Rejecting the derogatory term "Gringos" and the accusatory epithet "Yanquis," Cubans prefer to refer to us, their North American neighbors, as "Yumas." This blog is simply one Yuma's way of sharing his thoughts on all things Cuban, a subject that often generates more heat than light.

CUBANOLA!
In a previous post, "From 3 to 11," I forwarded a news item that stated that there were eight new cities/airports authorized by the Obama administration to arrange direct flights to and from Cuba, in addition to the three current direct embarkment points: Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), and Los Angeles (LAX).
However, while that article gave the number eight, it only named seven new cities/airports: Tampa (TPA), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Chicago (ORD), San Juan (SJU), Pittsburgh (PIT), Baltimore (BWI), and Atlanta (ATL).
What, then, is the mysterious eighth city/airport left off that first list...?
The city that care forgot, of course.
New Orleans, Louisiana (aka, NOLA, The Big Easy, MSY).
Check out this AP article that gives the details on New Orleans and its Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) being included in the mix.
