In the first of what is expected to be many embargo reversals courtesy of the Obama administration, the President announced today that Cuban Americans will now be allowed to travel freely to visit and send money to their relatives in Cuba:
President Barack Obama directed his administration Monday to allow unlimited travel and money transfers by Cuban Americans to family in Cuba, and to take other steps to ease U.S. restrictions on the island, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.
Like many travelers, I'm anxious for remaining embargoes to be lifted so that we can finally explore the country that has been such an enigma to Americas for more than two generations. But can Cuba handle the sure-to-be flood of new visitors?
