Ive lived in Havana full time since 2002 and it is WAY easy to get away from any tourist hordes. in fact, I sometimes miss them since I don't get much opportunity to speak English. If you're headed over or thinking about it, Id like to recommend my brandy new iapp Havana Good Time - this will take you places you've never dreamed of! To quote one well traveled TV host: "I love this place Conner! There's not a " yuma" in sight!" Check it out on my website. PS - simple to travel via a third country but OJO: expensive Let me add my two cents – Cuba is wonderful!!

If you’re headed over or thinking about it, Id like to recommend my brandy new iapp Havana Good Time – this will take you places you’ve never dreamed of! To quote one well traveled TV host: “I love this place Conner! There’s not a ” yuma” in sight!”

When you arrive, just ask the immigration officer not to stamp your passport, and that's it. I read a lot of people talking about how the tourism destroy the "secret" places, but Tourism is a great industry, and for the visited country, is very good money. It generates employment not only in directly tourism related companies, but also for services and products this companies need. Here in mexico, after the shine flu, everything is very slow and we are really waiting for the tourist to come for the Holidays. There is no problem for traveling to Cuba via Mexico.
