This is really BIG and GREAT news for US Citizens!
President Obama will announce today that the US seeks to normalize relations with Cuba. Shortly, Religious and Education institutions will be able to lead tours to Cuba without any approval from the government. All Intl. U.S. airports are able to have flights to Cuba. Restrictions on the remittance of currency and credit/debit transactions will be relaxed.
This is great news. Now is the best time to go to Cuba, because its still partially under embargo (preserving culture) but now should be more accessible to Americans, without having to go with one of those expensive tours or risk losing Global Entry sneaking into the country (Huge HORROR!)
I'll be posting this link, but news should be changing rapidly throughout the day.
