I researched it, you can already vacation there via loopholes, but it has to be in the form of these wierd historical guided tours and such...we didn't want a honeymoon with a chaperone, -that would have been lame. I think we could do it now or shortly with the restrictions lifted on business travel, what with M's retail store and all. We could do a buying trip.

I bet that most travel is normalized in a half a decade or so as long as stupid Republicans don't brand it a leftist Obama policy that needs to be destroyed. Most effective way to open up that country to political reform is probably opening markets and exporting our capitalistic culture. I'm sure I'm being too optimistic now that I think about it since overturning the sanctions would require congressional approval.
