Embargo be gone?

[TJCoro]

Say It Loud!

I wonder how this will pan out. I've wanted to go to Cuba for a while now, even before I started smoking cigars.

Haha! You can say that again!

(Hurumph!) He already did.

Initially maybe but if when it opens up to the general public it will be just like any other place spoiled by hordes of noisy Americans on holiday

You could say that about New Orleans or any of their Americana rich towns or cities .... they don't ruin them, they cherish them and have very strict rules about what can or can't be done.

[TJCoro]

Yankee Bashing!

Yeah right, sadly i thinking its in their nature , eventually it comes down to big bucks to be made

Cigarworld here we come

Gentlemen...GENTLEMEN! Stereotyping is bad for your health...your character.

Not only are many of me best amigos americanos, but we have quite a few on these forums, most of whom are fine folk, fine folk indeed. Besides, the yanks have been going to all the other islands in the Caribbean for years and I haven't noticed any unseemly influences as a result....at least not the Islands I visit.

Now, I'm as upset as the next lad about the yanks invading our beloved Cuba, but not because they will f*ck it up, but because it will be harder to find a nice room, fine puro and a warm chica.

I really don't think the Yanks would want to ruin it or have it ruined by over-development. It's character is part of the appeal.

Being half americano, I couldn't agree more, brother.

Fair point tj , maybe I was slightly unfair , but being an Englishman the good old yanks aren't exactly renowned for their reserve and subtlety

[PeeJay]

Too true Oski, they were a noisy and rude bloody pain in the arse in the DR

That's in their own country T, have you encountered large quantities of them on holiday. Just think Magaluf and double the volume. I'm not saying British tourists are any better but they have ready access to the Caribbean like we do to the Costas.

As host's, the Americans are hard to beat. Great service, plentiful food, good standards of accommodation. However, as tourists...they are quite 'unique'

[TJCoro]

Unfair Comparision!

Well, if you going to compare them to the Englishman, then I'd have to agree, but on the whole, yanks can fairly accommodating....at least the ones I know.

Down Mexico Way!

I agree chico wayne...some yanks can be quite "unique" and demanding while on travel, but so can other nationalities I've bumped into during my world travels.

But if its top-notch hospitality you're looking for, than look no further than the lovely resorts of Mexico! Can't be beat!

Haha! Perhaps...or perhaps they just know how to PARTY!!!

....Which got in the way of you puro enjoyment!

We have stayed in Playa del Carmen, very nice too

[PeeJay]

I see in the news today that Raul has said that Gitmo must go before a relationship can be properly established

[TJCoro]

First Stumble!

Yeah...me amigos americanos woke me this morning to tell me the news. Sounds like chico habanos told se?or Castro about our bet.

Now, this may be nothing more than the first round of negotiations or it may be deal breaker....as me yankee amigos say, "Queer the Deal!"

Obama has already said he wants to get rid of it because its an embarrassment

[TJCoro]

Not So Fast!

Ahem...I think he said he wants to CLOSE Guantanamo, not give back the land. He's been saying this since his first campaign for president in 2008.

That's what me yankee amigos say, anywayz.
