildings. The American embargo continues. Meanwhile, the friendly people of Cuba dance to Latin rythmns that have inspired world music. The colorful Caribbean island of Jamaica offers dramatic landscapes, tropical beaches, misty mountains and plenty of sunshine and rum. The island has many all-inclusive resorts on the shores of Seven Mile Beach and Negril. In Jamaica, be sure to dine on the platters of jerk meat accompanied by local beer. Then you will be ready to dance away to the calypso and reggae beats until the dawn.
