Travel

If you want to go to Cuba, you can't just go online and book a trip. Well, actually for a while, you could do it on Travelocity — only it wasn't legal. The travel website just paid $180,000 in fines to the U.S. government for violating the 45-year-old embargo against Cuba. It booked almost 1,500 trips to the island between 1998 and 2004. Travelocity is the first online travel company to get in trouble over this. A spokesman said the trips went through because of "technical failures."
