Need a job? What about Coyote to Cuba??
Since the embargo in 1959, letters and packages from the United States are not allowed to enter Cuba. There is however a way around this restriction. Just like Americans fly out of Canada or Mexico to go to Cuba, you can send items through a Canadian travel agency. How do they get this to happen? Well, people mail their package to this travel agency and you pay a certain fee according to what you are sending.
An unsuspecting couple in Montreal goes into this travel agency to buy a one-week all-inclusive holiday on the beach, because they just can't take this weather anymore. And the travel agent says, Hey, you can save 300$ on your vacation if you bring a suitcase down to Cuba for us.
So, you, the traveler, has to fit your clothes and stuff for the week in a carry-on bag so you can transport the luggage.
When you arrive at the airport, there are people waiting for you and they recognize the luggage you are carrying because they always use the same luggage.
If you transport the empty luggage back to Montreal, you get 10$ per bag...
Not a bad deal, if you're looking to save a buck.
And, it shows that the embargo is merely superficial and can easily be countered.... Wonder what will happen when Fidel's time is up??
