This is good news. Living as an American in Canada, I know A TON of people that vacation to Cuba often and freely, which makes me quite envious (in fact a friend of mine is there right now and won't stop instagraming amazing photos). I can't wait to visit. I've also never really considered the fact that Raul is quite old himself. We'll get there in no time :)

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

You can go there. There's no restriction on Cuba's end. They let American passports in without a visa. You just have to take Air Canada to get there, or Aeromexico.
