What a pain: is the only real purpose of those regulations to scare US citizens out of traveling to Cuba, then?

An excellent and accurate summation!

For the owners of Avianca to transfer their company to the US in order to stop flights to Cuba, that would be pretty convoluted. Why not just stop ?

Country forums South-East Asia Islands & Peninsula Philippines Which island to skip? And transport during holidays #1

I'm planning on a trip to Philippines for 3 weeks at the end of the year. I have a few questions regarding my itinerary:

1) How limited is transportation on Christmas Day and New Year's Day?
2) So far, I have on my list Coron, El Nido, Malapascua, Bolhol, Moalboal, and Boracay. It seems rather busy for 3 weeks.. If I need to skip one of the above, which one would you suggest? I'm in my mid-40s, avid scuba-diver but don't have the budget to dive more than a few times on this trip, love hiking but can't do long strenuous treks anymore due to a knee injury, LOVE a beautiful beach too but can only lie on it for a day before I get bored, LOL! Too old to party, hehe. Interested in local culture but not into "culture shows for tourists", if you know what I mean.

Please advise! Thank you!
