Is anyone travelling from Toronto to Varadero May/June 2013?

Going to cuba staying at playa pesquero, next Wednesday. Had a stroke a month ago but got all clear to travel. Going with my 17 year old and 12 year old, will it be safe and are the Cuban people friendly. Are the medical services good, just a bit worried? Many thanks

I've heard about people going as tourists and hitting some boxing gyms in Cuba...I would love to do the same...does anyone know of anywhere where this can be done?...and does anyone know how much I would be looking at paying?...

Thanks

Do there still do a daily trip to Havana from Cayo Coco and return as a tourist. I did the rip about 5 years ago fully escorted?
Kind Regards

Hi, I'm going to Cuba for the first time and I'm a US citizen but I want to know if its ok for me to exchange dollars to Canadian money at my LA Airport here when I leave and then change the Canadian to CUC and Pesos when I arrive in Cuba. I wasn't sure if you have to have a passport from Canada to bring canadian money. Also, I see someone said you have a max of 50 cuc daily. is that right? Just my rental car is over 1000.00. They're charging me 90.00 daily plus 20.00 plus 200.00 deposit for a Kia Rio, is that crazy???? Yes, I think. I rent here all the time for business and have rented a cadillac or huge v8 SUV like what I own for less than that.... Is there a maximum amount you can bring into the Country? I also wanted to be able to bring enough so my husbands family can go everywhere with us and we can buy groceries and other things they may need. I'm also buying them shoes an clothes to bring for them and since it's my first time I don't know what to expect. We are going through a travel agency in miami since here where we live there's not one that specializes in Cuba related trips... Please any adive and info would be greatly appreciated. we are going for 10 days this summer. Thanks again very much..
