Traveling to Cuba today requires a knowledge of the law, and some strategies for getting the most out of your trip. Podcaster Chris Christensen of the Amateur Traveler podcast just recently returned from this storied island nation, and discussed some of the elements of a trip there, including:

• Why United States citizens have to find non-hotel accommodations
• How issues with the power grid will impact travel
• Why farm visits are so intriguing in Cuba (especially for cigar fans)
• How the beach scene differs in Cuba from other destinations
• Some of the top sights and experiences in Havana and Trinidad
