What to Pack for Cuba : Cuba Travel Capsule

Ah Cuba! How you captured my heart! I took a photography course there with my local community college and I spent 10 days discovering Old Havana and spending hours exploring and taking photos. It was pure bliss!

However, unlike other trips I’ve taken it was not quite a “vacation trip” because I didn’t plan it myself and to receive credit for my elective I had to do all the activities planned for the group and complete photography assignments. Some of the itinerary activities were clear but there were also some open spots where the activities were TBD. So this gave me some fuzzy parameters for creating my travel capsule. In situations like this, even after all my travel experience I get anxious and I feel tempted to PACK ALL THE THINGS!

After doing some research on Cuba, most of the recommendations were to make sure and bring everything you could possibly need (including things like tampons) because some of these items aren’t readily accessible. This did not help my PACK ALL THE THINGS mindset. Also, traveling with a group means I can’t just spend 30 minutes on an excursion to track down a replacement for any items that I might have forgotten. In situations like this, planning ahead with worksheets and packing lists is essential.

Oh and to make the packing situation even more challenging I brought more camera gear than I usually pack-all in my carry-on! I brought a tripod, a Joby gorillapod, my heavy Canon 7D DSLR, a point and shoot, and a go pro with accessories.

The capsule presented here is a very close representation of what I packed. I went in the summer but since it’s a very tropical climate this capsule would work into fall and their “winter” as well, just add the appropriate layers. As always check the weather first and base your capsule on items that work best for the climate during your travels. I would add a rain jacket to this capsule if you go during the rainy season and switch out one of the shoes for a waterproof pair.


Light Grey Cardigan, White Tank, Sleeveless denim button down, tie front gray tank, floral maxi dress, off the shoulder black top,knot linen top, black tie waist shorts, palm leaf pant similar here, quick dry cargo pants, floral wrapover skirt, Ecco Damara Sandal, Jambu Aruba Sandals, Nike Tanjun Tennis shoes, Packable Straw Hat, Round Straw bag, Tote, swimsuit, Coverup, Gold Flip-flops.

A few notes and tips.
• It is extremely humid there. Quick drying clothes are helpful, especially if you are doing sink laundry as I often did. In this capsule I accounted for 6 tops, more than I would usually pack. I went through 2 shirts a day. It’s just humid and you sweat and it’s nice to have a dry shirt to change into after a day of exploring (and another shower!).

• I did several rounds of sink laundry because I was going through tops and sports bras. So make sure you pack a laundry kit. If you need to know more about travel laundry, read here.

• It’s very sunny and I would recommend bringing a ha. If you don’t want the hassle of bringing a hat you can buy one there cheaply-I bought one on the street for $5 my first night there. I wore my hat every singlet time I was outside during the day. Also bring plenty of sunscreen and remember to re-apply. Sunscreen is another essential that would be hard to track down there so add it to your packing list.

• Body glide is helpful in dealing with any chafing that can occur in warmer weather. I used it when I wore skirts and shorts in between in thighs.

• Comfortable shoes are an absolute necessity! Havana is best seen on foot so be prepared to walk.

• Bring all the cash you need. Most American credit cards are not accepted. I was advised to exchange my dollars to Euros beforehand and then exchanging the Euros to Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC). I exchanged at the airport and then again at the Hotel Sevilla during my trip. Which incidentally, is also a lovely place for a morning cappuccino, especially with live music in their lobby.

• I found myself getting headaches the first few days because I was dehydrated from sweating so much. I found that drinking the fresh coconut water that is sold in the streets helped me with this. If I had known this, I would have packed some Gatorade packets or Nuun hydration tablets to help with electrolyte replacement.

• I’m not a big nightlife person but on the rooftop of the Hotel Ingalaterre there is live music at night and beautiful views.

 

There you go! I could write a mini-book about Cuba. But I will just keep it to helpful packing tips for now!

☀️It’s been a summer full of sweet memories!
In magical San Miguel de Allende, I toasted to another year with friends . ❤️ Celebrated another year of marriage in Austin, Tx. 🌄 Took a refreshingly cool pause in Santa Fe on the way to pick up my son from his Rayado Trek in Philmont. 

Back home, we’ve loved hosting get-togethers with friends and serving up some bomb asadas (if I do say so myself!) using recipes from “Asada: The Art of Mexican-Style Grilling” by Bricia Lopez🌮🔥. We’ve cooked our way through most of the book this summer and I’ll have to do a recap of some of our favorite recipes. I also finally got to the see The Pixies, a longtime bucket list band! And did you even summer if you didn’t get sweaty on a dance floor or have a sidewalk dance party?!

☀️Despite the extreme Texas heat, quiet early morning poolside coffees ☕ and evening swims 🌙🏊‍♀️ were my saviors and reminders to slow down and enjoy those small moments. I’m sad summer is fading but ready for cooler weather and a new season 🍂.

Drop a 🌺 if your summer was filled with sweet moments too!

⭐️Austin, Texas, has always held a special place in me and my husbands hearts since our college days🎓. Just a 3-hour drive from Fort Worth, it’s our go-to for quick getaways. This trip was extra special as we celebrated our anniversary ❤️.

STAY 🛏️:
Carpenter Hotel-This historic gem, with its warm terra cotta brick and lush gardens, feels like an oasis in the heart of Austin 🌳. Our minimalistic room came with a balcony overlooking a beautiful pecan grove. With plenty of lounging spots @carpenterhotel the shaded patio and poolside 🏊‍♂️ were our favorite spots. 

DO 🎶:
Finally ticked off watching Honky Tonk hero, Dale Watson, at the Continental Club on a Monday night 🎤. 
🌊Instead of heading to Barton Springs to cool off, we took a slight detour to San Marcos. There, we enjoyed the San Marcos River, spring-fed by the Edwards Aquifer and a refreshing 72°F all year round. 💦 
🛍️We also took a quick shopping stroll down South Congress ☀️.

DINE 🍽️:
🍳We kicked off one of our days with a delightful brunch @tillerykitchenandbar . I chose this spot because it had a beautiful view of the Colorado River, making our meal even more special. 🍳🥂 
✨We indulged in a relaxing poolside lunch with cocktails at the Carpenter Hotel. 🍹🥙 
🎊The highlight, however, was our anniversary dinner @dipdipdiptatsu_ya. Not only was the dining experience unique and memorable, but the staff also added a heartwarming personal touch with a signed anniversary card. Look out for a detailed recap on that meal coming soon! 🎉🍛

[PACK] 👗
For a sizzling Texas summer (hello, 100°F days!), here’s what I packed:
 🌼 2 dresses 
	🩳 1 pair of shorts & breezy pants
	🎽 2 tanks, 1 Mexican blouse & a multi-purpose long sleeve
	🥿 Comfy Teva hurricanes for daytime, @tecovas booties for night
	❌ Cowboys boots in this heat? Maybe not!
Given the scorching Texas summer, packing light layers is key 🔑. With temps around 100 degrees, be prepared to change outfits through the day🥵!

What’s your favorite thing to do in Austin? Share in the comments below! 🎸🌮

🤩"Maybe we should just quit working, sell our stuff, pull the kids out of school, and see the world" 🌍, "OK". That was a discussion my husband and I had about 14 years ago. And after that, we set everything in motion to make it happen 🛫. It didn’t happen overnight , but over the course of less than a year we prepared for a move to Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷. With hope 🌟, a bit of anxiety 😬, but tons of excitement 🎉, we sold our home 🏡, sold many of our belongings, packed up, and explored South America for four months, then landed in Thailand 🇹🇭 for a month.⁠
⁠
Imagine us with our two boys 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, then ages 9 and 4, navigating Buenos Aires, our home base. We dived deep into the culture 💃, sipped yerba mate, played in parks 🌳, stood in awe before the Iguazu Falls 🌊 and the Perito Moreno glacier, met penguins 🐧, mingled with gauchos 🤠, and even survived a 24-hour bus ride 🚌! ⁠
⁠
Between adjusting to a small apartment 🏢, navigating life as an expat, managing curious and energetic kids, and realizing that my Mexican Spanish 🇲🇽 wasn't anywhere close to the local Castellano dialect 🗣, we tried to make the most of each day with its joys and challenges. We also accepted, that some days were just for wandering 🚶‍♀️🚶 and ending up at our favorite place for helados 🍦.⁠
⁠
💫Our adventures taught us so many lessons, but if there's one thing I'd share, it's this: Dreams deserve to be lived 💖. Time is limited ⏳, but dreams, whether big or small, move us forward 🚀. That's the essence of travel for me—it embodies achievable dreams 💼✈️. It might take time, planning, and prioritization, but it's within reach. As a child, I dreamed of going to Paris🗼. It took me 26 years, but I got there 🙏. Now, I've got my eyes set on Ireland 🍀 and further exploring some of my favorite spots I've visited. How about you? Drop a heart ❤️ if your dreams involve travel! What's your next dream destination 🌐?⁠

🤩"Maybe we should just quit working, sell our stuff, pull the kids out of school, and see the world" 🌍, "OK". That was a discussion my husband and I had about 14 years ago. And after that, we set everything in motion to make it happen 🛫. It didn’t happen overnight , but over the course of less than a year we prepared for a move to Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷. With hope 🌟, a bit of anxiety 😬, but tons of excitement 🎉, we sold our home 🏡, sold many of our belongings, packed up, and explored South America for four months, then landed in Thailand 🇹🇭 for a month.⁠
⁠
Imagine us with our two boys 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, then ages 9 and 4, navigating Buenos Aires, our home base. We dived deep into the culture 💃, sipped yerba mate, played in parks 🌳, stood in awe before the Iguazu Falls 🌊 and the Perito Moreno glacier, met penguins 🐧, mingled with gauchos 🤠, and even survived a 24-hour bus ride 🚌! ⁠
⁠
Between adjusting to a small apartment 🏢, navigating life as an expat, managing curious and energetic kids, and realizing that my Mexican Spanish 🇲🇽 wasn't anywhere close to the local Castellano dialect 🗣, we tried to make the most of each day with its joys and challenges. We also accepted, that some days were just for wandering 🚶‍♀️🚶 and ending up at our favorite place for helados 🍦.⁠
⁠
💫Our adventures taught us so many lessons, but if there's one thing I'd share, it's this: Dreams deserve to be lived 💖. Time is limited ⏳, but dreams, whether big or small, move us forward 🚀. That's the essence of travel for me—it embodies achievable dreams 💼✈️. It might take time, planning, and prioritization, but it's within reach. As a child, I dreamed of going to Paris🗼. It took me 26 years, but I got there 🙏. Now, I've got my eyes set on Ireland 🍀 and further exploring some of my favorite spots I've visited. How about you? Drop a heart ❤️ if your dreams involve travel! What's your next dream destination 🌐?⁠
