I wasn't sure where to ask this so I'm hoping this is the right place. My fellow terbites have never failed me over the years when it comes to the local scene so I thought that I'd ask a question about something a little farther from home...

A buddy and I are planning a trip to Cuba this winter for some extra-curricular activities. I've heard some great stories but I've never been.

Has anyone here been to Cuba? I've heard that there is some good hobbying to be done down there but I don't know where to start. I'm assuming that I can't do this through my regular travel agent. ;-)

Any advice?
 
you don't have to do anything, it will come to you.
 
too funny...

In case you're wondering... I do know how to use the search tool... I was just looking for something recent...

But I'm still reading through them so maybe I'll find more info soon.
 
some resorts have a no locals policy to curb the rent a date industry, you may need to hit a public beach if this is your case. But if your a couple of single guys, (and not hanging off each other like a couple of ...) you will be approached and offered a date. Its your move after that. Remember, the hotel conciarge is your best friend just in case you need a referral.
 
Have you read my posts? PM me if you need anything else.
 
Thanks Roger... your handle came up more than once on the topic... I'm still trying to read over everything but I'll definately take you up on the PM when I consider myself a bit more educated on the topic.

I'll come back and share the results with everyone in the end. :)
 
Seriously read worldsexguide and be careful and prudent in Cuba, there are some all to real horror stories.
 
I've been almost everywhere in Cuba. It's a paradise for a single guy. If you're there to hobby, stay away from Veradero. Otherwise Cuba is the single guy's Disneyland.
 
Havana, rent a casa particular. Cuba's version of a bed and breakfest $20-50 a night! Then hit the clubs, its a mans candy store!

Hi guys, well we have been here for almost two weeks now so here's all the local news....

The weather has been beautiful every single day, getting a nice tan!

I have not seen or heard any mention of conjunctivitis here at the hotel, although it is still going on in the local area.

The so-called "jinetera" problem has been stopped as of yesterday. From today on, any Cuban and tourist staying together in a room have to provide proof of marriage.

This is causing problems for some people who got married in the last few days as they have not yet received their documentation and their honeymoons are being ruined.

I was in Cuba last year when the government relaxed the laws and allowed Cubans into the hotels. However, it seems many tourist families have complained to the resorts about older guys with younger girls groping and sexing up at the pools or public areas. This has apparently brought a reversal to some degree of the Cubans in hotels with tourists.



Also, in some areas, the locals are still afraid of being seen with tourists as they face jail time if caught with foreigners. It all becomes a little clandestine and the local girls are rightfully scared.
 
Costa Rica is lots of run to and if they are clamping down on the hobby in Cuba, Costa Rica may be a better choice.
