Question RE: The Cuba Trip

[genevapics]

El Presidente:

Have you ever had any americano's participate on the cuban trip?

[El Presidente]

Not yet but we meet plenty down there.

Not all that difficult as most go via Canada or Mexico. Visa's are completed at Havana airport for $25 and passport is never stamped.

When I was there three years ago a friend I was travelling with lost his visa card for Cuba. We just picked up another one at Cancun airport in Mexico for $25. It was just stapled into the passport. Pretty easy to remove once you return to Mexico. ;-)

Rob,

Excuse a stupid question. But why do people go via Canada to Cuba? And why don't they worry about stamping passports?

Ross, If I may comment on this, My country has had an embargo in place since 1960. It prohibits travel and economic dealings with Cuba.

Thanks for that. I read that site. Gee I am glad to live in Australia, where we cant be stuffed banning people from going places. We are too lazy to even stop people coming here uninvited.

God Bless Australia.

is that a baseball team?

To the best of my knowledge this was one of the circa 1940-1950s Cuban baseball teams. My buddy Picker had a baseball jersey made up and wore it to a cigar Aficianado event that we attended .He thought it would be cool. Carlos Fuente Sr. who is a Cuban native recognized it and asked if he could get a picture with us. I'll have to google it.
