For the USA Cuba is a fresh market just 90 miles off is SE shore. Cuba is "virgin", its infrastructure, is in need of work and there are no McDonald's (save Guantanamo). For the Cubans, its product at better value. Money will be flowing back and forth, some of which will work its way down to the "average" Cuban, but what will likely result is further class distinction within Cuba. Unless, however, the Cubans, can hold on to their socialist ideals. I for one, hope they do. But my god the pressure that will be brought upon them by the day trippers from Miami. That's going to put a test to their cubanism. For those of you that cling to the fact that, "well its not yet wide open", dream on. Its as good as wide open. Why in hell do you think the Cubans built the largest port in Havana over the past couple of years? Because the plan was set in place long before yesterdays speeches. All and all, I am happy for both the Cuban and America people, what a stupid little argument between neighbors.

From the New York Times today:
"Treasury and Commerce Department officials are moving quickly to tear down regulatory barriers to Americans' ability to travel, conduct financial dealings and export products to Cuba, officials said. The Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department will scrap a measure that requires people who are already eligible for travel to Cuba to receive special permission from the government for trips such as those involving family visits, professional, religious or cultural programs and humanitarian projects. New rules will also make it easier to get there, by allowing the direct purchase of airline tickets to Cuba rather than requiring travelers to go through a travel agent and charter a flight. The Treasury Department is also quadrupling the amount of money that can be sent to Cubans each quarter, to $2,000 from $500, and is loosening banking restrictions. "
This means that pretty soon, there will be loads of Americans and their dollars flooding Cuba. My guess is the cost of mongering will go up quickly.

I called Cayman airways and it has already gone up on the ticket prices. I turn on the television this morning and I see American news teams reporting from the malecon. All charters for the families are sold out. Damn! My baby has lost her virginity. I'm glad I've been going for the last few years because those memories will always be my best of Cuba. Let's see if the casa particulars start to increase their prices next along with the girls.
If the US lifts the embargo why wouldn't prices go down on the chicas. Because if the girls are allowed to be seen with tourists it will level off sought of like of the DR prices. Nobody is going to pay 100 us to these girls. In the DR the europeans are tightwads and the americans know the price. Last time I was in DR I was paying like 35 to 45 dolllars. Nobody would pay more.

It's like you said " the euro guys are tighwads" and that's all that's in Cuba. Once the Americans come with their free spending ways, prices will go up. Please don't have people think 35-40 is the norm in Sosua because that takes good negotiating. Most girls in Sosua are starting prices at 3000 p and if you really want her most guys pay that.
The Cubanas are smarter than the DR girls. They aren't as lazy as the DR girls. They are just as pretty as the DR girls. They also fuck better than the DR girls. You don't think eventually this will cost a premium?
If the flood gates open too fast you can see a bidding war as these Cubanas could become the hottest out now.
When I started in the DR in 2007 the girls had no price. They wanted a boyfriend and future western union relationship and most succeeded. They would stay with you your whole trip and you would have to pay them to leave. They were proud to have a gringo boyfriend. Now it's 1500-3000 pesos for a couple hours, so the price in the DR has gone up with the arrival of the Americans.
