What kind of dress code should we pack for?

Dress is generally very informal in Cuba, in large part due to the tough economic times faced by the broad population.  You do not want to stand out too much. In general, clothes should be on the informal side.  Shorts and T shirts are okay during the day.  Clothing for evening is informal, and you may want a light jacket, sweater, or shawl. There is a pool at the hotel. Comfortable shoes are a must for walking on cobblestones.  Please leave good jewelry at home.  As supplies are not readily available, remember to bring sunscreen, hat, sunglass, and an extra pair of “readers”, mosquito repellent, soap, camera, Band-Aids.
