What's the attraction? Do they have things there that you don't already find in other Caribbean countries?

For a period of 22 years, sitting presidents were in foreign countries for a total of 7 trips (+2 trips while president elect). Two trips to Panama (+ one as POTUS elect), 1 to Mexico, 1 to Canada, 2 to Europe, and 1 to Cuba.

  1. Nov 14–17, 1906 Panama Colón : Theodore Roosevelt
  2. Jan 29 – Feb 7, 1909 Panama Colón: William Howard Taft
  3. Oct 16 1909 Mexico Ciudad Juarez: William Howard Taft
  4. Dec 24 1918 - Feb 24 1919 Europe: Woodrow Wilson
  5. Mar 14 1919 –Jun 18 1919 Europe: Woodrow Wilson
  6. Jul 26 1923 Canada Vancouver: Warren G. Harding
  7. Jan 15–17 1928 Cuba Havana: Calvin Coolidge

I created a Wikipedia article 08:39, 23 January 2009‎ to keep track of international trips of the POTUS

Impressive, must have taken you weeks to
complete.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

None of those three makes me want to go to Cuba. Maybe it's time to watch "The Godfather II" again...

Consumption, probably. And all the pre-50 Chevy's you can handle

With relaxed trade restrictions, there may be great opportunities for mechanics who have experience with Sonics and Fiestas (or Honda Civics)... just spitballin here
