Politics---outta Philly: http://www.wacphila.org/travel/upcoming_tours_2013/ Cuba: People to People: January 19 - 26: With our Treasury Department license we have been able to offer educational programs to Cuba, providing our members with fascinating and insightful experiences. On this 7-night program we meet Cubans from across the social spectrum to learn about politics, the arts and commerce. Stay at the Parque Central Hotel in Havana, close to the Old City, and take off for two nights to visit the UNESCO town of Trinidad. Approx. $4,400 inc charter.
