I'm looking some agencies that offer them, but it's quite expensive and it looks like a lot of work just for a 7 day vacation. I also don't have a whole lot of money to play around with here. I think the flight connects through either NYC or Newark, not sure. That might make it more difficult. I know that some Americans who do go to Cuba often fly out of Canada or Mexico, but that's risky apparently. I am a Canadian citizen, but also American and because of that, I'm obligated to abide by US law.

Hope you can sort it though... |
My mother is Canadian, 100%. She can go because she only holds Canadian citizenship and Canada does not restrict it's citizens from travelling to Cuba. I only have a Canadian passport which might work to my advantage; however, it shows my place of birth as Detroit, Michigan.
I don't understand why the US still has this trade/travel embargo with Cuba, but frankly, it's frustrating.
