Hey guys! Thank thank you so much for the congratulations!

Yes loto, I still think to go to Cuba. My wife will kill me if I don't. So I am thinking of leaving the NVC (guides intact) for my Mother to finish up. My mother cand handle it but I am not sure if NVC will accept her inquiring for the case over the phone. Is it possible?

Peace!

Congrats to you guys

Being from Canada and not having any restrictions, I went to Cuba twice and loved it. The beaches are superb, wonderful people, great music and fantastic food. All good.
