for Cuba is $450 can u believe that???and the exit permit $150 and the flight $260 ohhh and the intervview $131

grrrrrr

OMG. For Jordan it's only 60JD (about 90 USD) for medical and $131 visa/interview. I have read about Cuba being awful.....It's like if they come on a raft, they are fine. But if they try and do everything the legal and correct way, they have a really hard time. So unfair. :angry: Also, I'm very curious about your flight to Cuba and to USA. Do you have to travel to another country first or do we allow direct flights from Miami? When I lived in Belize I was going to try and go to Cuba from Mexico, but I heard rumors that there is a secret invisible stamp they put on our passports that could get us in trouble, so I never went. :unsure:

well Omaba aproved the law that says we are allowed to travel as many times as we want to Cuba..but has not signed it yet...since I already went in May..I had to buy a $100 religious license + ticket in order to be allowed to enter..I have to lie at customs and say iam going for religous purposes...if I didnt buy this license i wouldnt be able to go since I already went once this year...

You don't need to lie...it is for religious purposes... You are going to worship your SO...ya, that's it... :thumbs:

LMAO thats a good line..LMAO

PS: you remind me of my college English professor...I wonder why

Maria is 5'4 and 100lbs and is full of attitude...very strong.. spunky... whatever you want to call it.... I love it!

Holy #######!!!!!!!!!!! It's like you are describing my Marina. Exactly the same. Maybe it's the Soviet gene.

Oksana is 5'3" 105 lbs. That really is uncanny.

r u guys selling ur SOs or what?

Iam 115 5'3

34" 20 34" LMAO

I told Oksana the same thing. Most of her clothes are going to be worthless in Florida. I told her to pack only the light clothes. We'll nuy new stuff when she gets here. Siberian weather and Florida weather are so different that 90% of her wardrobe is too heavy.

You all should consider using those "space bags". When I go to bring my SO back here, I am taking a bunch of those. They are those space saving plastic bags that you suck the air out to compress the size. We'll be able to bring almost all her clothes back this way much easier.

I use the backpacker/traveler equivalent of these - compression stuff sacks. They weigh only a few ounces and you put clothes etc in them, and then pull the straps (basically one on each "corner") and it squeezes the stuff inside down to about half the size (thought the weight is the same. Space Bags weigh more, and if you put a hole in them, they are useless.

As for packing and flying here, Jenny already said she plans on one bag and a carry-on (I just love that she is so practical!). I will also likely fly with a suitcase with only a little space used - enough for a few pairs of shorts, underwear, and shirts which she can fill too. My other bag will be my diving gear which I usually smuggle on as "carry on". If we need to get more stuff here, we will send a big box or 2 via mail. And don't forget, trying to bring all the lotions, shampoos, etc makes little sense. Bring enough for a few days (travel size) and go shopping here to get that stuff (or like me, buy some for her and have it waiting for her).
