1st Fort Lauderdale-Cuba charter flight takes off

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Wearing straw hats and shaking maracas, passengers on the first charter flight from Fort Lauderdale to Cuba in decades took off Saturday.
The terminal at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport quickly took on a festive air as excited passengers checked bags stuffed with canned food and other goods to deliver to family and friends on the island. They were serenaded with Cuban music, and given guava pastries and straw hats as they waited to board.
"It's a historic day," Vivian Mannerud, president of Airline Brokers Company, the charter operator that organized the flight, told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "For Cuban-Americans who live from Hialeah to West Palm Beach, this is an easier ride."
The one-hour flight to Havana's Jose Marti Airport departed from Fort Lauderdale for the first time since 1987. Under the Obama administration, several new charter destinations have been approved by the U.S. and Cuban governments. Flights from Tampa to Havana began for the first time in nearly 50 years on Sept. 9.
The flight was operated by a JetBlue airplane and crew. Airline Brokers Company will be offering the flight every Saturday, as well as a return trip.
One hundred ten passengers were aboard the inaugural trip.
Cuban-American truck driver Julio Delgado was among them. He was traveling to visit his 84-year-old mother, who recently broke her hip. Inside his two large suitcases: powdered milk, canned fish and chicken, and sneakers.
"To spend time with family," Delgado told the Sun-Sentinel, "that's the most important thing there is."

We received a little clarity. Maybe now we can move forward with other items, hopefully, in a more positive light.
Best,

Hmm, I think I'll fly out to the west coast so it won't be so late.
Hmm, I forget if you're older than me, but Ron & Fats may take exception with that...;)
You must be very old fashioned. 8^)
Damn the torpedoes! I'm not saving anything anymore.
Gore's wife.
Yes, but not in the same way as our planet/economy is...(methane actually).
I need a couple of hours to think about that. :)
Where???
Si, porque soy un caballero.
Sometimes I even think about another planet. (Neptune sounds nice.) :)
Crazy stuff, but, at least, you probably have a summer & winter wardrobe.
We now have a (longer) naked season (that's ok), and a winter coat season (of which I haven't had one since 1999).
I gotta get outta here!
Doesn't Gore take credit for, well, everything? :)~
NO, I don't!
It's not supposed to be that way here.
Does Dick Pomp know anything?
All working now (with a little help from Dan). Thank you.
Yes, I realized the problem (slow loading from icons) some time ago. You just were not clear how to turn them off, and when I did, it took a while to take effect. (See my next post to you.)
OK, I think I figured it out. It just takes a while after you activate it. (Very strange for a tool to take a while to initiate.)
"•There is now a setting to suppress the social media icons on message pages if you desire. The icons are turned off on read_msgs and read_person now. They were causing slow page loads on those pages."
Can you explain this a little more? (How to do it & what it accomplishes exactly.)

No, I didn't forget, but I got rid of my NY wardrobe about 14 years ago. (Part of the reason I moved to FL.) It was very simple & easy to dress all year round, until the climate change the last 4 years, or so.
Of course, it's still much better than worrying about (or paying for) sinkholes. Your friend must live in the west, west-central, or northwest part of FL. I have never lived anywhere near there.
I cannot even imagine a $14,000 bill (on top of everything else).
Your friend has gotta move!
I know it's not, but that sounds like a scene out of My Cousin Vinny.
Wonderfully appropriate example for today.
Thank goodness there are no sinkholes in my part of the state. I'm more concerned with the extreme temps.
Now that we have become (sort of) accustomed to 90-100 degree days since April (and still continuing now), when our "summer" finally subsides, I hope we don't drop to lower extremes than last winter.
Getting impossible to maintain the same/correct wardrobe.
Tell you about nothing?
Um, uh, um,...10 minutes of total tediousness. Has this guy ever spoken out loud before?
Indeed. eom
...and shoot who?
Minor note: I think you are referring to Redwood Management (not Redlands, unless that's something else).
Redwood has a significant "Indebtedness" (the former Second Schulle Note).
Thank you Shelly. I hope you have some luck. I think Meatloaf gave up (or had no influence) some time ago.
Yikes! If you believe in horoscopes, you better hide under your bed this week. It's more of a 'horrorscope'.
It does present an interesting issue. The ads are so intrusive, other than avoiding them, one may actally take offense to the product/service.
Being around at the birth of message boards & IHub, it really is sad how they are gradually deteriorating. Credit for some service & additions, overshadowed by heavy singular issues. :(
Thank you for the reply, but you will have to check with Meatloaf. He understands the issue. He just is not able to have much influence with whomever keeps "tweaking" it.
It appears they have taken the position of not addressing it anymore. Meatloaf said they may try to tweak it, but it just gets worse.
Btw, have you tried to drop it down? It then releases an ad that covers the text of a post completely (at least, on my IE8 browser). Way too much effort just to read a single post.
(Sad state of affairs really.)
Here we go again...
