American's have always been allowed to travel and vacation in Cuba. Its just that it was made to be such pain in the butt to make travel arrangments, most never bothered. We frequently ran across U.S. travelers on boats coming back from Cuba which was not against any U.S. law. What was against the law was if they had any merchandise purchased in Cuba aboard. Then we dropped the hammer on'em pretty hard.
And yes, they are nice people. I even met one of Cuba's boxing champs. He was on an inner tube trying to make it to the U.S. Towering powerful man when I first looked upon him I thought oh crap. But he just smiled and gave me a hug he was so happy to be picked up by us.
