Cuba Is An Excellent Vacation Destination

Trinidad, Cuba
I spent 2 weeks in Cuba during the end of March and the beginning of April. It was my first time there and had an excellent time. Now a days you are always worried about your safety, but no worry in Cuba. Even with my camera equipment I never felt anything but safe. The Cubans are used to a lot of tourists as it is their #2 industry. (professional services is #1) Walking around a town they do not pay to much attention to you and just go about their businesses. All the younger Cubans have at least their high school education, which is a lot better than us. In fact the parents go to jail if their kids do not go to school! They are friendly and not so hurried that they can’t stop and talk for a minute. No worry about pushy salesmen and beggars either, as they are all clothed and feed. The kids sometimes try to suck you in, they are all nicely dressed and feed also. (can’t blame them for trying) When you go to Cuba bring a bunch of Care Packages including, pens, notepads, bic razors, soap, shampoo, pencils, coloured pencils, it does way better than tips.
It not a really cheap place to go as you are their main source of income and they have learnt how to set the tourist prices. You do get good and educated service for your money though. The beaches are beautiful and the sun warm, don’t go in the summer though. Hotels are all over the place, no problem there.
I recommend Cuba to vacationers of all ages, no problem.
