Travelling to Cuba

My sister and I want to travel to Cuba for the Christmas and New Years holiday and I was wondering if it was safe for us to travel alone you know with regards to the hurricane season (if its over or not).
And does anyone know any Qatar based travel agents that could arrange the trip or something because honestly planning this trip has been a nightmare for me!
One more thing, if anyone got to go to Cuba I’d love to hear ur opinion about the country and people, we are planning it as a cultural/ educational tour so we wont be going to the beaches etc, so other than the beaches what do you think of Havana??

Yes, hurricane season is over by December 1. And I'm sure you know that you cannot travel to/from the US to Cuba.

I think travelling should not be a problem. I am not from US but I went to Cuba and loved it there. Specially wine and Cuban cigars. Try it and let me know how you like it.

I’ve been there few times. It’s very cheap from Canada. For all inclusive package (flight, resort, food, drinks, entertainment, services) for 1 week you pay around 500-600 bucks. That’s what we do during the winter: we “break” the winter by escaping to Cuba, Dominica, Bahamas, Hawaii…

So, Cuba.. while you are inside of resort you are fine. Services are good, plenty of food and drinks, entertainment, dance floors, bars, etc. They arrange the tours to the "must see" spots as well , for extra charge...Once you are out to the town, the picture is different. You will see a lot of poverty, dirt and misery. But people are very very nice and friendly. A lot of very pretty, accessible and accommodating girls around. BTW, that’s why single guys love to travel to cuba: cheap trip + cheap gorgeous sexy friendly girls..

in any case you will have a fun, since people there are Fun Lovers.. :)
