The Opening to Cuba Widens

NY Times Editorial 3.16.2016

N The new rules announced by the administration on on March 15, 2016  will make traveling there easier and cheaper. In the past, Americans who wanted to travel legally to Cuba had to rely on companies licensed by the Treasury Department, which required that the tour operators keep detailed itineraries and records to prove that the trips were cultural and educational experiences.  Now, proving that the trip has educational purposes will rest with the travelers. (And any seasoned traveler will tell you that conversations with bartenders, beachside or not, can be mightily educational.)
