In case you didn’t know, last weekend was a serious smallie pump in our sister isle. But, of course with an affordable fare of $100-300 a trip, anybody reachin Bago for some well deserved R&R/Drinks an Kix.
However, lately, traveling to and from Tobago seems to be harder than getting a clear word out of Jack Warner.
With only one boat in operation, and our one beloved airline available to fly us out to Bago, you already know how airport and port lookin.
People standing in airports on standby since 4AM. Port looking like a sell out fete. People cannot find their way back to work in time. No more boat tickets available until July 8th, whyyyy doin it??
So amongst all of the bacchanal and quarrel, as you can imagine, here are some fascinating tips and musings we overheard from our fellow flustered Trinis:
- “CALL KAMLA!!”
- “Bess we build a damn bridge oui”
- “Tell Kamla stop buy weed and buy plane nah”
- “How it go have one f*ckin boat?!”
- “Lewwe jus get a blasted train between the two islands nah”
- “Aye! I openin ah business call Standby, all of alyuh getting flight, who dey??”
…You get the idea. But on a serious note. This has not been the first time that an issue with travel arrangements between our islands has arisen. It is about time that something is done. Some of you may think it’s not that serious, but believe it or not, people don’t just go between Bago/Trinidad to lime. What yuh really feel we could do about this?
