So far so good, as I wait in line with many others, mostly Cuban nationals, bringing with them flat screen TVs, printers, and other goods otherwise hard to come by on the island.
Other commodities reserved for the privileged include things like hot water, internet (still only available at hotels and paid hotspots), and a salary of more than $19 a month.
Here's to an adventurous four and a half months!
Salud!
