What all is included in an "all expenses paid" vacation to Cuba?
I mean, if you have moral obligations going to North Korea, Cuba's not much better. Yes, you can pay to stay at a casa particular and pay for meals, but the hardship that the Cuban government puts on their citizens is still prevalent and your money largely will still go to the Cuban government.
I meant all inclusive sorry (I think I had TPIR, wheel, etc lingo stuck in my head for some reason). plane ticket, all meals, all drinks, room and full access to most facilities on the resort. Most also include a couple free meals at the fancier restaurants at the resort. Things you may need to pay for are scuba lessons, massage, boat tours, etc. Oh and internet access is just ridiculously priced since computers are mostly unheard of in Cuba as they are banned to citizens.
And I was more referencing the comparison in ease of entry to tourists into Cuba vs. North Korea, not anything else.
I haven't been there since the last time the Israelis bombed the shit out of it, but Beirut's pretty cool, if peeps be looking for places where they feel like they're being extreme just by daring to walk the streets.
Just pretend you're actually in Tehran (it helps if you can't tell the difference between Arabic and Farsi).
man forget cuba or nk, if you have the cash and want to see things that are extreme and few people in the world see, try to get a trip down to antarctica
seriously
shit is epic
those ice shelves ain't gonna stick around forever either

Or he could go to Tehran. :P
...I can't pin it down, but I get the vague impression that the OP would like to sit around and drink in presense of a sense of danger, the same sensation one gets sneaking a flask into the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land or attending a well-produced murder mystery dinner. Otherwise I'd simply suggest he get a TEFL certificate and teach English somewhere off the beaten path.
While I am not currently sure if it can still happen, you could probably just fly to the Cayman Islands and then fly over to Cuba for a bit then back to the Caymans and return to the US whenever.
My Uncle and Cousin did this, maybe two years ago? Granted they were staying on Grand Cayman and just sorta decided to go visit Cuba during their trip, so they just went. The story they tell made no mention of any legal issues and they both traveled on US passports.
