Thanks for the feedback! Extra credit to anyone who can help me identify the Canadian friends I made at LCDH. All I know is that they were named Herschel and Larry, and were lawyers from Toronto. I didn't think to ask if they were on the forums. More info and a pic in the post.

Thanks for posting that, Rusty. Brings back lots of memories from our trip in 2012.

Our trip started in Havana, but we visited Santa Clara, Remedios, and Cayo Santa Maria (stayed at another all inclusive there), Pinar Del Rio, Vinales, etc, and took the train ride, made most of the same stops you guys made.

Looking forward to more from your blog. Like you, the trip only made me want more of Cuba. My wife, not so much after two days in the Habana Libre without hot water, and catching a parasite we named Juan because he stayed with her for three weeks.

I hope I can get back again there some day soon.

Yeah! The guy from Israel said they had a game similar to quimbumbia back home. So cool that you met up with them too. Small world!

Sorry to hear about your wife. My wife was pregnant during the trip, so we were worried about her getting sick, but luckily things worked out. I've noticed a lot more P2P trips that stay in Havana now. If any of those are based out of Spanish owned hotels, you shouldn't have any issues with water or power. I won't be able to travel for a while with a newborn, but I've already started talking to my wife about the jazz in Havana P2P.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll get day 5 up tomorrow, which will be of particular interest to y'all since it includes a trip to a cigar factory, and tobacco farm. In the meantime, I have a scotch tasting up on the blog if anybody is interested.
