Please can I arrange for my mother-in-law to be wheeled to Cuba on a one-way trip?

What happened if a USC was discovered to have travelled to Cuba?

Re: Looks like US citizens can travel to Cuba
USC's can travel to Cuba as part of an educational or religious group. Got talking to a fellow patient in a waiting room about it the other day. She's going today as part of her church group. Long list of restrictions about what they can take and what they can bring back. Not sure if that is a government list or a group restriction.

Re: Looks like US citizens can travel to Cuba
I seriously doubt that Americans outnumber Canadians in visits to Cuba. About 1,000,000 Canadians visit Cuba each year. Officials figures for the US are about 100,000 with about another 350,000 Cuban Americans who are not counted in the official tourist figures. So that's about 450,000 visitors from the US each year. So you would have to have about 550,000 additional illegal US visitors each year to get anywhere near the number of Canadian visitors.

She was there as a bridesmaid for her best mate though, who wasn't an American, or living in the US.

Measures include allowing US citizens to use credit cards in Cuba and for US businesses to export some technologies.
Americans will be able to take home up to $100 (£66) in alcohol and tobacco from Cuba. Correspondents say it means the US ban on Cuban cigars is over.

While it still bans ordinary tourism, the new regulations will allow US citizens to travel to Cuba for any of a dozen specific reasons without first obtaining a special licence from the government.
