Sorry I should have said Trinidad, not T&T. I would have liked to visit Tobago. But the purpose of the trip was soccer and that meant Trinidad. Maybe next time I will stay a few extra days.

Robi, I think you can be fairly sure Morrow’s list is very similar to mine. we did discuss it. I just can’t quote him ahead of FCD doing anything.

Umm Buzz, the luxury beach resort thing is in Tobago. That’s the tourist destination of the country, some of the best caribbean beaches, forests, coral reefs, etc. Trinidad is for business, oil, petro chemicals, financial services. Too bad you only saw Trinidad, Tobago is like another world.

Buzz:
Chipped in like I usually do because I really do enjoy your reporting; however, I wish you had been able to convince Morrow to give us some tidbits of information about players, etc…. Maybe, just who he liked, his top 10 players… stuff like that.

In my experience T&T is not the place to go if you are looking for luxury beach resort. It’s not a place to be pampered.

T&T is the place to go if you want a great mix of old and new, a mix of four different cultures, and a place to meet and mix with locals. It’s varied, fascinating, beautiful and ugly all at once.

Oh, and places to check out next trip: Manzanilla beach (the drive for miles on flat land, through a grove of coconut trees with the sea right next to you); Paria falls (via a secluded beach then up into the rain forest); Asa Wright Centre (popular birding and nature site); Pitch Lake (the world’s largest natural lake of pure bitumen/asphalt); Toco (some nice views including the cliffs up there); Caroni Bird Santuary (see the red Ibis come home to roost at dusk)

Um, Buzz, there are other places to get stuff to eat at Piarco airport, you just needed to go upstairs….lol And for the record, KFC in Trinidad tastes nothing like what’s in the US. Trust me. There are even groups on facebook dedicated to the beloved KFC Trinidad!

Jack, I was fascinated by the mix mash of cultures. I had no idea there was an Indian population in T&T. The mixture of influences and ideas makes Trinidad a fascinating place. A truly enjoyable experience.
