Nylon Pool Tobago
The Nylon Pool in Tobago is a must visit place if you are ever there. This trip is one that will help you see the beautiful coral reefs that take years to form in our lovely sister isle. To get to Nylon pool, one can either get on a glass bottom boat from Store Bay or Pigeon Point Beach, and you don't even have to search for the booth to book your tours because as you get to the beaches, hustlers they will approach you with much enthusiasm. However, they try to give you prices that are based on how you look or your accent, but a good way to get good prices is to either state that you are going with another person, or present a counter price and bargain your way to a better deal.
The nylon pool has been a protected marine park since the year 1973 and the trip is suitable for all ages. There you are able to see about 40 different species of Coral at the Coral garden, which is a natural feeding ground for tropical fishes that are brilliantly coloured. Upon reaching to the pool, you are able to get out of the boat and swim or walk around in the metre deep water which so happens to be in the middle of the ocean, but it really is a beautiful sight of paradise to just let all your worries and troubles go away.
But ladies and gents I am sorry to inform you that this would be the last post for some time, but I do want to thank you for your support and assistance in making this blog what it has become so once again, until next time, keep cool, stay safe and be awesome :) !!!!!
Night Life in Trinidad
So if you are like me, I am one who truly loves their country and all that it has to offer. In Trinidad, there are endless things to do and see at night. There are things like visiting the Look Out on the Lady Young, going to Queen's Park Savannah (the largest roundabout in the world!) to enjoy an array of foods from gyro to soups of all kinds, coconut water and snowcone. But these activities are enjoyed best when in the company of good friends where you can have a good time and just laugh whilst enjoying the views.
However, if you are looking for a calmer evening then I would suggest you arrange a girls night out and just enjoy each others company. You can go to dinner at various places, but if you are looking to partake in some scrumptious foods and a really nice experience then places like The Town, Chaud, and Aioli is for you. My preference is always The Town because of its lovely setting and food that is always good and pleasant staff who would do anything to make sure that their customers are happy.
So once you've had dinner and you and your girls or guys are still not in the mood to go home, then Ariapita Avenue is the place to go. Here you can find everything from clubs and restaurants, with everything else in-between. This area really comes to life around 11pm and doesn't stop until about 4am each and every weekend, whether rain or holiday, people ALWAYS there!! So if you are up for an adventure then I suggest you grab you crew and head over for a night on the town. But until next time, keep cool, stay safe and be awesome!!!!

Travel Tips #3
Tip #5: Keeping Your Boarding Pass
If you are someone who usually throws away their boarding pass, then I suggest that you abandon this practice, this is said because it is proof of travel to this new country as well as a way to document the proper credit for frequent flier miles, but it is also essential if one is self-employed or in relation to tax purposes.
Tip #6: Contact Your Bank
It is usually a good practice to visit or call your bank and let them know of your plans to travel and where you are going so that your ATM card can be utilized there. This can be done so that any fraudulent charges made to the said card can be blocked.
Tip #7: The Six Month Rule for Passports
The expiration date on one's passport allows for travel until such a time, however, the only country that permits travel up until the date inside is the United States but several other countries will deny entry if the passport expires in less than six months. Reason being, if a person is stuck in another country for longer than intended, the country wants to know that you will eventually go back to your native country.
Tip #8: Check foreign documents requirements
In certain countries like Kenya, India, and Chile, they all require a visa for entry. However, in places like South Africa, they will deny a visitor if he/she does not have a passport that contains at least two blank unstamped pages, thus it is imperative that such things are known before traveling. One can see a complete list of regulations here.
