<p>i think i'm gonna just claim my argentine citizenship and get an argentine passport, go to havana via buenos aires and an argentine travel agent.</p>
<p>the risk even for americans isn't that big though, even though bush started prosecuting people who violated the travel ban, only about 1 in like 100 people get caught now, and of those few are starting to go in front of a judge. the worst you get is a fine (a big one).</p>
<p>On the Americans having a consulate, while there's no embassy in havana, there's an American interest section in the Swiss embassy, which serves the basic functions.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help guys, looks like this is just gonna be a winter trip for me, instead of a study program. I'm gonna start saving money this summer. Maybe the Democrats will step up to the plate before then and lift the embargo already.
?Que Viva Cuba y la revoluci?n!</p>
