    It's near impossible to get caught.... Just don't bring back any cuban cigars or rum.... They don't stamp your passport. And cuba doesn't mind americans. It's only the Americans that mind....

    So if i dont bring anything back, customs won't know. I guess i cannot use a credit card down there either, huh?

    I believe if you get American money changed into CUC, then you are charged a 10% surcharge.

    Wouldn't it be mostly cash only down there anyways?

    Oh ya, that's another thing, they accept Visa and MC as long as it's not from an American bank. I don't know how many times I was asked that, "Is the credit card from an american bank?", I'd tell them no it's from a Canadian bank, then no problem. So ya, as a U.S. citizen you'd be spending cash for sure.... I think Drew is right, it'd be cheaper to bring Canadian currency down there if you can. Less of a surcharge.

    Well, if i got duel citizenship with say Belize, and the US didn't require me to 'cancel' my US citizenship, then I could fly back to Belize and then to the US with my Belize passport under the guise of being a Belizean. So assuming that the US is cool with 'sharing the love' I could go to Cuba as a Belize resident? I bet US rules would still somehow apply, bummer.

    As I understand it, you can go to Cuba, but the FBI still flags your file for going.

    How will the FBI flag you if they don't know you went?
