Birds and Bailando in Cuba!
For decades Cuba was a dream destination to me, then in 2018 I was fortunate to put this tour together for NJ Audubon with my friend Gary Markowski, owner and operator of Caribbean Conservation Trust. Gary merged his time-tested birding itinerary that he and his team have been perfecting for over 26 years, with my other passion for music, in the Havana Jazz Plaza (Havana Jazz Festival). The result exceeded all of my expectations, so much so that we didn’t think twice to run it again in 2019 for another fabulous experience. I’ve been wanting to run this tour again since COVID hit, but for obvious reasons we had to shelve it. Now we’re bringing it back, and I really hope you will join us.

Just hearing Spanish again got me excited for the journey ahead. But first I would have to contort into a pretzel for a three hour flight to Houston.
