Guest Olar Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Have any of you Canuck Geocachers heard of any caches being placed in Cuba? Going there soon for a vacation and plan to take my GPS unit along regardless. Hope their customs inspectors don't find it and think I am some kind of spy or something! Quote Link to comment

Guest Fish Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 It might be a good idea to contact their embassy and ask them first... I dont think that seeing your mug on the news is the type of advertising that geocaching wants! 8) Quote Link to comment
halldorr Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I hate to bring up this REALLY old post but I was wondering how this turned out. I too am going to Cuba soon and notice that there are no caches there... Quote Link to comment

As it turned out we ended up going to the Dominican Republic which had no problem with GPS units but no caches there anyway. Have a great trip with or without your unit. Olar Quote Link to comment

+Couparangus Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I'd like to go to Cuba sometime just to add it to my list of countries conquered - and also to see all the old cars, I'll be honest. In any event, many friends and co-workers have visited Cuba and the following themes seem to be common: - it ain't cheap there any more - everyone is looking for a tip or handout - tourists get to pay more (much more) than locals - don't take anything valuable as it'll disappear - everything you pay is rounded up to the nearest US$ Have fun!

+Zartimus Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Hehehehe. I like that last post. For some reason, at my wife's place of work, when you visit Cuba on vacation, you get to have a debriefing afterwards. Fun. And remember that song from Seasame Street. "The person with the AK-47 is a person in your neighbor hood, in your neighborhood...." Go all inclusive and stay behind the walls. Quote Link to comment
halldorr Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Yeah we did go all inclusive...so at least now I don't feel obligated to learn Spanish Quote Link to comment

Tango (& Cache) Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 y'know, I was just planning vacation and was wonder this myself. I found this on a cuban government site: http://www.aduana.islagrande.cu/comones3.htm I AM CANADIAN Quote Link to comment
McKenzie Clan Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I like that, "Don't worry, if you show up with it we will hold it for you." GPS, whats a GPS, we don't remember you leaving a GPS here? Bye bye... Scott Quote Link to comment
boreal jeff & sons Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Geocacher: Sir, I've come to claim my GPS. I have all the right papers. Cuban Customs Agent: GPS what GPS? (as he extends he right hand, palm up, and makes buttering motion with forefinger of the left hand) Geocacher: Okay, I get it, well I won't have any of that crap. I want to speak to your supervisor. Cuban Customs Agent: (a look of fear and surprise drape across the agents face, followed by a frown of anger) Are you an American Spy? Geocacher: No, I am not. I am a proud Canadian. Cuban Customs Agent: Are you a terrorist? Geocacher: No way. I'm a Canadian tourist. Cuban Customs Agent: I think you're either an American spy or a terrorist. Guards, take him away!! Geocacher: NO, wait, you don't understand. I'm a Canadian. Get your hands off me.... Ahhh...Ouch....Stop that, it hurts....Ahhh...... ..... Every hour spent Geocaching is added to the end of your life. Quote Link to comment
