I’ve finally decided to be free, emancipating myself from this mental slavery And just becoming the woman God created me to be Now it all makes sense This chocolate-covered beauty should reveal God’s majesty Why wait for the world’s recognition, when my creator is waiting in keen expecta…

Saturday morning started in a rush.....  We were supposed to be on the port from 5:30 am and after a late wakeup and other dealys, we got there by 6:30 am (I never see what that time looks like on a Saturday, cuz I'm always still asleep  lol) so of course there were a million car…

Visiting T&T in 2008 was one of my most memorable travel experiences. I had some Bake&Shark,yummy doubles, a whole lot of snorkeling and an insanely good time.

    I've been here a couple of times before, but this is the first time I've come for more than a few days at a time. Trinidad isn't what one would think of as a tropical paradise, but it has its charms nevertheless. Just don't come thinking that you'll do anything in a rush (other t…

Well since I'm from here, I'm biased, but this country despite its rough exterior is full of culture and beautiful sights to see.  The two islands together make one country, but they're so different from each other.  Trinidad is more industrial- businesses, oil and gas etc. A great nightl…

I was backrolling into the water before most of you were rolling out of bed this morning!back tracking a little… When I pulled into port at Scarborough, Tobago it was at night. I hate arriving in these foreign cities at night with no place to stay. (The whole day trying to buy a ferry ticket and …

After the Thursday night drama (or non-drama lol), I made sure to arrive early at Woodford Cafe on Friday. 7pm sharp!!! Mark sent me an email describing what he would be wearing that night so I printed it and kept it. Wouldnt want the same thing to happen again, would I? lo…

In 2005 I went to Tobago with my then boyfriend. Landing on the small airport runway lined with palm trees with lush vegetation and the bluest skies I thought, i have landed in paradise and my opinion didn't change at any point in the week I stayed. We stayed in the Half Moon Blue hotel which w…

    I got to the airport, checked in, and paid my departure tax (about $64 US!) then went through security as normal. The international terminal has lots of shops on airside, but not cash machines. Why this is an issue will be explained later.We boarded the plane and waited for a whi…

Hummingbirds, waves, conch shells, beached boats, rum, and all the jetsom of this beautiful island...

Right so before it all becomes a hazy memory and Istart wondering if it ever really happened I betterright down my experiences in blissful Tobago.As soon as we landed we were greeted by a powerfulhumid heat. It was around 5pm and still it was over 40degrees. We took a cab to our hotel after exchang…
