Hey Everyone--
I am an American who regularly visits the DR. Some of my Dominican friends are in the process of planning a trip to Cuba and I really want to go with them. However, it is my understanding that it is technically illegal for a US citizen to visit Cuba without first obtaining some sort of dispensation from the US government.
I guess the US government gives these travel permissions to religious travelers, business travelers, academics and certain other categories of travellers. I do not fit into any of those categories, as I would be a simple tourist.
Does anyone know of some way I can visit Cuba without committing some kind of statutory crime?
--Thanks!
