As American citizens we'd have to break the law to go there. Isn't that

It would not be all that hard for you to get a Visa to visit Cuba
legally since you've had a magazine article or two printed IIRC. I got
permission just to go along with a writer in the early days of the
administration. If the travel and spending ban for the average Joe
ever gets rescinded, the BASS guys are going to go nuts.
