        Americans do not and cannot officially go to Cuba. They're lessening the rules now. I know the port in Fort Lauderdale is gearing up for future boat charters to Cuba but if I can recall, its just for Cubans to be able to travel to their homeland. May be wrong. There are airlines you can currently charter flights to Cuba on but they also have rules.

        I think it has nothing to do with security and everything about the embargo and they don't want American money flowing into the country.

        Certainly not an expert. Never been and never plan to. Just bits I think I've read or heard over the years.

        edit: so the passport thing is since we can't go but Cuba doesn't care if we do come, they just make your trip off the books by not stamping your passport. It's like you were never there.

            It's only the Americans that are anal about people going to Cuba. Cubans don't discriminate and will welcome Americans with open arms. Visa to Cuba is a tourist card, so regardless of what passport you bear, it will not be stamped or have anything glued in it. US cash is accepted, however heavy penalty is imposed on exchange from US dollars so you're much better off exchanging for Canadian dollars before arriving to Cuba.
