Cuba
Any of you been there since restrictions eased. (Have restrictions eased??)
If you have some extra 53-55 chevys parts, bring them with you. You'll be extra welcomed. |

Nah, I try not to visit any country that is designated as a sponsor of terrorism and try not to spend money in any country that so significantly violates the human rights of their citizens.
|
I will not spend a penny in a communist country. Ever.
|
Wife and I are going to Havana next winter. I want to see it before it becomes westernized and modernized. The world is getting smaller and more similar. Cuba, for better or for worse, is one of the few places left on the planet that isn't, yet.
|
As much as I would like to go...it is just too selfish to prop up such a brutal regime by spending money there.

Will do!

Friends went without me a few years back, after I told them I wasn't going there for personal/political reasons....some here flamed me for it, whatever. I saved a few grand to do better things and nobody that went said they would go again. Better places to spend my vacation dollars.
|
would they take my sail boat away if i sailed in their harbor?

My buddy was there in January. Said he noticed more soldiers present (Varadaro area). They were checking the locals id's and didn't bother the tourist's. He goes every year. Also you had to look for cigars. The places that normally would have them didn't. The cigar store in the airport was gone. He figures the government is selling them to somewhere else and keeping more control on that business.
|
Political reasons aside, I would like to see Cuba before it becomes another Hawaii or Mexico. I quit Hawaii after five trips as I just watched it get more crowded/congested each time.
When I was in Fiji a few years ago, my thought was this was probably how Hawaii was 50 years ago? |
go panting into Cuba like an obedient dog let back into the house? No thanks, not even for cigars.

a friend of mine from the Ferrari owners club just got back from a trip he described as epic. I will plan on going this fall or winter. I will enjoy a cigar or twenty:) I look forward to my first visit!

Its like most govt problems
The people (citizens ) get blamed for bad govt. I doubt the Cubans are bad people. |
