Sorry to blow your sex tourist bubble, folks, those days are over. The government cracked down so heavy on foreign/local affairs in recent years that any too friendly chiquita cubana risks to end up in the slammer. You still get discreet offers by your hotel clerk, but it's not like it used to be, when they hung out in droves at your hotel entrance to be picked up. You can still get the rum, though. :D

......while you folks are busy getting ginned up over this recent development keep in mind that sooner or later, everything you love about cuba and what makes cuba appealing to us (i.e. googie mid century architecture, pristine beaches, uncluttered old worlds skylines, etc...) will be gone once the floodgates are opened...where you once saw vast stretches of beach you will see a days inn or marriott hotel chain....where you saw quaint eateries, you will see the cancer that is mcdonalds and KFC....trader vics will eventually get demolished like they do over here....anything remotely 40 or so years old is gonna get a big facelift...cuba is gonna change, no doubt about it...but i fear it will be a change for the worse....cuba will eventually become new jersey!!
