    Cuba! The boom is already beginning. Don't wait for my TR, just get up and run! Feel free to ask whatever you want in the Cuba master thread, there are at least five DDFers who've been there already. I for sure will help you out as much as I can.

    Just make sure to let me know before you go, I have $80 worth of CUC to get rid of ;).

    Re. Iceland, I'm afraid there's one more preparation post coming before the trip itself begins :P.
