Havana

Now, there are two conveyor belts. What the airlines failed to mention is to check both conveyor belts for your bag. [/QUOTE]Haha. Thanks.

I'm checking a bag while flying to Havana next week You've likely saved me from some confusion at the airport!

Looking forward to part 2.

[QUOTE=BlackLexus;2061556]..... I bought a couple bottles of water which was a $1.00 CUC per bottle and a couple of bottles of Presidentes. Cristal was the local beer but I wasn't ready to try it yet. .....[/QUOTE]Nice report. Made me laugh though. When I land, Cristal is the FIRST thing I buy, before even getting on the bus or into a taxi!

Very good beer it is.

[QUOTE=Thunder01;2060462]Don't ask them. I just got back again from Cuba and hooked up with so many Cuban hottest and only one was a pro. All others I just saw on the street and invited back to my house for rym. Non stop sex, full GFE. It is easy, every woman in Cuba will hook up with you. They do not want to be seen as a prostitute but will always want something in teturn. Just invite them over for dinner or rum. I also have taken the mobile phone chargers you can get and give them that gift. That has worked great. Those cost over $100 there.[/QUOTE]I completely agree, it's so easy over there! Just returned also 2 weeks ago, girls all over, just loving the attention and company.

I am thinking about taking some dresses and perfume with me to Havana in a couple of weeks. What size dresses do I need to take? Any other suggestions on what to take?

[QUOTE=BlackLexus;2061980]Thanks Tallman. Please bear with me. Working two jobs is a ***** but I do have a lot more to write. Can you or anyone tell me how to post pics? I tried but I keep getting error messages saying the picture is too big.

Thanks for your help.

Lex.[/QUOTE]Yes to post photos they must be small, like about 300 pixels or whatever you call it, what I do is I downloaded a simple app and take my photo and it re-sizes them down to this size. Once you get the hang of it it goes fairly quick.

We would love to see some of your photos. Please!

TTM.

[QUOTE=Bdb013;2062181]I am thinking about taking some dresses and perfume with me to Havana in a couple of weeks. What size dresses do I need to take? Any other suggestions on what to take?[/QUOTE]Two years ago on my first trip I teamed up with a veteran Cuba monger, he has been visited all of Cuba for the past 12 or 14 years and travels twice a year, well each time he brings one suitcase full of inexpensive blouses, dresses, panties, two-piece bikini, perfumes and fashion accessories. He buys this stuff all whole sales at close-out auctions, like on ebay and let me tell you he trades with the girls, they love it. He showed me his whole operation, when the girl got back to our casa he would let them pick out some items.

For sizes it is mainly small / petite and medium (ie sizes 2, 4 and 6). Don't forget the fashion accessories, these are just as important as dresses for the girls, and these accessories do not cost much (ie $3 USD give or take each). Again he bought stuff by the lot on eBay and stored it in his garage until his next trip. Oh he also has connections in Cuba, boutique clothing stores that he sells these same item to which pays for all his travels 100%, I went with him a few sales trips.

Report back please.

TTM.

Under which OFAC category of travel did you put down to get into Cuba? I was thinking about using my Cuban friend who lives in Havana and say that she is my relative and I'm visiting her and her family (I'm Hispanic). Please help.

Thanks again Tallman on the instructions on resizing the photos. The pictures attached are of my first apartment. I really this one. I also included the pic of the beautiful owner. I wanted to take her home with me. She was so sweet and very appreciative when I gave her a Victoria Secret spray.

I was thinking about using my Cuban friend who lives in Havana and say that she is my relative and I'm visiting her and her family (I'm Hispanic). Please help.[/QUOTE]I was in Havana in February and going back in two weeks. I use "support for the Cuban people" In February and this trip, taking goodie bags of soap, shampoo, lotion and candy to give out to people. Also will take cloths and jewellery for the chicas. The "people to People" category seems to be the one where they are more strict. But someone else may know better than I. I'm not sure if they will ask for proof of visiting a relative or not. In my case, if they do, I show them the stuff I am bringing to help the Cuban people.

So I took one of the old cars to Sofia restaurant. The driver told me it will cost me 10 CUC. When we arrived I asked if he change for a 20 CUC. He said yes and handed me 10 but at that time I didn't know he gave me 10 CUP. I went into Sofia's restaurant. At first I'm saying to myself where is the club because people were talking about listening to music but the only music I heard was from the live band. I was hungry so I order grilled chicken and rice and salad. Which is my favorite plus you can't mess up chicken LOL After I finish eating I asked the waitress about the club. She said it's downstairs but its closed. Later I figured out that Sofia's restaurant is like ground zero where the chicks who are working are walking up and down the street past Sofia's. I heard about Tokoa's so I walked over which is like 10 feet away. I went downstairs and paid 5 CUC. No one was there. It's like 11 pm. Just me and the bartender. So I order a cristal beer. Not bad but I went to pay the girl with the 10 that the driver gave me and she said this is no good. I was like what you talking about Willis?? She explained that I had 10 CUP which is like 40 cents not 10 CUC. I'm like that bendejo! He got me for 10 dollars basically. After I paid for my beer. I started thinking back from earlier in the day. When I went to get water and beer. I was walking back to my apartment and I was hungry. There was a sandwich shop on the way. Now the prices on the board said 10 for a big sandwich and 5 for a small sandwich. I wanted a small sandwich because I didn't know how it will taste. I handed the girl a 5 CUC and I ask for a water. Which was 1 CUC. So I give her a coin. At this time the girl is smiling at me like a Cheshire cat or the cat that swallowed the canary. I'm like what is this girls problem but I didn't think nothing of it. NOW. I know why. She beat me for 5 CUC. I was suppose to have gave her 5 CUP which is like 20 cents. Damn that bendeja! You live and you learn. I will post the picture of the two currencies so you won't make that mistake.

After receiving the hard knock life lesson. I decided to go to St Johns which is right around the corner from Sofia's restaurant. If you are leaving Tokoa's. You turn right go to corner where Sofia's is. Then turn right and you will see St John's on the right hand side. There is usually a guy outside yelling discoteca. Paid the 5 CUC and then you take an elevator to the 14th floor (top floor). Here's where I make another rookie mistake. When you get off the elevator you make a right. The bathrooms are straight ahead. In this area people usually smoke near the bathrooms. You make another turn to the right and there are some stairs. As I was going up there was a chica on the stairs that said Hi to me. She was OK looking. She ask me my name and where I am from. I told her and she follows me upstairs. I'm saying to myself here we go. I order a beer and the chica that said Hi was sitting at a table with a cuter friend. She calls me over to sit with her. (Pause) This is where you say no thank you and keep it moving but no my dumb ass said yes and sat with them. Her and her friend knew some English. So with my elementary Spanish and their broken English we were able to communicate. I order drinks for them both. Now at this time is still early about 11:30 and there was a group performing dancing and acrobats. They were pretty good. The show lasted until Midnight. Meanwhile, I'm being entertained by the chica. We are laughing and she is giving me few kisses here and there. She steps away to use the bathroom and I was talking to the cuter friend. This is where I should have said your friend is OK but I really like you but I didn't. As the show ended chicas started pouring in. I mean some really cute chicas. I'm just getting myself in the ass because I spent some time with the chica. The club really gets going after the performance is over. They play hip hop, raggaeton and salsa. After dancing for a few. The girls ask can she leave with me? I wanted her to stay over night so we made a deal and off we went.

Now, this is where the cat mouse games begins. This particular time it wasn't that hard. We walked across the street and one of cars had tinted windows. At this time I couldn't remember the name of my street but I knew I was about 2 blocks from the capitol. Just get me to the capitol and I know the rest of the way. So we made it back to my apartment and we go upstairs. We go into my bedroom and I was looking for something in my luggage and she notice the Victoria Secret stuff and she goes crazy and start grabbing for one of the lotions. I was like whoaaa wait a minute. I told her in Spanish if she gives me good service then she can have it. She starts to strip and get into the bed. I go to the bathroom to freshen up and brush my teeth. I always ask the chica when was the last time they had a massage. Either answer long time or never. So I always ask if its ok to massage them. This is my way of checking out the goods naked. After I finish massaging her I start kissing her stomach and working my way to nipples and then start kissing her. Then I lay down so she can give me blow job. Her skills was OK. Then I made her get on top and then we change position and I finished from the back. When we were done she starts to get dressed. I said to her wait I thought you was staying to the morning. Once again another rookie mistake and I didn't negotiate if she didn't hold up her end of bargain she would get less. I was going to put up a stink but being in Cuba for the first and my first night. I didn't want any problems. She is talking about having to take care of her baby and blah blah blah. So I told her no she is not getting VS gift and then she wanted my deodorant. She lucky I had a extra one. So I gave it to you. Then the bendeja. Had the nerve to ask for money for Taxi. I must have gave her the look like be. Please. So she start saying disculpe disculpe. Which is sorry in Spanish. I just showed her the door. I usually ask for a pic but I so mad I just said f. It and went to bed.

Good shit bro, they got me also with the money switch my first trip, just call it the Cuban initiation LOL. You did the tour me and Grownman have been doing the last couple years, bravo. FYI, you set the rates with the old car taxis, tell them what you want to pay and either they take it or leave it. They are bullies with their tight shirts with a few muscles trying to intimidate tourists, stand firm. I've had my share of run ins with these guys I will describe after you finish your great reporting. You need to follow your alter ego more but I love your honesty in admitting your faults.

Thanks.

Has any Americans on this board traveled to Cuba since Trump said he will implement restrictions on American traveling there? Anyone know when the new restrictions will be put in place?

Showdown.

Showdown.[/QUOTE]New regs don't come into effect until the agency writes them and puts them through the normal adoption process, including a comment period. Months at least. Haven't heard any news that they've even begun yet. I get the feeling that no one really wants this to happen except the hardliners in Miami.

I booked my trip before the rule change was announced and am grandfathered into the old process. I don't know if someone booking a trip today will be subjected to extra scrutiny later, but my amateur opinion is that they won't.

Showdown.[/QUOTE]As far as I can tell there's not going to be any real changes, mostly just political hot air for the Cubans in Miami.

Just check one of the 12 categories and you're good to go.

Was wondering what cell phone do you guys see girls use in Cuba and I saw someone say about bringing extra chargers. Would that be like portable chargers or just cable wire and piece to plug in.

I have like old iPhones that's why I ask. If I bring old iPhones to Dominican Republic, those women would laugh, Dominicans ask for iPhone 9 LOL.
