fixed :)

p.s. if you go to a poor poor country (even mexico) you have to be proactive about personal and property safety.

Answered above.

Nobody told me. It's easy for people who've never left the US to predict that this would have happened, but as mentioned I've visited lots of countries and never had any commie pigs lift my stuff!
why don't you take an anniversary trip to south africa? or hell, how about a trip to Iraq?
This is not yugoslavia; many people visit cuba on a frequent basis. It's a big spot for canadians, and none of the communist sympathizers warned me :(
Reminds me of the thread about the guy who honeymooned in the Dominican Republic and they both got deathly ill from something they ate and spent thousands on horrific hospital care. I think he said the same thing.....it was cheap.
Yeah I hear about people getting sick from mexico and I'm like "serves you right, sucker!", so I expect the same attitude here ;)
You are going to a foreign country. You obey their rules, respect their political system, their leaders and their way of life. It is THEIR country. How can this be misunderstood?
I think you meant to post that on another thread, unless you're implying that it's legal for airport screeners to remove foreigner's possessions from their baggage.
It happened ages ago and you feel this sudden urge to announce it now? Even your in-laws' experience seems to have no date attached to it. Is this another so-called Skoorb effect?
Yes, skoorb effect because you didn't read the response I gave to this exact same concern above in the thread...the part where I bolded the word recently. BTW the story is true. If I was going to sensationalize I would do a much better job, trust me :)
What's taken to Cuba , STAYS in Cuba
I capitulate. I'm sure that this sort of thing would happen in any third world country. It's not just that I hate communists... I guess I hate people from poor countries.

Damn man feel bad for you but the thing is ppl resort to stealing from foreigners to get stuff they can't have on the island.I know cause I lived in Cuba for 15 years before coming to the states.Not all ppl but alot do it's easier to steal oakleys from some Italian on the beach then ever having a chance to own one in Cuba.
