TripCrazed informed its readers at the possibility of the 46 year old ban being released from Americans visiting Cuba. Although we are still far from visiting Cuba, its nice to imagine a time when we can actually do so. Or at least have some kind of peaceful diplomatic ties with the country.
Colombian singer Juanes, known for songs such as "A Dios Le Pido" was part of "Peace Without Borders", a concert featuring himself and other musicians trying to end the political divide that has been hurting Cubans for 50 years.

I would be willing to say that we will at least see some travel restrictions lessened under this new administration. Bush actually tightened travel restrictions.

For things to totally change with regard to restrictions between the US and Cuba, I think it's either going to take the passing away of Fidel Castro or the dying off of anyone in Congress that remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis.
