No travel is done without a Lonely Planet travel guide. Honest! And yes, I am a Lonely Planet travel guide junkie. We had started been planning our holiday in 2009/10 so my old Lonely Planet’s guide to Cuba HAD been updated. Bonus I purchased Zoe Bran’s book ‘Enduring Cuba‘ too. Woot both were on special too!

Being a LP book junkie I have to say the new format of these books with colour maps a real bonus. My eye sight is not as good as it used to be and those old B/W maps were getting too hard. If you are not sure if LP is for you, try one of their sample guides in eBook format.
