Which is a fancy way of saying what's really going on - Cuba is a tourist hellhole.

The service stinks, the amenities are gross, the place is thick with thieves and woman-gropers, the cost is high and the alternatives are out there, In fact, the Caribbean is loaded with pleasant, accommodating destinations well worth a tourist's dollar for a vacation. Taking a vacation at a communist military-run resort really falls more into the Gulag category.

How is this for tourist hell? Observers noticed Cuban customs officials rummaging through tourist luggage and taking what they wanted. When they complained, they were thrown in jail. Some tourist operation they've got there, In fact, the place is a security risk because no professional or U.S. or U.S.-standard officials are involved.

Mangy street dogs are what pass for security dogs in Havana. You can expect cockroaches in your breakfast cereal and tourist bulletin boards such as this one say bring your own toilet paper.

Cuba's officials aren't even interested in making their foreign investors happy. American businesses have but one purpose, according to reports, that is to serve through their presence in Havana as bait to attract other sucker businesses, the better to rob them all.

No wonder airlines don't want to be there – the U-turn they are making is rather visible.

What a dump. Best thing out there is to just say no to the hellhole so touted by Obama.

So much for that socialist tourist paradise
 
Ok, maybe I don't want to go there anymore. Besides, I just picked up some tasty Cuban cigars in the Bahamas.
 
Ahhh the fruits of communist dictatorship at it's finest. Thanks Obama for making friends with oppressive scum. You're so swell.
 
Grown in fields fertilized with cockroach and human feces. Mmmm.

I haven't heard that one. This article shows that the main growing regions use fertilizers with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.

Not that much different than when we use some of our own homegrown stuff.

Milorganite is a brand of biosolids fertilizer produced by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District,[1] a contraction of the term Milwaukee Organic Nitrogen. The District captures wastewater from the Milwaukee metropolitan area, including local industries. The solids remaining after the water is treated at the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin are then processed by microbes that digest the organic matter and turn it into organic nitrogen. Cleaned water is then returned to Lake Michigan. The recycled pelletized fertilizer, which is sold throughout North America, reduces the need for manufactured nutrients. After more than 90 years, it is one of the largest and most continuous examples of community-run nonprofit environmental programs.[1][2][3][4]

I wouldn't be real up for crossing the ocean in a plane repaired with used duct tape.

That's like going to Haiti when the DR is right next door
 
You have to fly to Cuba?? Can't you just take a Ski Doo from Key West?

SkiDoos work on the snow. You probably mean SeaDoo,

Glad yas all don't like Cuba. Enjoy Mexico and the rest of the Caribbean.
 
Lol. Even the duct tape requires duct tape

Hey, I've seen that Cuban Chrome TV show about the gearheads in Cuba.
 
A classic case of the free market working as it is supposed to. Nobody from the US wants to go to Cuba very much. Too many empty seats on the planes mean the carriers want to drop the routes. Americans would rather go to the nicer places in the Caribbean. The few people that are going are people visiting relatives in Cuba. You can bet if there were full planes flying down to Havana the airlines wouldn't stop.
 
I'm told the hookers are gorgeous and inexpensive though.

Where do you go in Cuber? Flights have either started from Tampa or will soon.
