How many of you have visited Cuba?

Though I have not visited Cuba, But have heard a lot and seen pictures on the internet. Would love to visit it!

I highly recommend it soon, because once the Americans flood the place, the ambiance will slowly disappear. It's a wonder to see 1950's American cars still in mint condition still plying their streets and highways. Their busses are from China, but are new and clean. When you visit Havana, visit the Nacional Hotel bar in the patio. It was my travel buddy and my favorite place to smoke a Cuban cigar and have a drink while watching the Malecon and sea. There's also a smoke room next to a good restaurant one block behind the Parque Central Hotel where you can meet people from all around the world. The lady there at the bar lit our cigar for us the proper way. If there's a guy standing at the corner behind Parque Central Hotel, his name is Billy. Say "hello" for us.
There's a right and wrong way to light and smoke a cigar. I know that sounds funny, but it's true. Visit the Partagas cigar factory behind El Capitolia (capitol building). Also, when you plan your trip to Cuba, change your US dollars to Canadian dollars or Euros. They get a better exchange rate because US dollars are discounted by 10% plus the fee. If you have any questions, I'll more than happy to try to answer them. I sure do miss Cuba. I even watch Cuba videos on the web. Makes me homesick for many of our favorite places and friends.

I would love to visit - I got my first taste of it when my former neighbor who worked for the Farrelly Brothers gave us the video of the documentary on Luis Tiant going back to Cuba. He filled us in on this trip as he went as well (he had to pose as a former baseball player in order for Cuba to allow him to go as well at the time).

Yeah those old cars in video were so cool.

I went to Cuba through Mexico City. I met my travel buddy there who lives in Loreto, Mexico. He’s originally from Canada, but now owns a realty company, and the we stay overnight. I have a friend who is the editor of the English newspaper in Mexico. He taught at the uni for ten years before that. On one of my trips, Francisco gave me a tour of Mexico City. We visited the museum donated by Carlos Slim, one of the richest in Mexico. Those are the kinds of experiences that are priceless. Travel has been a passion because of experiences like that.
