Cubans reentering Cuba- US permit or the Bahamas?

[bridget y rodolfo 0]

Hey y'all,

I'm curious and just want to survey a few of you out there who've married Cubans and have taken trips back to Cuba. Do you prefer to get the US license and go through Miami (I hear it's terribly expensive), get the US license and go through Bahamas/Mexico, or just go through Bahamas/Mexico? I have always traveled without permit through the Bahamas and the airport is always full of a hundred Cubans... understandably, they were probably caught in Bush's travel restrictions, but I've heard from a few people that even with permit they still prefer to avoid Miami. And I also hear that the airport on Cuban's side, coming from Miami, is very strict with reviewing luggage, etc.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

Not from personal experience but a trip to cuba is always hard..Also I believe that is not that expensive the marriage license. As far as airports they are always going to be hard just because you are coming into the country..and they are always going to be hard..I haven't had any bad experience personally going to cuba and I have being 3 times already this year all through miami.

We're already married and my husband has his green card. I'm more interested in knowing things like pros and cons to going through Miami with US license to travel to Cuba... like cost, difficulties in airport on Cuban side, etc... and if any people out there find it more beneficial to still go through a 3rd country. Now that we would be able to travel there legally, I'm still not convinced that we'd want to go through Miami. thanks!
