A guy who plays in my home game used to go to Cuba a couple of times a year. His son went to McGill, so he'd drive to Montreal, let the kid use his car for a week, and buy a plane ticket with cash. He did this for three years, even had a girl friend down there.
Then, on one trip, his hotel in Havana decided to scam the Yanqui. The presented him with a trumped up $800 phone bill when he was checking out. He skipped out the back, but the federales bagged him at the airport. He managed to talk his way out, but has never gone back. Too bad. The girl was hot.
