Havana

[Bart1]

RTFF. Most all your answers are in the last 10-20 pages of this thread and others re Cuba.

Why is it that so many newbies know how to ask questions but do not know how to read?

Anyone who has traveled to Southeast Asia knows the Japanese and Koreans throw WAY MORE money around than us Americans!

Overpaying is bad but does not necessarily lead to poor service. What I mean by spoiling is having a bad attitude towards the chicas generally. An example is having sex with them and not paying on a notion that their attitude is bad. If you have sex with a chica you must pay.

Hi all,

I will be going to Cuba for first time this February. Few Days in Varadero and few days in Havana. Does anyone have any info on the following:

- Where to meet chicas in Varadero and if the resorts allow us to bring guests in to our rooms at the resorts (info on non or semi-pros would be preferred but will accept any intel for.

Pros as well).

- Where are good places to meet local chicas in Havana (again prefer non or semi-pro but would like info on pros as well).

- Is the University in Havana a good place to meet chicas and are they receptive to meeting foreigners and going out on dates.

- Will hotels allow us to bring guests into our Hotel rooms without any troubles.

- Where would be a good place to rent a car and what should I expect to pay..

I must reiterate what you seek is right here on this thread. Take an hour or 2 and read it dude.

I've never stayed in Varadero, so I can't help you on that front.

I'll help you out with this though, I have a driver I use every time I go to Havana. He's very honest, speaks English, reasonable priced and has a 1950's Ford Fairlane. It'll cost you about $50 CUC for 4-5 hours. He'll drive you everywhere you want to go and wait for you at every destination.

Here's his contact info:

Name: Amado.

Cell: 011.535. 292.8212 (when in Cuba you only have to dial the following 5. 292.8212).

- Any recommendations for hiring a taxi and driver for a day or 2 and what would the daily cost be.

- Any other tips on what to do or see in Havana.

- Staying in Vedado for 2 days and thinking of going to Miramar area for 2 day as well (is one area better for meeting chicas then another).

- What should a reasonable cost for chicas be so I do not over pay.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The flood gates will open soon. I purchased my airline ticket online already directly while still in the USA. It won't be long now.

From my observations, it will be one year before the USA Airlines start flying into Cuba.

I admit that I may have caused some mongers to be a little hurt regarding my statement at the beginning of this discussion but no one has yet proved me wrong. Look at Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Tijuana, Panama. Hell, look at the good ole USA. I applaud all you guys who have game in these destinations but is my statement that Americans have spoilt these destinations correct or not? If not why do you say so?

I've been getting many PMs asking what I'm talking about. United airlines just made the first move by announcing direct flights in the future to Cuba from New Jersey and Houston. Now this will open up the floodgates of airlines competing for slots. American / Usair have Miami airport on lock down and will cater to the South Florida Cubans demands for frequent flights. Tampa has Cayman airways that already has slots in Cuba. La, Ny, and a few other cities will compete for the remainder. Money talks in these deals.

The flood gates will open soon. I purchased my airline ticket online already directly while still in the USA. It won't be long now. Of course for travel this week I still need to fly from Mexico. But it will all change very soon. Then the prices will go up. For everything. Especially PinkSnapper!!

Spring Break in Cuba!

Overnight bachelor party cruise ships to Havana from Miami!

Do you have bagels?

Its all over gentleman. The disco jineteras and their pimps will have a field day with the ostentatious drunken American tourist.

Cubans adapt very quickly to changing market environments and will thrive for the first 2 years then the party will end for the Cubans once the Americans learn the game.

I have visited Cuba 9 times in the last 11 years and have witnessed many changes and yes I am an American.

One door closes another opens.

Was thinking of going to Havana during Semana Santa this April and wanted to know if anybody had been there during this week in past years? If so does the holiday affect the amount or quality of chicas around? Are many places closed? Would appreciate any info.

I used Nash travel and they are okay but just wait 60 days. I can't explain too much without everyone over-reacting but having to sneak into Cuba in the future won't be needed. The key is to develop a game plan now.

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, this is my first post as well as my first day on this site. I am from the USA And have some time off beginning this weekend, and I would like to go to Havana for a week or so. I am having some difficulty finding a travel agency that will actually get back to me promptly, so far I have also tried two in Canada, it seems we talk on the phone one day or email, then you can't get a hold of them. Can any travel agent in Canada help me? As so far I just Googled "Cuba travel" and picked some that came up.

Thank you

You don't get it bro. If you say you are getting freebies in Sosua with all those Americans present but the very next day say Americans will prevent you from getting girls, that's a contradiction.

[El Cubanito]

But why? You got game.

Is that what game is called these days? Throwing money at chicks to get them to open their legs? Wow, I must have mist something.
