Hi Marc,I'm pleased that you are not as uptight as you were before your last trip!
Yesterday turned out to be a real scorcher with no further rain.At carnival by 430pm it was unbearably hot and humid---yet thay were still wining and jumping like crazy.
Today started a little overcast but has now cleared up nicely-- so fingers crossed that my last week will be glorious and dry.

Age mellows and all that ;-) Although to be fair I hadn't been away for 8 years before the first Tobago trip, so I was hoping I'd get idyllic weather to make up for the missed holidays!

I'd still prefer no clouds - rain is fine (pun not intended!). Either way, at worst, it'll beat being here :)

Hi evertbody,well just 7 more days here until November :cry: :cry: .
Yestewrday stayed quite fine all day.Today is quite glorious-there is alittle cloud on the horizon in the direction of Venezuala and looking at the sat pictures it seems as if we are between two weather systems--let's hope it stays that way!!

Hello everybody.Paul's forecast is on the mark,there is a covering of very high broken cloud drifting across from Venezuala and it is very hot and humid,at least here in Scarborough,but it is not raining and doesn't look like it's going to.
Must get ready for England to give Ireland a thrashing!!!!!!

David - PLEASE don't ask Paul to intervene other than to ensure we get good weather for our next trip in May. I just wish I was there with you at this torrid time for our teams when I could buy you a Carib to help you get over Saturday and then you could buy me a Carib for me to get over Saturday also. Sorry to bore you Bill on all this talk of English / Welsh Rugby.
Anyway David enjoy your last few days and keep having fun. By the way have you heard or seen Giselle or His Highness the Big Boss :?:
Neil :wink: [/b]

Hello Neil & David,

No problem, for a while I thought you might be talking about soccer or even cricket, but rugby falls under my definition :P

David, enjoy your dwindling time in paradise and down a last Carib or two for us poor souls here in the cold.

Bill

Hi David

No sign of 'big black monsters' on the sat loops ... nothing significant ... just signs of moisture.

A narrow band of showers has developed to the north between Tobago and Barbados.

Hi David,

We've had a big black monster over us for about a week now. About the only time the rainy drizzle clears up is in the evening when the temperature drops and it turns to snow :cry:

Never mind Bill,I'll be in similar conditions on Friday :cry: .

Well travelling back tomorrow with Sir Dick's so if I can I'll make alast post tomorrow morning.Bye

Hope you enjoyed your holiday as much as I have reading about it. Have a good flight and don't forget to take a wooly into the cabin with you
Enjoy your last few Caribs on the Island and get one off the shelf not the fridge so that you remember what warm beer tastes like
Cheers Neil :D

seems like yesterday when you pulled up with your fancy rental car here in csatara with a suitcase full of goodies for the kids, ready to play santa claus in the village.
hope you got all done, experienced and organized that you wanted and left enough for next time!
guess the counting starts again!
have a safe flight and don't let the black monsters get you!
