How can a US citizen travel to Cuba?
The US Gov’t has more manpower directed at Cuba than at the “war on terror”. The “consular office” that GreenTentacle posted about has nothing to do with “helping citizens abroad”. They are there for propaganda purposes and obviously spying. All they do is waste taxpayer money coming up with stupid stunts to harass Castro’s government. If you as a citizen, without a specific Treasury license went there, you would be in deep shit. I have been to Cuba twice with a Treasury license and have traveled to Havana, Nuevitas, Baracoa, and Santiago de Cuba. It is an interesting place and I wish it was easier to go back. But the last 3 years have seen a severe clamp down by our gov’t on the issuance of licenses, many more heavy fines being issued against violators and even increasingly draconian rules on spending any money there. Even Cuba has made it less easy to use greenbacks for buying anything down there. Now you must convert dollars to their currency. US dollars are effectively outlawed. Yo
