Trip to

[drew_goring]

I'm not down with the all-inclusive-anywhere-anytime But on one of your subsequent trips, if you want to head to Havana instead, I've got a few friends and people I can line you up with who will take good care of you! Or if you are heading there for a day trip I might be able to afford a bit of advice too. When I went for my first time, it was an all inclusive called the Brisa del Carib. Was probably a 3-4 star hotel. No problems there if that is one of your options.


Cuba's the best and if you've never been to a hot place, an all inclusive is the way too go. Great way to not get too much culture shock, hehe. The locals aren't allowed there at all so unfortunately you'll be getting to know employees and tourists only.

I'm super happy to hear you're finally going!!!


WOOT!!

Thanks dude. It is looking like most likely Varadero with a day trip into Cuba if I can.

Hmmm. Been dating this new girl for a month now. We are already planning a trip to Cuba Together. Let me know your dates and, well, you never know.... ;-)

Definitely do.

I haven't bought yet. I am going to just do a last minute deal all inclusive to Varadero. I am hoping to be able to find something decent for around 900 or so a person.

We are planning on leaving sometime between May 30 and June 3.

Drew, if you're willing to lay out that coin for a last minute, you'll do better than "decent".

I am hoping so. Seems like flying out of Calgary or Saskatoon the prices are 2-300 higher than flying out of Toronto. Still a great deal in my eyes though.

On that note... I have a friend heading down to Cuba for a similar vacation and was hoping to get them to bring me back a few boxes of cigars... they wouldn't be able to tell a legit cigar vs. a monkey's tail so i want to make it as easy as possible for them...

I gave them a list of potential cigars I am looking for and some prices that I looked up as being reasonable.... my suggestion was to pick up the cigars on their way back at the airport (which i heard is the most reliable)...

Any suggestions? Want to make sure they are legit and want to make sure I am not paying an unnecessary premium on the smokes....

Thanks
