    One would think that your travels would've taught you that we are all NOT created equal!

    True, people aren't in the reality of the actual world…but in America it's all about equal rights (as implied to being created equal)…which goes back to the question: Is it fair one race can in the US but not others?

    who cares? :)
    was in cuba in 2001 and seen a lot of american tourists. border control in cuba does not stamp your passport, so nobody knows. its quite nice and safe, however the standards for public transport in cities are very low.

    Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for stopping by. I think the allure for me is that so many Americans think they can't go, that those who do, have the place sorta to themselves (I know plenty of Europeans and Aussies, Canadians, etc visit). The situation reminds me of Colombia, where people are too afraid to go due to the history of violence.

    If anyone is interested, I detail my foray in the forbidden territory of Cuba here: http://blog.mybeautifuladventures.com/categorie…

    It was the best risk I've EVER taken!!! Awesome entry. :)

    PS I snuck 30 cohibas back with me.

    Ooh, you're good. I never thought of arguing why I applied for a general license; I just went.

    Good tips, great article!

    President Obama has the power to make it much easier for educational, cultural, religious and humanitarian travel, and there is a suggestion he might finally be moving in that direction (but could use encouragement from those who put him in the White House):

    For conventional tourism, Congress must pass the Freedom to Travel bills so please tell your Representative and Senators how you feel about regaining a fundamental human right.

    As noted above conscientious non-cooperation is another option as the Cubans do not stamp US passports and tourist visas are available from inbound airlines. Lawyers report that for at least two years no one has been sanctioned by the US government who traveled through a third country without a license.

    Cancun is especially convenient because of an evening Mexicana/Click flight, but connections can also be made daily from Cayman (book tickets on Cayman Airlines web site), Nassau, Jamaica, Panama and Canada (especially for all-inclusives).

    It is still much safer to follow he law instead of taking the risk, before I travel I often visit blogs like this one http://sihanoukville.info/visa-requirements/ to give me more idea on how visa's work in other foreign countries.
