Oh, I forgot to mention - Bay of Pigs, very historical and interesting place. IIRC you could actually see the bullet holes in the rocks which sort of put a things into place a little better.
Havana is obviously worth the trip, but one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my travels (as I mentioned before) was taking a cab into a small town (don't remember which one, but it was about 40 min from Varadero). I'm not a real big fan of beaches, so going to a non-tourist town was the highlight of my Cuba trip. See if you can find a store where locals buy stuff.
Water - as far as I recall, water was not an issue. (I got sick in Mexico too) But, the guava juice was really good and I got that every meal; and uh, for about half the trip, I was drunk. Free booze, what can I say. Also some advice, 2 cubans and your regular tolerance of vodka (or any alcohol) = bad experiance. Do not recommend.
