Advice for Cuba (hexbear.net)

Dear people on this website, I'm strongly considering going on a trip to Cuba soon alone. I'm a decent Spanish speaker and an American, wondering if anyone has any good tips or advice for the trip. I know I want to see that ice cream shop that fidel was obsessed with.

Thanks in advance!

Make sure to stay at Casas if you're not going on a tour bus!they're cheaper, preferred, and an easy way to exchange your USD to CUP. Btw bring a TON of cash into the island (and a suitcase full of medicine if you can, the communist party can direct you to the best clinic to bring it to). I'd say 1k per week of free cash to keep things easy and flowing and get yourself fun trinkets to fill the empty medicine suitcase. Imperial core cards and banks refuse to operate in Cuba, so do it all before you're on the plane!
