TrinidadCarnivalDiary mentions my blog! Yay!

And that fact is worth mentioning cause one: any publicity (that's hopefully positive) is good, and two: that blog post (or her blog itself, TrinidadCarnivalDiary.com) drove a lot of visitors to MY blog recently and that's always great since she's a Trinidad carnival veteran and doesn't have to give any recognition to us newbies!  Thanks Saucy for reading AND posting a positive review about it!

This pic just SAYS carnival to me...can't explain it!

P.S. she had also given me a great review when the blog was even younger, fresher, greener...here!

Trinidad Carnival Diary's Photos - The Budget List - Semi or All Inclusive Fetes Under 500.00TT... (1)


FYI!

Per TrinidadCarnivalDiary's Facebook page: "Flip Flops March Thursday March 3rd. Tickets $425.00, ladies special two for $600.00. Semi Inclusive with free drinks and cutters. Venue Maracas St Joseph. 2pm to 10pm."

Looking like a winner to me...nice alternative to the $1,000 TTD GMB! (Gentlemen's Ball, being held same night, check TrinidadFeteTickets for more info!)

Updated Complete Fete Schedule from TrinidadFeteTickets!

And, from TrinidadCarnivalDiary's Saucy, here is more info on UltimateLime fete going down at the Hyatt March 2!  Looks like the perfect way to kick off my carnival after stepping off the plane that night!

Purple items below are recommended by TrinidadFeteTickets!

From reviews so far on Gentlemen's Ball (the new fete added for THURSDAY before carnival), looks like I might need to check that out over TRIBE Ignite?  We'll see when prices (or at least deposit amounts) are out!
