How much money - Cuba Colonial

[mommadoc]

We are from the states and won't be able to use credit cards. Probably get Canadian dollars because we were told less of a charge to change into Cuban money. (Right?) How much per person per day? We will be there a couple days early.

hi mommadoc, have been wondering the same thing as well. from what i've read on lonely planet's thorn tree, food is not all that cheap? i guess i'm thinking $100/day for the two of us. what are you thinking? deb&pat

I spent around £1000 for three weeks - I took all cash - because the ATM's dont work whether they are American or otherwise. Very wise to just take cash. I like to party however!!
