Two years ago, on my first trip, I flew SJO-PTY-HAV-PTY-SJO on Copa. On the way to Cuba during my connection at PTY, the airline had a form for me to fill out stating my purpose for travel as a U.S. citizen. I went as a journalist.
Yeah, and now everybody that blogs thinks they can use that category.
It actually may open you up to having to apply to the Cuban government for a visa as a journalist, (rather than a simple tourist card for ....tourists) which brings additional scrutiny during the visa process and also when in Cuba.
