RijkdeGooier Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I might be able to attend. My friends, my Amicigar buddies, B-day 15/11, the encuentro and Irish Embassy are all very tempting 1
AbuAmelia Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 If I'm still alive by next November, I'm there. I wouldn't miss another opportunity to hang out with a bunch alcoholics and Duck eating people. LOL! 4

nav4040 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Canadians took a massive hit on hotel prices starting November 2015. All of the hotels in Cuba wrote their contracts in USD, instead of CAD. On top of this they did not adjust the rates for the currency change, so $100cad was contracted as $100USD. Instant 32%rate hike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Casa's are the way to go for the time being but even there are some concerns. Ensure you stay in touch with your booked casa regularly.
Guest Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Maybe it's the pessimist in me..... however, I imagine in time to come many of the less honourable establishments won't honour bookings if they work out they can charge more due to excessive enquiry at a higher rate. I see people turning up to their hotel / casa only to be turned away when they arrive to check in - "disculpe Señor, no puedo paracen su reserva"

slick702 Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I am interested. Can you put me down for 2 guests please?
jat Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 OK I'm sure I've seen a post confirming the 12th to the 18th of November 2016 and Rob saying there would be PDF of the week up on the forum soon, but can't find any trace of it. Confused... This trip is on the bucket list, and I'm going, wife or no wife (she's still stuffing about with end of year leave from work). It must be a guy thing, see it, decide on it, go, no more thought required after that.

LordAnubis Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 He said Quote The AmiCigar – Friends of Habanos week has been confirmed for the 12th to the 18th of November 2016. Our Aussie contingent will be there from the 11th to the 20th and quite a contingent it looks like being!I will have the PDF of the week up on the forum tomorrow and I hope that as many as you as possible will be able to make it to Havana.
MrGinger Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 There are 6 of us so far from Vancouver, Canada coming down. We are booked Nov 12-19, and are all staying in Vieja. Looking forward to hitting a few of the FOH activities and meeting you all!
Habana Mike Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 We've booked accommodations for the 11th-20th so far and probably staying a little beyond that. Seriously hoping the dates are right and they don't give our rooms away to some visiting dignitary or another..... Would be great if Havanafest Pinar del Rio weekend starts the 18th! 1
El Presidente Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 The PDF is complete and will be up asap. Because we are working with AmiCigar we just need to do a copy in Italian and then co-ordinate the release. Won't be long. My tickets are booked 11th to 20th of November 4
Habana Mike Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I've got an Italian translator if that will help
