    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?

    It doesn't matter what passport you use, Cuba doesn't stamp it. Even as a Canadian, if Cuba stamped my passport, then I would have mucho problems getting into America next time.

    Really? US customs would give you a hard time? Geeze. So when you went last, they didn't stamp your passport?

    The FBI isn't going to go through the flight records of another country. You are super paranoid Cigargirl.... Tons of Americans travel to Cuba every day...


    No, they don't stamp anyone's passport, not even mine.
