Cuba Travel Sept 8 -

[LandCruiser]

Thinking about going to Cuba with my girlfriend here in a couple weeks as a way to wrap up the summer. Whats it like now for those of us from the US? Has it become a lot harder, more stressful, etc? We are wanting this to be a week of relaxation - Im not worried about how many cigars I can bring back, etc. Prob just grab a box or two and some customs. Mainly interested in the process of getting to and from, visa, etc. 

Any help from those of you who have made the trip recently would be great!

Extremely easy to acquire your visa at your departure gate. You just have to pay the fee that your airline charges and they basically do the rest for you. I wasn't asked on my last trip why I was going to Cuba but "support for Cuban people" seems to work every time. I had no problems in Cuba or U.S. customs. If you bring back less than 100 cigars you are golden. It helps to have receipts for things your purchase in Cuba like artwork, sculptures, etc. Hope this helps!
