Hey Rubio, good luck trying to put this genie back in the bottle.
TravelZoo email pops up with subject line reading "Visit Cuba in 2015 Before the Crowds; Deals up to $2900 Off"
BOSTON--DECEMBER 18, 2014-- To celebrate yesterday’s historic diplomacy between the U.S. and Cuba, Discovery Tours by Gate 1 has dropped prices on its eight-night Cuba package to $3309 per person, including taxes.
A small number of companies hold "people-to-people licenses" issued by the U.S. government, to legally bring travelers from the States for education-based trips, making now possibly one of the last times to visit before the crowds descend.
This deal saves up to $2900 per person on competing packages and includes:
• Roundtrip airfare (Boston to/from Miami; Miami to/from Cuba)
• English-speaking guide throughout
• Eight nights accommodations (one in Miami, three in Cienfuegos, four in Havana)
• Visa to Cuba
• Dinner with musical performance at Casa Espanola in Havana
• Hands-on cooking class taught by a Cuban chef
• Visit to author Ernest Hemingway's Cuban home, library and yacht
• Evening performance by the Cienfuegos Orchestra
• Visit to colonial Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
• Spring departures: April 30; May 14, 28
With the new changes, visitors now will also be able to return home with $400 in goods, including $100 in Cuba’s famous cigars.

Discovery Tours invites you to Cuba, on an educational exchange. Each day, we emphasize people-to-people exchange during stays in two major cultural centers: Cienfuegos and Havana. The thrill of our small group itinerary is in meeting those who shape today's Cuba and have been shaped by the country's past. During visits to cultural venues, you'll join two or three other travelers for private talks with an artist, musical performer, or other locals. It's the warmest welcome you can imagine, from a country you'll never forget.
Important Note: The OFAC requires that travelers to Cuba keep a travel journal during their visit. This will serve as documentation that, under the requirements of the OFAC, you have visited Cuba for educational purposes. We recommend you keep your journal on file for five years, in case a U.S. official asks for proof of the educational nature of your journey.
