Wondering if any of you have also vacationed there & have tips on MUST SEE spots or favorite foods to try.


Be back in a week...

We Yanks are not allowed to go there. We have to come up your way than fly back down. Have a good trip!!!

Ever since the Bay of Pigs we've been not welcome in Fidel's neighbourhood.

My grandfather's family left England to be slaveholders there...oy.No snow but a ton of hurricanes...

Have a nice trip!
I would love to go on vacation in Cuba - You are so lucky!

In the US you can only go to Cuba if you are a reporter, teacher or doing some kind of humanitarian work.
When you get back the gov. asks for a record of your spending and I think(?) you can only spend up tp $5,000.

OK and military people can go there too.
But if you are an average tourist....you can go to Cuba...if you fly out of Canada...and you like filling out government paperwork when you get back.....and paying fines.
