Just off the west coast of Trinidad there are also several much smaller islands that are frequented by nature loving vacationers who don’t mind trading in the Hilton/Hyatt for a more rural, nature-trail experience. I was lucky enough to visit Gasparee Island and as the pictures tell, it was a very relaxing mini-vacation. Called collectively ‘Down The Islands’ by locals and frequent visitors, this type of ‘adventurer’s experience’ is definitely recommended.
Part of my perpetual professional ethic to work hard is that I often forget the ‘play hard’ part of the original saying that brings balance to this equation for a good, well-balanced life. For the last several weeks, between job hunting, re-associating with old business contacts, blogging about local events of interest to me and other geek-related activities I realised I was falling back into my workaholic habits, covering at least 6 days for the week without any leisure activities.
Thanks to my good friends, I’m reminded that this a habit I have no shortage of company to help break. Many birthday greetings to my friend Aaron, whose birthday bash led us to ‘Down The Islands’ in the first place, and to my carpooling buddies Marc, Ahmad, Matthew and Talya as well as the host of new friends I made who made for excellent company during this mini-vacation.
