Cool thanks. Got the currency sussed...I think... Some great pics and stuff on that link :-)

I was going to say you forgot the kitchen sink, but you didn't. Looks like you have *it all*...worked out ^_^.

Your going to love the people there, especially once you get away from the touristy areas.

Have a great time.

What country do you live in? I'm waiting for the US to ease travel restrictins to Cuba.

I meet many Americans in Cuba. They arrive usually through Canada or Mexico and the Cuban officials don't stamp American passports so there is no proof of entering or leaving. The Cubans are wonderful people.If you go takes lots of soap and toothpaste as there are shortages and they make great gifts.
