And Deelow, thanks for the advice on Cayo Coco. I was actually looking at that because I hear the snorkeling's incredible, but I can't go to Cuba and not see Havana. btw how's the snorkeling in Varadero? Any reefs or anything like that to see?

Theres some snorkeling and diving...they take you out by boat to an island close by. Not the best...Cayo Coco would be best for that or Holguin...but Varadero is best beach and good location.
We always take stuff for the Cuban Kids and Maids. Go to the dollar store and get stuff there. If you leave the Maids a buck and a few goodies they will be extra special to you...LOL
We take school supplies to the towns nearby and drop them off at the schools. They are very warm and wonderful people...FAR better than Mexico or the DR.
There are also groups that will have you take medicines if you like...just check some bulletin boards and they will hook you up.
Debbies site is the best for reading actual reviews on the resorts, TripAdvisor is ok.
Oh...dont forget to drink LOTS of Cuban Rum! For $6 or $7 you can get some great stuff. Make friends with the bartenders at the beach and get a connection to buy cigars...Cuban Rum and Cigars...man I can taste it now!
