CSM Private RallyPoint Member I'd love to. It used to be a famous vacation spot for Americans back in in 10's-30's.

Actually, CSM Private RallyPoint Member, that was one of my first thoughts. It's still a Communist nation, but I guess the option is there. It would be neat to get to Cuba before they commercialize to accommodate the influx of American tourists.

I think I'll wait for a while and let the 'bugs' get worked out first, but I definitely want to get there before it gets built into a tourist trap. Probably don't have to worry about that for a little while though, lol. I look forward to going.

According to what I read the new policies don't open up travel to Cuba for tourism quite yet.

CSM Private RallyPoint Member If they set up a high-speed ferry from key west in the next year or so I might make a visit, could be interesting.

I would love to travel there, I've seen it from the deck of a ship.

I doubt I would be allowed to though, and if it were known I was who I was while I was there, I'm sure I would not be allowed to fully experience the island.

Maybe some day.

I've heard stories from friends about how they would walk out the gates of GITMO to the clubs off post... All named after American states.

Been to GTMO on an all expense paid, government sponsored vacation. Nothing really intrigued me enough to want to go back. Got some cool pics of Havana when my grandfather went there back in WWII while stationed at GTMO.

I just can't wait for the embargo to be lifted so my local liquor store can stock some Havana Club 7 Year Old.

I get worked up about this topic. There are still political prisoners. The Castros just execute those they don't like. Anyone who goes there supports that.

I really have never wanted to see Cuba on a map and I sure haven’t lost anything there that I didn’t throw out a window and seeing that’s not really an option I can truly say I haven’t lost anything there
