Informal approach to travel in TNT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guides to Trinidad & Tobago (Adventure Guide to Trinidad & Tobago) (Paperback)
I've been to TNT once for two weeks and am returning again in a few months. I bought the book to refresh my memory and, more importantly, get me excited about my return trip. It's a great read, and as the back cover suggests, it really is written for the traveler who wants to experience more than just sunbathing. However, once you've been to Trindad and Tobago, you discover that they are not your generic Caribbean islands. Visiting Trindad and Tobago is more of a cultural vacation than an island getaway. Once you step foot off the plane at Piarco airport, you'll never want to leave, or you'll want to go back once every year. The two islands are full of charisma, and O'Donnell and Pefkaros do a good job of capturing this spirit in the book. You really cannot be intimidated by the cultures of TNT. From the street vendor corn soup, to crab and dumplings, "down de islands", Maracas, Pigeon Point, Speyside, fried flying fish, Caribs, lorries, maxis, wining, Trinidad's great bar/club scene, the Northern Range, etc. - this book virtually covers all Trinidad and Tobago vacation opportunities and experiences.

Good book for travelers and daydreamers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guides to Trinidad & Tobago (Adventure Guide to Trinidad & Tobago) (Paperback)
I wish I'd had this book the first time I visited Trinidad and Tobago. The book fully describes the culture of these island people and this knowledge would make a trip to these wonderful islands even more enjoyable. I also believe it's a good choice for readers who can't make the trip but still want to taste the culture.

Poor maps,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guides to Trinidad & Tobago (Adventure Guide to Trinidad & Tobago) (Paperback)
Good information, but lousy, hand drawn maps. Maps were in black and white, minimal detail, pencil drawn.
