Soaring Into The Heart of the Hemisphere


(page 1 of 7)

Spring has fluttered away, and autumn’s annual gift of unsightly barren trees only means one thing—winter is upon us. But before Mother Nature brews another healthy portion of her special wintery-mix, it’s time to escape. Buenos Aires sparkles in the sunlight and radiates at night. Within a few glances, you’ll see that Caracas’ natural beauty is its charm. At the tail-end of the Caribbean island trail, Curaçao has a melodic blend of cultures. Whether in the rum shops of the capital city, Port of Spain, or in the beach side villas of Mayaro, an unspoiled rural outpost on the island’s east coast, Trinidad has the perfect balm for weary travelers. Turks and Caicos is a lover’s haven.

    We slip back into the Southwest quietly, going exactly the speed limit after having just gotten our second speeding ticket in a month in Colorado, where cops don’t appreciate our California plates. My wife and I are on a two-month long road trip, a delayed honeymoon—the honeymoon we would’ve started the day after our wedding if I hadn’t wrecked my car a week before on the Bay Bridge coming out of Oakland. All that stands between us, and our home in Long Beach, is the red cliffs and flat desert of the Southwest.

    As with most sibling pairs, Trinidad tends to outshine Tobago as a premier destination for bliss and bacchanal. Trinidad’s Carnival, Trinidad’s Steel Drum Bands, Trinidad’s Rum Shops, Trinidad’s multi-ethnic mélange of beautiful faces—how could poor little Tobago possibly compete? Well, ultimately the answer to this query may lie in the expectations and desires of those fortunate enough to grace Tobago’s shores. Quite simply, what do you expect your journey to the West Indies to yield?
