We're baccccck! After 10 days in Trinidad/Tobago from late September through the first week of October. For our fifty year of marriage celebration, 10 days of birding at Asa Wright Nature Center and Cuffie River Lodge on Tobago.
Some general comments, never felt any threat of any kind but they say to stay out of Port of Spain unless you're looking for trouble. We spent one night there but didn't leave our B&B except to eat late lunch/Dinner at place recommended by our hosts.
This is the rainy season but we have very little rain except at night and one day on Tobago and that was a rain!
Asa Wright NC had great accommodations and the only complaint was too much lamb and bar-b-que sauce, they put it on all meat but plenty of vegetables. Drinks other than the rum punch which was gratis were very reasonable.
Cuffie River is newer and the rooms show it, food was excellent and varied from seafood to lamb with tons of vegetables and salads and no bar-b-que sauce. Drinks were the same except no rum punch but beer and wine were cheap by US standards, about US$1.50.
Tobago has better roads than Trinidad which were not bad for the most part.
Next issue follows shortly.
