For anyone not familiar with Nexttrip Travel Radio, this is a great time to tune in. If you missed my live interview -- "Cuba: Now is the Time!" -- on Thursday, March 19, with host Deborah Howell, no problem, you can still listen in.
Although the 30-minute interview slated was reduced to only nine minutes due to technical difficulties, Deborah and I did manage to discuss the current changes relating to travel to Cuba enacted by Congress; what the Obama administration promises with regard to additional changes in existing restrictions; and what visitors to Cuba can expect in this haunting realm of eccentricity, eroticism, and enigma.
You can access the interview on this podcast.
Alternately, you can listen in anytime directly off the radio's website. Plus I'll be posting it to my own websites: www.travelguidebooks.com and www.cubatravelexpert.com.
