Travel Questions and Advice

[Velasco]

Hello dear people,

Planning my first trip Cuba at the beginning of August. I don't know that part of the world yet!

I just don't know if it is possible to enjoy our hobby without knowing any word in Spanish?

I don't have any clue what to see and how to get in contact without comunication. Are there any safe clean place to stay and bring a girl in?

Any guide in havanna, who can help me with the first steps?

Thanks for your help in advance

Hey man, you have come to the right place. Just read as much of this forum as you can, makes lots of mental notes and have fun in Cuba. Yes, everything is possible even if you don't know Spanish.

You will meet a beautiful Guajira, full of innocence and passion. She will make love to you all night in her simple bohio (mud hut) , and you will fall asleep in her arms with the words to the song "Guantanamera" running through your mind. You will awaken to the sounds of your Guajira singing Buena Vista Social Club songs and the smell of fresh brewed cafe con leche. She will then make passionate love to you again, leaving you thinking that you must be the luckiest man in the world. That is the experience of 99% of us who go to Cuba. I hope yours is the same, just be sure to come back and tell us.

I have never been there but my Cuban friend tells me there are amny people wjth birth defects due to exposure to the nckel mine in Moa. Don't know if you like girls with 3 tits.

I am a "try- sexual " and an equal opportunity monger so no worries there.

I have never been to Moa, but I have spent quite some time in Baracoa. A few things I think. One, just because there are practically no reports here does not mean there is no action. I have read reports elsewhere of random travellers who said that Moa was filled with foreign men working for that Canadian company, Sherritt. Given that most of the employees are men, and their families are not in Cuba, by default there has to be a way for them to release some steam.

There are plenty of tips here on how to hook up with Cubanas in small towns, it is a different set of challenges compared to Havana / Santiago so take some time to read up. Actually, you don't. I just looked up your posting experience and you have plenty in Cuba. If all fails, Baracoa is just down the road. Good luck!

Thanks Velasco

Decided to head towards Cuba again for some weeks. Looking for casa particulares with independent entry / total privacy, any tips (not only Havana)?

Will compile a list and send by PM.

The non pro action is almost non existent on SXM. However, it is loaded with Colombianas, DR girls and few high priced Europeans in the strip clubs.

Good to know. I've noticed that there are relatively cheap and direct flights from Paris. I've also browsed the SXM-related thread and was a bit put off when someone mentioned (was it you?) an unspecified number of ships docking there and consequently somewhat tainting the 'pool' of girls. Also, what I like about Cuba is the non-pro (to some extent) vibe that you can get even in the most extreme cases. I mean, everybody knows that you can find only pros at Salon Rojo but, even there, you approach the girls in a bar and not a strip joint. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, personally, I prefer to keep some appearances up.

But then again some other member mentioned several times that he had a GFE experience when he took the girls for 24 hours so: is it better to find a pro who gives you a pro-like attitude and services in a non-pro setting or a girl with limited experience that lets her hair down who you happened to pick up in a strip club? Obviously the latter. Let's just say my experience in Cuba has alllowed me to avoid quite easily the former!

I guess in the end that it's the closest you can come to having Colombian chicks in a paradise setting without all the hassle and concerns (and sometimes the benefits) of Colombia itself.

In any case, thanks a lot Vitrea for making this spot known to me and other fellow Cuba-addicted members. Cheers!

P. S. I might PM you at a later time to get some first-hand tips.

Vitrea, how so?

Are you talking about pay or non-pros occasionally doubling?

Go to Saint Martin. Best island destination for Latinas.

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of planning a trip to La Havana that would take place somewhere in June. (By the way, this would be my third time in Cuba and I have no problems speaking spanish. Also I'm in my late twenties)

Anyone has plans to be there during that period? It would be great to meet someone while there and hang out for a while.

P. S. The reason for my plans' vagueness comes from the fact that I still have to figure out a couple of details at work. Let's just say that, generally speaking, my schedule is quite flexible and open.

Hello guys,

Know Cuba very well but think about spending some time in DR or another island this year.

What in your opinion is the best Caribbean island to have some nice vacation (girls included)?

I'm not looking for AI hotels, I prefer to stay with the locals so Cuba was my first choice regarding security. Which may be different e. G. In DR.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Hotzo

I went to Cuba when it was not opened up to Americans like now, about 10 years ago. If you go legally through the authorised agencies now, you do not have to worry about any stamps.

When I went, I went through Mexico. A Mexican travel agent arranged the package deal that included the cuban visa and health insurance. I cannot recall if the MX agent stamped my passport in Tijuana. The plane went from Tijuana to Cancun MX. Then it was an international flight to Cuba, Havana. On arrival in Cuba, the immigration did NOT stamp my passport.

Neither was it stamped on Departure from from Cuba. Cannot recall if my passport was stamped on arrival in Mexico. I do not thing so. They just looked at it and that's that. Same on arrival in Tijuana. No one touched my passport. Crossing the border into USA from Tijuana, I just used my CA driver's licence. No problems. Nowadays, I use my passport for crossing back into USA from MX and they never look deep into passport even though I have travelled to a lot of countries. There is nothing to worry about.

This is all very absurd is it not? A "free" country disallowing its "free" citizens to freely travel. Look, what do we know? 1. Cuba does not stamp the passport of an American citizen (nor others too, but it is the "free" American we are speaking of yes?) .2. The in-transit stamp one receives from Nassau or Mexico, or DR or any other nation begs the question upon re-entry into the USA, to wit, where the fuck were you. I'll digress on this point for a moment. On my first trip to Cuba with a friend of mine (his first trip too) upon re-entry he lied, said he was in the hills of Nassau, he did not realize he had an in-transit stamp from Nassau. The agent laughed and said "you were in Cuba right?" My friend admitted it and all was good and happy thereafter. I had a license to travel so all was good with me. This was the era of the paper license that was required for all legal travel to Cuba. Much has changed since.

Today, there are two forms of travel licenses, one is a specific license akin to the old rule wherein you actually obtain a paper license to travel. The other is a general license wherein you essentially self-certify that your travel is legal (e. g., you have family residing in Cuba, as do I). My experience, the agents have no idea what current law is. Their general impression is that all travel to Cuba, absent a specific license is illegal. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

I have read the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to these folks and although frustrated, they admitted I was correct.

Many Americans travel legally and "illegally" daily. So long as you do not engage in any business or investment in Cuba, and so long as you keep the rum and cigars in Cuba, there is no issue in telling the border agents that you were indeed in Cuba. Upon my understanding, the USA Govt. Has never fined a USA Citizen for mere travel to Cuba. There is always something more to the travel that draws legal action (e. g., attorney in Southern District of NY traveled with American client with the intention of investing in hotels in Cuba, criminally charged).

The restriction on travel to Cuba, however is not a technical travel restriction, it is the restriction on the expenditure of American currency in Cuba (that is why Cuba travel is covered under the U.S. Treasury Dept.), nothing more, nothing less. Hence, if your travels to Cuba were sponsored by Cuba, or a Canadian friend, then your travels are technically legal. But as I said before, this is all politics and smoke screens designed to convince the American traveler that he is indeed not free. You are free! I repeat you are FREE FREE FREE. Wake the fuck up damn it.

In any case, upon your entry, just say you have a child in Cuba, the burden is not on you to prove that, and I am certain Fidel is not going to share Cuban birth records with the State Department.

One of my friends bought me this t-shirt for my next trip to Cuba. He said its Jinitero proof.

It comes in white too.
