No. Being English and being in the fortunate position to travel to Cuba several times I have seen first hand what an impact the trade embargo has had on the ordinary Cuban people. They have a currency that is worth nothing on the open market and to quote some of those wonderful people they are now stuck in 1962.
Americans can travel almost any where in the world why should they travel to a island that their government continues to enforce a trade embargo that ensure ordinary people continue to live in poverty without the every day items we take for granted.
Despite this the Cuban people are the most warm and friendly with high standards in education, medical care and family values that put us in the so called developed world to shame.
If American people want to travel to Cuba maybe they need to pressure their government to change policies and become much more open minded.
I hope that even when their president dies things will only change when life becomes easier for the people of this country.
