Views of Cuba
Havana Cuba in the 1930's.
This lengthy video was posted 2 years ago on YouTube. I'm certain that the Cuban-American groups depicted, like the aging leader of Alpha 66, are still obstinate about over-throwing Castro - as Castro still clings to his revolution & life.
Here's a popular Cuba travel commercial that I posted in 2008.
Our second trip to Sandals Varadero in 2009.
A visit with Cuban friends in Matanzas Cuba 2009.
This production of mine, on Cuban phrases, is approaching 13,000 views & has by far generated the most comments. Usually from young Miami "Cubans" who tend to call me names & insults because I've misspelled words. Well, I'm not trained in Spanish at all & learned these words & phrases phoenetically. But I did have fun with it!!
A video tour of the town of Varadero Cuba.

No "Free Ride" in air travel today
I thought I was the "Weird Al" of parody songs on YouTube but this fellow deserves the title. Great lyrics, video clips & graphics, nice editing - all lead to a fantastic spoof!

Las Vegas Deployment
I was on one of our regular exercises this week to Las Vegas. A deployment not to Nellis AFB, but to Sin City's Strip!
Here's some shots, even though "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"...
Click on a photo for the larger view, or on a video to play.
We've been to the Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat at Mirage before but it's always nice to see again, especially when it's a Comp!
Here's an example of the portions at the Hash House A Go Go, Imperial Palace. No wonder a favourite of locals.
At the Atrium in the Mirage
An elaborate bike at Treasure Island
Shots from inside the new City Center shopping mall Crystals
Views outside City Center. We always try to visit the new places in Vegas. This time it was the Aria hotel here at City Center. Other times it was the M Resort & Red Rock Station when they were newly opened.
Night shots.
At the Peppermill Diner & Fireside Lounge. Try the Scorpion...64 oz of boooze (6 shots) mix & ice cream for $18!
The quintesential Vegas 1970's neon lounge!
What's Vegas without an Elvis Wedding?
Views from inside the room at Mirage
Finally got to see the Pirate Show this time at Treasure Island
Wife Lynn with my aunt & uncle at the famous sign
Gondola ride at the Venetian
The Cats of the Secret Garden
A showgirl with Freddy K at Harrah's
The Star Trek Experience at the Hilton is gone but at this other trip, Freddy K joined the crew of the Enterprise!
There's a new CSI Experience at MGM, something to do another time.
The Minus 5 Experience at Mandalay Bay. It really is -5 degrees celcius inside this ice bar!
Here's my video with footage from other Vegas adventures that I posted in 2008.
