Please recommend a travel agent

I am planning a vacation to Cuba within a month. Since I have never been there, I have no idea where to go, where to stay, and for how long. Can anyone who has been there give me some advise please?

I have done some research, and feel like to take the The Varadero Palace vacation package from GoTravelDirect for $1299. Is it a good deal? Also I would like to go to Havana for a couple of days during the trip. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!


By the way, in May, I am going to Banff Park for a few days. Any suggestion? I heard there was a train that I can take from Calgary to Vancouver, which will go acoss Banff Park, is that true? If so, how do I get on it? Thank you again!

Cuba is boring unless you are a beach person.

For Canadian Rockies only, this one is very good in price. You will stay in hostels not hotels.

Moose Travel Network will take you from Rockies to Vancouver.

If you are Canadian or US visa holder, find time for these two tours which have covered the best part of North America.

If you don't have enough time, you can still find short ones from the same site. Note there is a link about last minutes discount, and most of the tours are camping in small group which is cool. You only need to take sleeping bag.

You can either book online or through agency. No difference in price. The Flight Center on 1st floor of Bayshore Shopping Center can book the tour and of course flight for you. Make sure to mention the discount if the tour is under discount, in case the agent is unaware of it.

If you only have Chinese passport, you can still find similar tours in Maxico from the same company.

ohhh, you should pay me.:lookaroun

life has been busy, need a place to rest. I figured lying on a white sand beach should be a way to go. :-D

About the rockie tour, if it was not with my Mom, I would definately take it. The amont of challenges seems worth to try. I love that type of activities in the wild. I will do it on another time.

Thanks for your info, lala!

Anyone else?

Cuba还是绝对值得一去的,不说沙滩海洋,阳光雪茄和音乐,就是心里也老觉得和古巴很亲的感觉,都是共产主义国家,卡斯特罗也是我们从小一直都认为的英雄.你如果一个月内去的话,还正好可以赶上5月1日卡斯特罗亲自在人民广场的讲话,在Havana,人山人海.

如果去Havana的话,一定要去Old Havana看,那里有一些旧式建筑,还有Malacoon (也许拼写不对),其实就是一个很长很长的海边的长堤,就在街的旁边.别的一下什么也想不起来了.不过气是在古巴,任何一条街道都散发着古巴独特的味道.Varadero是一个纯粹的度假胜地,外国人很多,一定要到别处看看才能更深刻的体会到古巴.

我上回去是和学校一起去的,也没有在旅馆住,所以不大了解价钱的情况,不过我有一个朋友4月15日要去,也主要是在Varadero待,我可以问他一下关于价钱和住宿的问题,明天在回复你.
