In this photo taken Jan. 30, 2013, Amalia Reigosa, left, hugs her grandmother Blanca, in Havana, Cuba, while her niece Gabriela cries, before her trip to Milan, Italy. Reigosa was one of the first Cubans to take advantage of a travel reform that went into effect a year ago this week. The much-hated travel restriction was long justified as necessary to prevent brain drain as scientists, doctors, athletes and other skilled citizens were lured away from the Communist-run nation by the promise of capitalist riches.
