Progress is being made and I am on my second island stop in the Caribbean. After many hours of flying over water, I was glad to see land again. Upon reaching the island, I also noticed that the island has lots of wildfires. After landing, I quickly understood why. In addition to temperatures being 91°F / 33°C, it is also the drought season here which means that it is also very dry. Despite the wildfires, I was still able to view parts of this beautiful island.
Though the international airport of Trinidad presented a few challenges and was unlike Aruba, the people of Trinidad are wonderful. My stay here was short, but I was able to speak with the local press (See article The Trinidad Guardian). Upon return to the airport, it took about six hours of waiting around for paperwork and permits, etc. to be completed. I am now ready to fly to my next stop, which is Grenada.
