More Liana Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 If you didn't see this announcement, effective Tuesday June 4, 2019, you'll want to read it. There are several other articles in the NYTimes (and I'm sure in other newspapers) about this new wrinkle. https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/06/04/us/politics/ap-us-united-states-cuba.html?searchResultPosition=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Come on guys. I learn so much here. Then when things are just getting interesting, politics comes up and then the mods lock the topic. And yes I have very strong political opinions as well, and if I were to post them, not only would the string be locked but I bet I would be banned for life Please don't get this string get locked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that supposed to be something bad? I get the feeling (in this thread) that it is kind of meant to be an insult whereas I thought that the poster was very cognitive about the problem of travel to another country which hadn´t existed before and had nothing to do with elections or politics. Does travelling to Cuba make you political? I´m sure both Republicans and Democrats have made that trip as tourists, so either could be Libtsrds.

I have a friend who is an American citizen living in Mexico who did that during the era when it was banned in the U.S. She had no problem going from Mexico to Cuba with a group.

FlyFree Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 If you want to travel to Cuba there are vacation packages that you can travel on, right here, locally. Visit this communist country, and see how the real Cuban's live. If you want to move there on a permanent basis, and join their lifestyle, I'm sure they will be happy to take your dollars. In the meantime see Fidel Castro's grandson's decadent lifestyle: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=images+of+Fidel+Castro's+garndson+on+his+yacht&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Definitely not in Cuba. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Again with the politics!! Ever notice how, no matter whether it's coming from the right or the left, the subject brings out the "snark" in posters? That's my objection to the mods letting it happen. According to my friend who went there with a group, it's an interesting place and well worth a visit. So are China and Russia. That by no means indicates a desire to move to any of those places.🤨 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 It's obvious to me that the people who have posted regarding the link that started this thread have not bothered to read the article. The article CLEARLY STATES that this new rule applies to cruise ships departing from the USA. And FYI, if you simply looked at the words in the link itself--not even the article--it should be apparent that the NYTimes thought it was political news. I don't care one way or the other, it simply seemed like travel news that would interest some members of this board. I guess "interest" means "let's all bash one another". Good grief. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
