| This
tour flies directly from Miami
to Havana where you will be driven to Cienfuegos, The Pearl of
Cuba.
Each
day will be a full days activities of baseball, sight seeing and
entertainment.
We'll spend 4 nights at the newly renovated Jagua
Hotel
on the Malecon in Punta Gorda. This is a very friendly town on a
beautiful
bay, favorite city of Benny Moore, and a vacation destination point for
foreigners and Cubans a like. We'll spend another 4 days in
Havana enjoying this historic city. Look for great baseball,
friendly people, haunting music and great entertainment. This is
our chance to experience Cuba before it opens up and becomes
commercialized with McDonalds, Starbucks and neon. |

The baseball games are all
against
Cuban Veterans, most of which are former
professional players.
You'll find them to be excellent players
and wonderful hosts. The Cuban people are very warm hearted,
congenial and easy to make friends with. Some of our games will
be in
professional stadiums. This trip is open to any Dodgertown West
baseball player. A limited number of support personnel may
possibly attend. Currently, we have a full roster. |
