Since it is still illegal for American citizens to visit Cuba, I don't think you will find much official travel advice here, you have to look among your fellow Canadians...or the numerous blogs on the subject. Many Americans visit via Canada or Mexico every year, but they risk high fines, so they wouldn't like to talk about it.
And I have to warn you, the book presented here is about the glamour period of Cuba's past. Today's realities are somewhat different. Sure, many bars have great live Cuban music, you can get decent Mojitos and Daiquiris everywhere...but do not order anything else at The Polinesio, for example. You have to have the attitude of an urban archeologist discovering remnants of a time passed. Do not expect a "fun tropical vacation"...unless your kind of fun is found in architecture and history.
93 miles away I sit pensively, impatiently waiting, longing......NOW this book!....taunting me... Damn it Jim!.....I mean Sven, I'm only a roving anthropologist, not a Doctor of political science! :o :lol: :cry:.....are there any copies left?
