And btw, I read Wendell's report citing all that is required to make a trip to Cuba and quite honestly, that just isn't happening for me, much as I'd love to see the island. Someday, maybe. Personally, I think a lot of 'stuff' happens there but I doubt you'll ever hear of it as its not the word they want to spread and kill their new found tourism dollars.


Pat - unless things change with new administration (and I venture no predictions on that front), it is not that hard to visit Cuba - at least not if you take a cruise or go on a tour. And, I think it is as safe as any of the islands - assuming you do not get involved in politics or rule breaking. On a cruise, we are going to go to Havana for a full day, overnight, and then until 4pm next day, out of Tampa this fall. Looking forward to it. Not sure you are a cruise person, but again, lots of good tours available where everything is made very easy.
