We were up before 3AM to get ready for our 4AM ride to Piarco International Airport. Actually, we were awake much before that! I think half of Port of Spain had gathered in the room next to ours around 7PM, and the party got wilder and wilder as the night wore on and the booze consumption increased. Despite the noise, we were able to doze, but woke with a start at 12:08AM when they started banging on pots and pans -- or at least that's what it sounded like. I called the front desk, and the hotel security quickly shut the party down.
Our Wesjet flight to Toronto left late, so it was a tight connection at Pearson. And some wet snow meant our Westjet flight to Halifax had to be de-iced. But we landed just a few minutes behind schedule. Our kind friends, Jim and Lorna, were there to meet us and drive us home.
Curacao, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago provided a wonderful triangle of Caribbean experiences. Kaieteur Falls and the Caroni Bird Sanctuary were two highlights of the trip we won't soon forget.
Thank you for tuning into the blog! Happy travels.
Actually, here's THE last photo! Pam excitedly unpacked her small steel souvenir drum from Trinidad and has been learning a few pieces for her music class at school. I think it takes her back to the Island! 🤣
