Have a great trip!

Some suggestions:

1. People WILL try to scam you. Beware of randoms approaching you on the street with "Hello friend! Where you from?" etc etc.

2. Tropicana was one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. It's a bit expensive and touristy but it's one of the few pre-revolution entertainment venues still around today. The dancing, the costumes, everything about it just blew me away. Best bass player I think I have ever heard, just fuckin outstanding. Make a point of going if you can.

3. Veradero is not worth going to IMO, don't bother it's just a bunch of boomer Canadians.

I think you'll have plenty to keep you occupied in Havana. Since the economic "liberalisation" a few years back there's now plenty of really good restaurants catering to tourists, if that's your jam, otherwise I'm sure you can find plenty to eat with the locals.

Bon voyage!
