No myth, first hand experience. They went with friends with no tour and they were very thankful to get back to the United States. The people in Cuba are really suffering and they were thankful when my daughter and her husband left them with some shoes and food, no joke.Sounds like an urban myth to me. Tens of thousands of Canadians go to Cuba every winter & love it. Sometimes, people who travel but really should never leave home, come home with the strangest stories. Especially those who go on tours & never spend the time researching a country & planning their own trip. I heard stories that in Poland they use roubles for currency. Really! Stories from people on tours are usually really bad.
