GLENDALE, Calif. - May 25, 2017 - PRLog -- For Americans, Cuba has been the forbidden fruit—a skin of Detroit sheet metal covering a center of tasty rum, swirling cigar smoke and sandy beaches.

Pointed prose, and over 200 pictures, tempt you to take a bite out of major cites and nibble on hidden beaches.  Unvarnished opinions, with a uniquely American perspective, guide you to ample accommodations, fine food, stirring sights and sizzling salsa.

As in Larry Stein's three other books in the Traveler on a Rope series, '4 Americans in Cuba,' targets value options for readers with cash flows wider and thicker than a shoestring.  Well-traveled author Larry Stein outlines the planning process that he follows, and documents the details of the trip itself—including specifics about lodging, costs, shopping, dining, and transportation. Stein explains how to do all of this affordably while still enjoying comfortable accommodations, good food, and realistic travel options between destinations. Stein's style is conversational, friendly, witty, and honest. His own photographs—over two hundred of them—enhance his engaging story.  As with the other books in the series, 'Southeast Asia on a Rope:  Thailand and Laos,'  'Southeast Asia on a Rope:  Cambodia and Myanmar' and 'Bangkok and Chiang Mai on a Rope,' Stein provides just enough history to place sites and culture in context.

The first part of '4 Americans in Cuba,' provides a thorough overview of how to plan and prepare, including: meeting United States requirement for travel to Cuba, researching flights; vaccinations and traveler's insurance; dealing with insects; acquiring a visa; and what to pack. The rest of Stein's book provides information on where to stay, eat, shop, and sightsee with special emphasis on food and lodging in Cuban homes known as "Casa Particulares."

Stein shares details about his satisfaction (or not) with his accommodations and meals (he provides photos of both), and he is not shy about his proclivity for the abundance of food offered by street vendors. His itineraries include stops at cultural and historical sites, and his photographs—churches, landscapes, children, musicians, food, and drink, illustrate the beauty and history he encounters along the way. "Pictures are worth more than a thousand words—they are key for me in deciding destinations and accommodations," says Stein. "I culled through my many photos to provide a useful resource for my readers."

Unique among travel books, Stein wanted to share the knowledge he has gained in his forty years of trip planning that other sources seem to be lacking.  This is the same formula he used in his recent book, 'Bangkok and Chiang Mai on a Rope.'   "In tailoring my own vacations, I found glitzy magazines aimed at the 'cost is no object' traveler, and a suitcase full of books for backpackers and flash packers," explains Stein. "The 'traveler on a rope' fits neatly between these two extremes. Anyone considering a trip to Cuba will benefit from the tips and insights in this book."
