Thanks for your thoughts on this. I understand the situation but it's frustrating all the same. Cuba is a fascinating destination and it's a shame for the local economy and people, as well as British travellers if this destination is now effectively out of bounds due to the whim of the ex-US President. I guess that was the intention.
