Hi everyone!

We spent our first night in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Monday night at a Marriott Blake booked with his points...Thanks Smuckers! It was nice, although Port of Spain is a bustling, busy town and not very eye appealing. We left the next morning on the ferry for Tobago.

We opted for the "slow ferry" and were told 8 hours. Hmm...so we spent the extra 4 dollars and sprung for a cabin. It was simple and nice to have some of our own space. The ferry itself was a nice surprise with a comfortable deck, complete with a bar where we taste-tested Stag, the second best TT beer. (We prefer Carib.) After only 6 hours, we made it to Scarborough, Tobago where we knocked on the door at Jacob's Guesthouse (9:00 PM) and asked for a room. They showed us to our incredibly simple accomodations for the night. We got what we paid for at $20 a night. We learned that we are able to sleep comfortably with no AC, in super high humidity, with only a single fan for breeze. Guyana here we come! Apart from the roosters, blaring music, tropical birds, barking dogs, and torential rains the night was very peaceful.

We are now waiting on a bus to head out to Charlottesville where we are hoping to spend a week on the most beautiful beach in Tobago, Pirate's bay. We are very excited!

We love the comments and personal E-mails, so please keep them coming! We will post pictures when we get the chance. Love you guys!
