Castro is a vegetable after massive stroke. Probably at death's door.

I hope once this one is dead they'll open up Havana for U.S. travel. I want to visit that place before I croak too.

Castro says the rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Won't be long regardless of the stroke story, the dude is pretty old. I've been to Guantanamo Bay and that part of the island is great. A guy from work visited Havana last year and he said the poverty is unreal on that side of the mine field. Cuba could very well be a tourist gold mine for Cubans and the U.S. - I still don't understand why the embargo has been left in place so long, the Cold War and Soviet Union came and went but the Cubans were left behind. I think the politicians missed the boat on Cuba, given enough cooperation they could be a strong ally in South America and not an adversary.
