Pack your bags, kids, we're going to
Cuba! Seriously, what travel agent's packaged deal could possibly compete with Cuba's abject poverty and their thirst for tourism dollars?
In a measured break with a half-century of U.S. policy toward communist Cuba, the Obama administration lifted restrictions Monday on Cuban-Americans who want to travel and send money to their island homeland.
In a further gesture of openness, U.S. telecommunications firms were freed to seek business there, too. But the broader U.S. trade embargo remained in place.
Well it's a start, ain't it? It sounds like the Castro brothers aren't long for this world, anyway, so
this is likely to evaporate just as quickly as $50 at a Havana brothel.
