I'm not tired of saying that I just "know what you mean" when I read your stories about my country. Everything that you write is so true, and so much the way I see things that I must say that you really got to know this island to a great extent. And as a Cuban male I confirm that I feel a little bit uncomfortable when foreigners step into "our territory". Can wait to read those totally understandable reasons you'll get into later. Thanks again, and keep writing. Your chronicles about your trip are still as accurate and great as usual.

Advice... you know, Cuba is such an easy-going place that there's not much I can tell you that you won't figure out better on your own. Obviously, bring any medication and non-essentials you'll need for the entire trip, although in the main cities they're pretty well-stocked over there. A tire repair kit, light clothes, good hat, set of warm clothes for night, tarp to cover your equipment in the rain, raincoat, and chain lubircant would be good to carry around too. In casas and most hotels, you can find 110v outlets (make sure they are 110v before plugging anything in!!! as someone first). I had a travel converter with me, but never used it - always plugged my laptop, ipod and phone right into the wall outlet. Hi Dave,

Do you have any advice that might not be in the travel books? also, i noticed you mentioned your ipod shuffle... i would like to bring my ipod as well... but how do you charge it? do you simply need an adapter or something that will limit the voltage from 220 -> 110??? my email is davesteele@yahoo.ca thanks Hello,
