    I went twice last year and I will be going twice this year.

    Do you honestly think that anyone reading your post is going to cancel or postpone a holiday to the USA simply because the government there have done something that you disagree with?

    The USA had close to 5 million tourist visits from the UK in 2016 (a number which has been increasing steadily over the years) so they must be doing something right.

    Thanks Ged, can't see it working, if you feel so passionately about it why not start a petition on change.org and put a link on Twitter/Facebook.

    What is the problem? Cuba is part of the American continent, and never did anyone any harm.

    I own a villa in Florida, so I hope people do not do what you want them to do.
    I speak to many Americans and try to educate them in world issues, most of the time this achieves nothing but it makes me feel better,

    Before you do Phatbear visit the little National Park at Cabrillo Point for great views over SD . Then stop off at Point Loma Seafoods for the best fish and chips in town.

    If we all based our travel decisions on the political values of the countries we visit very few of us would go very far.

    Don't worry, if Comrade Corbyn and his buddies get in very few of us will be able to afford to go abroad.
