I have to say, I hope the Embargo with Cuba never get's lifted. If this were to happen, It would turn into what I call an American strip mall.

Cuba is Awsome, Clean, Serene, Gorgeous. It's land is full of History and Tradition. I beleive that we need to keep the Wonder of it far away from American hands.

Enjoy a Cuban C'GAR when U can, BUT let the CUBAN'S enjoy CUBA

I'd be ok with sacrificing that it if meant getting Cubans easier... Just saying.

So, as I understand it Americans can freely travel there but we cannot spend US currency thus the embargo....so can I exchange for Candian currency and spend that? I want to go becuase they have EPIC flyfishing....and I will smoke CC's while I am doing that :-)

I get this from it,

If he doesn't have to deploy (leave the country) to get Cubans, he will vote for Obama. Because, Obama supports easing the embargo.

Eh?

Mike, from what I have researched Cuba will gladly take US currency. Just don't tell them you are from the US. I hope to do a carribean cruise soon and so far that's the general info I have got.

Well close... I will vote for Obama if he will lift the embargo. For those who don't know Obama is forcing the Military to CUT their numbers and he has said somethings that i will not get into. I should keep my opinion of him to myself...

I think the only ones who don't want you to spend US currency is the US, I am fairly sure the Cubans will take it :-)

Blanket statements about Cuba, and how beatiful and wonderful it is. Do you have any pictures from your latest visit to the resort district or were you visiting neighborhoods? I'd be interested to see where this opinion of how great Cuba is came from. :-)

Also, nice turn towards politics :-)

In all fairness though Larry, there are alot of places like that which are not under an embargo...I have stayed at resorts in the Dominican which are incredible but walk half a block away and people are living in shanty towns, same with most of Mexico, Belize and Costa Rica, I am not sure how happy the locals are but I could still say that they are beautiful places...:-)

I'm going to agree with this. I, personally, think that any island city/town is a beautiful place. Even in the markets, where the common/poverished shop, are interesting.

It's an outsider perspective that makes it beautiful, I think. The people who live there probably see it much differently.

Resorts are beatiful, small coastal villages are quaint, but to make statements about entire countries as a whole is a bit of a stretch. Particularly in a country where their refugees make a 70 mile boat trip regularly to try to start a better life in America. That is where my sentiment lies, with no knowledge of how he is making blanket statements about a country. Just wondering where he gets his opinion from. Thats why I asked. :-)
