TRINIDAD 2004: ONE MORE WEEK
(Feb 12, 2004)
In exactly one week, the 2004 Expedition will leave from different ports of the United States to meet in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Thousands and thousands are traveling this weekend. Elena works in the ER at Beth, she left this morning. Bob, my UPS guy, will leave tomorrow. Leslie wants to go, but she has no vacation time. Carnaval, carnaval time is back. This year, many are making Trinidad their destination.
Carnaval has already started in Trinidad and Tobago. The streets are already decorated and animated. But the fetes, the parties, the tents, the parades will reach their apogee next weekend.
By then, the Expedition will be in.
One more week, one more week, one more week?
