Trinidad is a wonderful place. When Panday left, things seemed to pick up. As with most British colonies, it was better run when the Brits were in charge. It USED to be the place for all Hollyweird to go during the Forties. Trinidad was also a place where you had people from every sort ethnicity, and mind numbing combos of each. Things went down for awhile with intro of American culture of rap and the Nation of Islam tried to gain a foothold. Too bad. Trinis are still British, esp. my mom. The only thing to look out for is islam gaining a foothold in the vacuum of the absence of the Brits.

I hadn't heard that about Islam. However, from all the great things I've heard lately about Trinidad, I really would like to visit there. I've been thinking about writing travel stories. Most of the ones I've seen in the newspaper Travel sections are notoriously dull so I would like to write funny and interesting Travel stories that don't look like I'm flacking for some travel agency (ever notice how most travel stories look that way). Anyway, if I do figure out how to work the Travel writing gig, Trinidad (and Tobabo) would be towards the top of my list.
