This must have been a phone call from 15 years ago because Cuba is already massively open to tourism. I'm a Canadian and I can tell you that virtually everyone I know back in Montreal has been to Cuba at least once on vacation. Big vacation spot for Canadians as well as Europeans, especially Germans and Spaniards. Sadly, although I am a Canadian citizen I would still, technically need permission from the U.S. State Department if I wanted to got to Cuba. Why? Because the restriction for Americans to travel to Cuba extends to resident aliens such as myself. Of course, as I understand it, thousands of Americans go to Cuba each year as tourists without State Department approval by boat from Florida. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
