No Cuba for you!
Posted by: Budget Travel, Wednesday, Aug 15, 2007, 5:13 PM

CNN.com is reporting that Travelocity.com has been fined by the U.S. government for booking trips between our country and Cuba in violation of our government's long-standing embargo.

For context, read Erik Torkells' essay "On Life, Liberty, and the Freedom to Travel."

I have always wanted to visit cuba, I love the literature, I love the culture, it would be wonderful to take my children there and to see this beautiful country. I see no reason why we can not travel there.
