Trinidad and Tobago 10'

This weekend just had to be one of the best weekends I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. Honestly every minute of it was perfect and there was absolutely nothing that made it bad! Maybe because I was relaxing in Trinidad and Tobago instead of doing what I do every other day! Unfortunately with the ocean between Trinidad and Orlando we were not able to drive there so we had to take a plane, I’ve been on a plane many times in my life but I’ve always proffered driving simply because we’re on the ground, and I get to be the pilot. Those are just the two main reasons that don’t include the fact that everytime I ever go on a plane there is always a crying baby who wont seem to be quiet! Then theres the fact that about 98% of the time you are always sharing a row of seats with a complete weirdo who is also an armrest hog! Needless to say all of these happened to me on the flight there, but its okay once I got there everything magically got better. The vacation started off just like any other vacation did, we got our bags off the rotating belt and made our way to the taxis so we could hitch a ride to our hotel. We were staying at one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever been in. The Carlton Savannah was just an elegant environment that couldn’t be beat. All of the marble floors and modern art makes you feel like you’re in a completely different world and you don’t want to leave! Other than the weather we felt a warm welcome into the hotel with the ambient lighting and design. We set our bags down and quickly rushed out of the hotel to find everything that Trinidad and Tobago had to offer us. That part wasn’t hard at all, it was almost like we couldn’t avoid finding fun things to do! Everywhere we went there was something that caught our eyes and made us want to do. The thing we were most interested in was the beach! Every time I go to a beach I always do all of the activities they have. When I say all I’m talking everything I mean banana boats, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and unfortunately this beach didn’t have much fishing, there was however a small child who was catching the same fish over and over again with a piece of drift wood, scrapped fishing line and a paper clip hook. The night started to come in and we were getting tired but since we were only in
Trinidad and Tobago for a few days we had no time to sleep! We went directly to the hotel showered and we were out again! We went to a nightclub called “Sting” nightclub where we met a ton of new people, we were truly amazed at the difference between this night club and every other nightclub we’ve been to in the United States the music was original and everyone seemed so excited and energetic throughout the whole night instead of getting tired at around 1PM! Its almost like these people didn’t know what sleep was! The energy from the people in Trinidad was keeping me awake! That night I went to sleep like a baby! I woke up the next morning in a great mood but I had to go shopping instead of sleeping in because I didn’t want to hear anyone complain about not getting a gift when I return. I went to a little place called Fredrick Street which was lined with shopping malls, street vendors and tons and tons of pedestrians. I usually like to buy hand crafted things from locals rather than buying mass produced things from stores because there is a sense of originality with
every piece. I bought almost everyone I knew something from the chain of mobile vendors who walked the street back and forth all day trying to make a sale that way everyone was happy. The same day we went to check out a museum to learn more about Trinidad, boy were we entertained none of us knew that such a small country had such a rich and vivid history. After the museum we went to the hotel and got all our bags packed for the flight in the morning. We made it home to start our everyday lives all over again!
