A Cuba Vacation

A Cuba Vacation by Suzanne Morrison Taking time out from the everyday stresses and strains of life to visit an exotic place is something that everyone looks forward to. Cuba , with its notoriety brought upon by its government and the clamp down of the American government on its export and tourism, is a country known more for its cigar and its leader, rather than as a vacation destination. Despite this, every year more and more tourists from Canada and Europe are flocking to Cuba, enthralled by its natural beauty and its passionate and welcoming people. Tourism in Cuba is currently at an all time high. Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean islands and is inhabited by people with a mixed race of Caribbean Indian, African and Spanish heritage. It has a contrasting landscape ranging from beautiful and mesmerizing beaches to sprawling and craggy mountain ranges. Limestone Mountains loom over the fields of tobacco, utilised for their famed cigars, providing a stunning scenic view. The natura...

Travel Insurance

After reading this article by Donald Saunders, I thought I would share with my blog readers. He gives a little bit of food for thought on Travel Insurance . When travelling to Varadero Cuba I did get travel insurance just in case. You might get bad food, catch something down there and then you will have a large bill to pay on the way back. So sit back, read the article and comment on what you think about taking out Travel Insurance .

Cuba Resorts teach Merengue

At the resort I stayed at, Arenas Blancas , during the day they would always have entertainment. One of their favorite types of entertainment they would perform is dancing for the crowd. The Cuban dancers would then call up people from the crowd: adults, children and anyone who wanted to come up. They would then begin to show the steps of how to dance Merengue . They would teach the merengue lessons to the visitors and all in all was very exciting. The performers at Arenas Blancas were always happy, and always full of energy for their time teaching. Learn to dance the Merengue while your Cuba All Inclusive Vacation runs on. Regards, Michael Kralj Grab some lowcost web hosting , and have your own Cuba Resort web site!

Cuba Cars

In my trip to Cuba, I learnt that Cuba keeps many old classic American cars in Cuba and drives them around. When I took my excursion to Havana, Cuba , I was taken on a tour in an old American Car. Here is the Car I was taken around in: Christopher P. Baker has made an excellent book featuring pictures of many of these Classic American Cars in Cuba. It is titled Cuba Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles . This book has received many great reviews: "Yes, we've all seen great photos of classic cars in Cuba--but this book will make you swoon. Your knees will buckle, and you will become feverish with desire to get yourself to Cuba as soon as possible. Magnificent." James OReilly "baboone" "Chris Baker is the preeminent travel writer covering Cuba today. His guidebooks for National Geographic Traveler and Moon Publishing are biblical Baedekers for anyone traveling to the island. "Mi Moto Fidel," his book-length journey around the isl...

US Travel to Cuba - A Guide for American Travel to Cuba by Sarah White Are you an American wondering how or if you can legally visit Cuba ? Join the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have experienced the thrills of visiting this exciting and exotic destination legally. Americans can travel to Cuba legally if they are a Cuban American, politician, journalist or if you have a research project that is about Cuba. Others including students, religious groups and humanitarians can apply for a license from the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). However, having said this, did you know that... Between 100 000 and 200 000 Americans visit Cuba every year while only some 6000 licenses are being issued in a 1-2 year period! That means there are a lot of Americans who are going without the government's permission. If you are someone who wants to exercise their right to travel freely, and have been dying to see why the Canadians call this destination their...
