"Postcard from Cuba" Getting there... HAVANA, CUBA (APR - Alabama Public Radio ) - Say the name Cuba, and your grandparents may remember the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960's, while your parents may talk about the Mariel boatlift in the 1980's. Some University of Alabama students are making memories of their own while studying in Havana. Alabama Public Radio gave these students audio recorders so they could share their experiences with you. Mary Heard has our first "Postcard from Cuba," with some thoughts about the trip from Miami to Havana. © Copyright 2012, APR - Alabama Public Radio
