Preferably recently. What were your experiences and did you have any trouble getting there and back?

I used to eat breakfast 500 yards from 4,000 Cubans trained to kill me at GTMO.
But I don't think that helps you at all.

Knew lots of people that would do it while in the Cayman Islands. Had no trouble getting back. They said it was amazing (the beaches).

Several times. It is an amazing place to visit. The culture is vibrant and it's all in all a good time. Had zero problems because I have one of these

Was researching this last night after Miami Vice came on. Wonder how long a speed boat ride would take from Miami to Cuba?

They will not stamp your USA passport in Cuba unless you ask them to, which is only asking for trouble when you return

Yup. I went in 2005 on a mission trip. I had a great experience. No trouble, except that the airport security (not in Havana) was extremely scrutinizing. We had armed guards escort us. Also, my passport only has Bahamas ..no Cuba stamp.

Thanks for answering for me
Looks fun and different. Safe, too...I heard they have laws that make crimes against tourists carry harsher punishments.

Havana was absolutely awesome. The rest of the country..not so much
Geographically, it was beautiful, but the other cities and towns I experienced were pretty run down. Some cool old historical sites thugh. Posted on 5/11/14 at 9:57 pm to SaintCajun

Awesome. That's the kind of info I'm looking for. I figure you go to mexico or central america, then fly over. I was just worried about customs giving me a hard time if they saw the stamp. You don't want to get on the customs people's bad side.

Tourist will not be bothered in a negative manner. Just don't wear a "Fidel Sucks" shirt or anything along those lines or try and start a rally against the government.

Some dumbass kid on my trip got busted trying to smuggle cigars through Customs. It did NOT end well.

How the hell did he get caught? That's like the easiest thing to smuggle into the states
