http://abcnews.go.com/US/president-obama-family-depart-historic-visit-cuba/story?id=37791583President Obama and the first family have departed the U.S. for Cuba, for the first visit to the island nation by a sitting U.S. president in nearly 90 years.
The visit comes just 15 months after the announcement that the U.S. and Cuba would be restoring diplomatic ties.
President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama, will spend two and a half days in Cuba on an official state visit which will include a bilateral meeting with President Raul Castro.
This is just friggin awesome!! A major diplomatic event from our President. And no one seems to notice.
Put down the knives brandished at our two candidates. Forget what trump says today.
This is GREAT!!! It shows America what a real leader is capable of. The GOP criticizes him at their own peril.

will have better accomodations than my son did, they need to be careful in the shower! (mild but unpleasant electric shock)
I am so very happy about this. This needed to be done so very long ago. I have always wanted to visit Cuba, especially after all my son told us about it, but actually for a very long time.

That happened to me as well in Cuba. Cuidado con la ducha suicida
I always wondered if he was just making that up! They did not warn them about it. He was there on an educational exchange doing percussion studies. He absolutely loved it and the people.
That is so funny. I am happy to know this.
I had a similar problem on St. Vincent. That was a 220 with a bare cord. Man, that was some shock!
