I can't remember exactly where the Cayman Islands are, but open up the map, or search for an airport in the Cayman islands. Simply create a flightplan with the route you want, using whatever type of navigational aids you want for waypoints. It's not that hard

As for getting shot at, this is a flight simulator, not a combat flight simulator

From what I could find on Google I guess it is possible to overfly Cuba but with a whole book of regulations and restrictions especially if you intend to land there. You also must file flight plans with the Cuban authorities or you might get shot down. It's happened to a group who fly in search of Cuban refugees trying to leave on rafts. They penetrated Cuban airspace without proper authorization and Cuba shot down two airplanes.

Here's a website with some info on what's required:
