About the only way for an American to travel to Cuba without getting into some *serious* hot water with the fed (something like long-term jail-time and a half-million USD fine for travelling to Cuba) is to travel to and from Cuba via Canada. Canada is also how you get any Cuban products (though buying Cuban products is verboten worldwide for US citizens, it's a law nearly impossible to enforce, as demonstrated by the 80 bajillion shops selling Cuban cigars around Vancouver, BC and likely other major metros within a reasonable drive of US metros). I understand the Canada connection is a big reason why Cuba does the extra page on request. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
