As I was reading this, all I could think of is this is the utopia that Zero wanted to turn the US into.
I have some liberal relatives who went there for a week, as soon as 0bama started promoting it. That was back when Cuba was trying to put on a good face to attract visitors. Now, not so much, it seems.
You notice that the Lyin’ King and his stout frau didn’t go to Havana to vacay after Pres. Trump’s inauguration.
When asked about his trip his reply was: "Communism doesn't work."
I hear the child prostitutes are first rate.
Anybody know if the cruise ships are still goin’ there?
“tourist bulletin boards such as this one say bring your own toilet paper”
BYOTP.......good to know, but I wouldn’t go there to throw up.
It sounds to me as though the bribes just got to be too much.
I’ve read several trip reports, no have included raving recommendations.
What I’ve read can be summed up as
-Crappy airport
-Crappy hotels
-Overpriced internet
-Crappy food
-Crappy transportation
-Surly staff everywhere
These reports were from people who can best be considered hyper-travelers and are used to going off the beaten path.
Nah, I’m looking forward to my next trip to Aruba.

Having worked on a RCCL cruise ship for 10 months, 6 of which were in the Caribbean, I have a rather jaded view of most Carib destinations. That is NOT to say they are not decent places to go if you have not been to each of them 5-40 times like I have. So I am not counter-recommending them or anything.
But I *will* say that while each has something slightly different, there is a LOT they have in common, primarily, crushing poverty esp once you get out of the tourist zones. Although I never felt like any particular area was dangerous, it was clear that if you went far away from touristy areas you COULD place yourself in danger. That would be not be one iota different from Detroit or Philly by the way.
It’s an adventure vacation!
Come and work in the sugarcane fields!
Spent a week in the lovely dungeons!
Build your own boat to sail back to America!
What fun!
Talked to a billionaire customer that went there just after it opened up last year. He can’t eat meat, and lives basically on fish.
The island paradise does not have fish. He mentioned at first he thought that was strange. Then he saw what he called the one of the most beautiful marina’s in the Havana. It did not have any boats. Then it hit him, all the boats that were there are in Miami.
No boats no fish.
Well, there’s always Venezuela or Zimbabwe..................
Kind of sounds like our TSA. One of the main reasons I refuse to fly.
Also ask them about how flights to Israel are disappearing and how Dubai is becoming a hub making our majors potentially non-competitive, Dubai ports Part Deux IMHO....
Yet, our elite liberals will go there and come back singing the praises of Cuba re its free medical care and great schools.
They will praise the Cuban Commies for creatinga wonderful place for common people in this hellhole.
Every time I hear the phrase “Cuba this,” or “Castro that,” I reflect on the fact that we were unable or unwilling to terminate Fidel and the rest of his Communist thugs with extreme prejudice when we had the chance!
Cuba has been a story that does not end well since Castro took over.
Somehow, someway, Cuba has got to be wrested away FRom the Communists!
Why are not all the America hating Hollywierdos flocking there? Isn’t this exactly how they want America to look with free Healthcare?
Pray America woke
