I've been to Cuba! It's quite lovely. And yes, it's also cheap. And in terms of being "poor" that's true, but if you have ever traveled extensively you would realize that most of Latin America is no better off.
I'd go if I could but the restrictions haven't been relaxed enough...I don't have any Cubans in my immediate household.
