I don't think that Americans can get a visa to get into Cuba from the Cuban Government, if there is an embasy in Germany, check. <BR> <BR>I think you will have to choose another island. Sorry. Hopefully some day soon restrictions will be lifted. <BR>

<BR>Hi Pamela, <BR> <BR>There are no restrictions by the Cuban Government on U.S. citizens travelling to Cuba. The restrictions are by the American government, who will not allow their citizens to travel to Cuba except under special circumstances. If you still travel under an American passport you may experience some delay at the airport when you arrive, but once you get through immigration you should have no trouble. <BR> <BR> The Cuban immigration does not stamp your passport in the same way as other countries, so no one can tell that you had ever been there. <BR> <BR> I am a canadian who has visited Cuba many times and love it. <BR> <BR> If I can be of further assistance please feel free to e-mail me. <BR> <BR>Kathy

Pam, We've just returned from Varadero, Cuba and ran into a few Americans. They had absolutely no problems at all in customs or otherwise. Have fun. Rob

I am an American (L.A. area) and have been to Cuba twice. Technically it isn't illegal for us to go there, just illegal to spend U.S. dollars there. One way of getting around this is to book an all inclusive trip through a foreign travel agent. <BR> <BR>When I arrived in Havana, the Cuban authorities treated me just like everyone else. No problems. When I returned, our customs only seemed to be interested in what I was bringing back. Since I didn't have any cigars, rum or other contraband, they searched my luggage and let me go. <BR> <BR>I had a great time and plan on returning in October. Go for it! <BR> <BR>E-mail me if you need any more info.
