Cuba is more than attractive for Americans, so many years before was too. After President Obama acted to remove certain travel restrictions last December, more Americans are looking to see what they've been missing out on for half a century.
Many companies from the USA have declared to be anxious to negotiate with Cuba in the new political opening. MasterCard recently allowed service on the island, along with American Express, so Americans can start swiping.
With roughly 60,000 rooms on the island, many of Cuba's residents are renting space in their own homes with more than 1,000 listings on Airbnb.
Until more hotels can be developed, the country remains ripe for the cruise lines, which are already floating hotels. And they have quietly charted 11 viable harbors.
But despite last month's handshake between Mr. Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro, and a deal brokered and then blessed by none other than the pope, being a traditional tourist in Cuba is still illegal for Americans.
Getting around that ban means bringing something of value to the country, like the Minnesota Orchestra did last week when they became the first American orchestra to perform since the president moved to normalize relations.
Whether you play an instrument or not, Americans must qualify in one of 12 categories to be licensed for travel, which includes family visits, religious or educational activities and humanitarian projects.

The thruth is: In the near future many Americans will come to Cuba with the only hope to forget and share with the Cubans in the same space, so both countries must be prepared for the impact with the only hope to leave back 50 years of history.
