How does that work? Do you have to get a Cuban visa?
It's pretty easy. Lets say you want to visit the Yucatan for a few days of sun and fun. Head to a local travel agent and book a ticket from say Cancun to Cuba for a few days. Cubans don't care if you are a US citizen and the US itself doesn't care too much, but the Cubans won't stamp your passport just to be on the safe side. That way immigration won't give you shit for being there when you come back in via Mexico.
It's a quick flight and cheap. I'd like to see Cuba before all the US tourists start flocking there in droves. It's already a popular destination for other westerners.
Currently you can go over their via an educational group with selected travel agents, but I don't like group things. That will expand a bit when and if some of the restrictions are lifted.
A good friend works for State Dept and I know a few others within the organization that I've talked to about it. Not a big deal at all.
