Is it just banned for locals or for all ?
I went to Cuba in 2000 - hitched around from the north to the south staying with locals and so on - fine country, fine people. Maybe have a look at some of the books by Sebastio Salgado before you go - "Workers" by him has some good photos of Cubans...
Politics aside - it is a fantastic county. If you go to Veradero type places you will miss Cuba in my opinion. The heart of the country is with the people.
