Vacation in Cuba

Went back in November. Yes u need a visa. They give you a bunch of reasons to pick why u are going, we used journalistic reason, ie we said we be travel bloggers. No one ever asked. They stamped our passports and reentry into the US they didn't care. Be advised the air quality is horrendous. we ate lobster every day for dinner and lunch. Airbnb is the way to go.

 

Go to Michaels around Hilcroft and 59. That's Cuba.

Thank me later.

 

Also be advised that if u plan on flying within Cuba your only option is air Cuba which is notorious for canceling flights daily and last minute.

 

The arts and crafts store?

 

Strip club. Lol.

Michaels international / Chicas locas.

Probably 98% of the 300 + girls there are Cuban.

 

Lmao...thats what I thought as well

 

I think @AroundTheWorld has been to Cuba.

 

Yes, in 2003. I went via Mexico. I didn't need a visa, because I am from Germany. It was really interesting. I listened to a live concert by Buena Vista Social Club in the Hotel Nacional in Havana, while drinking Mojitos. Good times.

 

I went in 2012, via Mexico City. Highly recommend it.

 

I would love to go. I hear the people are very nice. Problem is talking my wife into it.


She's not as adventurous as me and would happily stick to all inclusives and cruises.

 

Havanna cigars for you!

 

Cruises to Cuba are a possibility now, methinks.

 

Went in November....Flew out from FLL. Got the visa at the check in desk at the airport. I think it was $80.

 

im gonna go one day. true story. my mom is cuban and that side of my family escaped on a boat to miami florida before making it to texas. No one ever believes me because we all look completely white lol.

 

It's funny that most Americans think anyone from a Spanish speaking country should automatically have brown skin.

In Uruguay, for example, 88% of the population is of European descent and look like this:

 

I'm jealous--have fun and report back when and if you go. Take in as much music, food and culture as you can.
