Going multiple times to Cuba
Does anyone knows if there is a problem from entering multiple times to Cuba. I mean like once every month?
Last time I went just for three day and when leaving the officer asked why stayed very few days? But it sound a little inquisitive.
2 great news stories on HIV and AIDS in Cuba
The NY Times had 2 amazing, very informative stories the history of HIV and AIDS in Cuba. The good, the bad and efforts that the revolution has made to stop it. We all know that Cuba is one of the countries with the lowest infection rate in the western hemisphere etc, but these 2 news stories are still very good, and I recommend that everybody here read them. I have attached the titles of the stories and links, hopefully the links will work. Happy readings.

Girlfriendly casas in Habana Vieja
I've been to Habana many times but never stayed at the beach. I thought I should try it out at least. So I will come to Cuba in three weeks (and for three weeks) and still haven't decided what I should do: Book the Tropicoco for a week and a casa in Habana Vieja, or a casa in Habana for the entire time?
Also: Can somebody recommend a girl-friendly casa for my sole use in Habana Vieja which features a window? Man, I truly hate these 'barbacoas' which have no view! Anyway, in case you are in the know your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Very Reliable Driver and Guide
I have a Cuban contact that I want to share as the guy is very reliable and I hope to help him find more work. He is a competent driver and can find anything you are looking for. He has constantly saved me money and helped me to find some very interesting adventures. He is completely trustworthy and I have seen him retrieve items that are lost when he could have taken them. You must be clear on what you need and want. It is also a requirement that you make sure an employer / employee relationship is created with payment and expectations clearly laid out.
He can be contacted at:
Luis Iznaga: 53-52914827.
Email: Against the rules to post.
Rumbo Jaimanitas, Cuidad de La Habana, Cuba.
He only speaks Spanish but I have a really good app on my Galaxy Nexus phone that allowed me to communicate everything I need so I did not have any problems with my limited Spanish. Please feel free to contact me for further references and questions.
