Hi Guys,

I'm hopefully going for a holiday around next April or May to Cuba and the
Cayos region.

The large majority of people on this newsgroup are citizens of the USA,
and are therefore prohibited by law from traveling to Cuba.

Huh? There's no overall law or prohibition on US citizens traveling to
Cuba. While you can't just load up and go like you were going from New
York to Chicago, there are numerous flights every day between Miami and
various Cuban cities, and private boats go a lot more frequently than
the US Treasury would like. And once someone is, um, "no longer
required to show US-issued travel documents," things get much easier.
Cuba and things Cuban are among the biggest "wink-winks" in all of
travel. Hell, I've gone though Customs in Miami with a master box of
cigars under one arm and a carton of Cohiba cigarettes under the other,
and just been one of the many doing similar that day.

Is that ****ed up, or what?

Like most things you come up with, yeah, it's pretty ****ed-up...

Sheesh,
