FILE - In this Dec. 19, 2014 file photo - A street entertainer waits for tourists in Old Havana, Cuba. The thawing of U.S.-Cuba relations has inspired many Cubans to think big. Visits by Americans were up 36 percent between January and early May of 2015 compared to the same period a year ago, and up 14 percent among all international arrivals. That surge is likely to continue as interest in the destination grows and it gets easier for Americans to travel there. (AP Photo/Desmond Boylan, File)

In this Sunday, May 24, 2015 photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, Abel Garcia, left, portraying Cuban President Raul Castro, and Buck McQuire, right, dressed as Fidel Castro, carry their Schooner Wharf Minimal Regatta entry to the water in Key West, Fla. The rules of the wacky Memorial Day Weekend event required each team to build a boat out of a single sheet of 4-by-8-foot plywood, two 8-foot-long two-by-fours, a roll of duct tape, a pound of fasteners and epoxy paint. The duo's "First Ferry to Cuba" entry was an offbeat salute to the recent easing of restrictions for Americans traveling to Cuba. (Rob O'Neal/Florida Keys News Bureau via AP)
