I'm ready to take you to Havana and beyond, Tony. I've been there several times already as a traveling artist. I even have the perfect fixer down there! Havana, Pinar del Rio, Santiago, etc. All the hot spots and quiet spots (away from European tourists) off the beaten path.

Great call! My Mom is from Santiago de Cuba and all I know is that it looks quite beautiful. You cannot go wrong with Cuban food either! Tony, if you do go to Cuba... try the sites off the beaten path. No offense to those from Habana, but there is much more of the country to see!
