Summer Fun

Did someone say road trip ?

Undoubtedly, there's lots to do this summer. Although, in Trinidad and Tobago we just have the two lovely seasons rainy and dry. Anyway...as a lover of spontaneity, this writer enjoys just getting into my vehicle, setting out on a road trip with no obligations, apart from having fun, gleefully enjoying the sites and scenes.

Try a cross country drive, or popular tourist attraction- it never gets dull especially with a cool co-pilot. So get your map and set out for an awesome experience.
