The U.S. government says your passport isn't valid for travel there, but it's not up to them whether Cuba accepts it, which they will. I believe if you Google around, you can find a travel agency that can set up a trip.

Rosie I have friends in Puerto Rico who simply book a flight and go. They say Cubans are delighted to accept our cash. lol I was going to say the same thing... Cuba wants tourist money. They are no dummies. ;-) The restrictions against Cuba seem to slowly be relaxing. I understand that they are at least getting US food shipments again, including Cattle. The thing I hate most about trade embargoes is that they don't ever hurt the government or their cronies. They only ever hurt the people that have no control over the situation in the first place. Their military eats just fine. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson

Okk, I am curious, how did you go to Cuba? Are you US? I didn't think we could go to Cuba and truthfully I have always wanted to go. How did you do it? Rosie I encourage you to check this one out for yourself. Call the State Dept. and check their website: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_p.../cis_1097.html. Yes Cubans will allow you in, certainly they want your money and they will not "stamp" your passport, so you may not be caught when you reenter, still does not make it legal for a US person to travel there without approval. What some of these people are saying here can be somewhat, kinda sorta true, some pure BS and they will argue it to the day they die cuz they read it on the Internet. But I'm betting on the Government to be correct in its regulations and laws they wrote . You can certainly go to Cuba by way of Canada, Mexico, Europe as well as many Carib islands, BUT a US person is subject to US Laws, and the US Legal System to go there unless you have license approval. I persoanlly know of a photog her in WA that goes to Cancun and then hops a plane to Cuba. Even though he is in an approved group, he is not specifically a Journalist so he has never been able to get a license, so he "skirts" the laws. Another I personally know is a US Citizen of Nicarguan Decent visiting on a UW Latin Amer. Study Program. as to the seriousness of this, here is but one link: http://afrocubaweb.com/news/cubatravelnews.htm War Story: I recall being briefed in a US Customs ( Pre ICE) C/N course that a US businessman was fined ( want to say 15-20K?) for trips he took to explore biz ops in Cuba. One thing US persons may not be aware of is that US Custom will pay up to a 10% snitch fee of what they collect and it does not have to be paid to a US Person. Guess who turned in this Business man? A Cuban Immigration official who was stiffed of his "tip". Your chances of getting caught? probably slim but with all this HLS hysteria I would not chance it.
