I've been to a lot of airports as both the one getting dropped off and the one dropping off another. I don't think I've ever needed 3 whole minutes for a hug. That seems extremely long! Although I do appreciate the suggestive-sounding "for fonder farewells, use the car park". *wink*
Funny, too, how all these articles about Cuba somehow seem to miss that it's an authoritarian communist country, and THAT'S why it has such an awful economy, leading to it being an unmaintained dump. This result is obvious and predictable (see also: North Korea, Venezuela, USSR, red China, and countless others). Instead we get excuses about the US trade embargo. "Communism is failing because capitalists won't do capitalism with them!!1!"
