Visiting Cuba

Anyone can visit, at anytime. But before you can buy a plane ticket, Henry needs to fill out an authorization form for your visit. Specific travel dates are required. So if you are interested in visiting, let us know your visiting dates and Henry can initiate the paperwork. Anticipate several weeks or months for the authorization.
