Oh yeah, curious how much cash per day we should plan for. Obviously we want to bring more than necessary. Seems like $100/day oughta be more than sufficient.

And what about food recommendations? I've heard the best deals and service are in Casas. Any in particular we should seek out?

Mike, Just sent you a PM and then saw you previous post.
The Hotel National is worth a visit in late afternoon. The bar next to the lobby ooze’s history and the Mojitos are very good. Daiquiris are not as good as the surprisingly delicious ones served at La Floridita. Mojitos and live music in the outdoor seating areas and we may never hear from you again :^)
Hemingway’s casa is well worth visiting. Allow 3-4 hours. Take the ferry from Old Havana and then a cab to PaPa’s house. Return via cab and get a wonderful taste of everyday Cuba. You heard right about the food-wish I could recall the names of the places we chowed down at.
Cheers
