Just saw this... Hard to get any traction while the other higher profile legislation is in process, but it does represent one of Obama's campaign pledges.

Is there a mention in this bill on any other things being lifted besides travel

Scottw · 02-10-2009, 10:15 AM

Could be signs for things to come.

Interesting. I'd love to travel there.

I’m glad to see something like this introduced. I hope it makes some progress.

Nothing in that bill as far as I can see...

Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act (Introduced in House)[H.R.874.IH]

But this was proposed a month back...

Cuba Reconciliation Act (Introduced in House)[H.R.188.IH]

It won't allow direct links to the legislation, but search here for "Cuba"(That's not working now either, you have to type in the legislation number) and you can read the details of the legislation.

What's stopping you? Round trips to Cuba from Mexico are affordable and easy.

You will have to get up early to beat me on booking my trip the day this happens (whenever that may be)!!
