MD,
One of the most fascinating things for Canadians vacationing in Cuba is that
there are no
loud US citizens there.
Canadian firms have been investing a lot in Cuba and the big payoff is just
around the corner
as soon, US firms will legally be allowed to invest in Cuba. I have list of
Canadian companies
that will do extremely well when the US embargo is lifted, My star choice,
a Canadian firm
called Sherrit, which has oil and nickle deposits in Cuba, was up 25% today.
Right up to today, a US citizen living in Florida which is only 90 miles away
from Cuba,
had to travel all the way to Toronto to catch a flight to Cuba.
Yes, we do live in very interesting times.

Subject: [Goanet] Obama allows unlimited trips, money transfers(?) to Cuba
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is allowing Americans to make unlimited
trips and money transfers to family in Cuba and easing other restrictions
Monday to usher in a new era of openness toward the island country ruled by
communists for 50 years. The White House made the formal announcement during
presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs' daily briefing with reporters in both
English and Spanish.
"People were already planning to travel more based on their ability to go
every 12 months," said Aral, owner of ABC Charters. "Whether they can travel
more frequently than that* depends on the economy*." Or like the Cubans
did, now poor Americans and Cuban Americans can travel in make shift boats
to be rescued by Cuban Coast Guard. But though Americans treat visitors
differently (I heard even ex India's Union Cabinet Minister was strip
searched!!), they would expect Roayl treatment once in Cuba. Enjoy
the Hawanas, atleast American dollars may buy some now!!
