HAVANA, CUBA 3 BEsts!!!

I have had the good fortune to travel to Cuba on two occasions: the first a slight blur because it occurred during the late 80s when I took few photographs and did not write anything about my trip.  To date I have a few solid memories only; the second trip took place in March of 2015.  I have photographs as well as written memories.  But I am hoping to take a different type of trip in 2017; ...planned is a tour of over 2 weeks with a group with the allowance of my staying longer and traveling independently.  I can't wait to make specific arrangements in conjunction with this trip. 

But I write and post the following based on some reports which I've read by a few men at this blog/site.  In their reports, which have been rather interesting, indeed, they indicated that finding good places to eat while traveling solo was difficult.  Well, in the future, consult http://www.tripadvisor.com and find relevant information regarding restaurants and cafes, etc.  Also, in your wanting to dine in good, yet inexpensive places based on our standards, go to: http://www.cubaexplorer.com/best-of-cuba/restaurants; do the same for bars as three gay/gay-friendly clubs have been posted by not designated as such.  http://www.cubaexplorer.com/best-of-cuba/bars-and-clubs. Do the same for art galleries: http://www.cubaexplorer.com/best-of-cuba/art-galleries.

Go to some internet book stores or well as good establishments and check out the books that are available regarding Cuba.  Buy or see what your library has.  You will not find out about our interests that are contained at this blog/site, but you'll find salient materials to use to enhance your stay whether you're traveling independently or with a group.  Also read what others have written here about their experiences.

For lodging consult http://www.cuba-junky.com as well as http://www.airbnb.com. The prices at the former are in keeping with our budgets.  Prices for independently-run venues on the latter are higher in comparison.

Damn, each day my mind runs away with my intent to return to this largest of island nations that's in the Caribbean.
