CUBA LIBRE REDUX -  Again

Same old, same old.

After 23 days of non-stop Middle Kingdom touring, I am back in my over-the-garage writer’s garret. Furthermore, I have finally caught up on sleep and now realize that 12 time zones and 25 hour travel days are no longer my cup of tea.  I remember a time (dimly) when taking 12-18 hour flights twice a week were commonplace and seemed a walk in the park.  Apparently that is no longer the case.  Old age really does suck. AURORA still lies moored at Turner Marine in Mobile AL awaiting my return within a month or so but thanks to Roger at Turner for keeping a sharp eye on the old girl while summer heat, humidity and rain have tormented her.  I feel a sense of betrayal leaving her alone for the past months but only slightly since I do not do well in high heat and humidity… another unwelcome development in my dotage.  However, I feel refreshed, revitalized and will continue my Cuba Libre Redux rantings before inundating you with similar observations re: the PRC’s Middle Kingdom exploits.  Our world, it is a-changing…. Thank you, for that line Mr. Most Recent Literary Nobel Winner.  If you are looking for a sanely reasoned travel blog, I have one more Dylan quote for you… “No, no, no..It ain’t me, Babe. It ain't me you're lookin' for...”  So, it is back to Havana for a bit.
