Hi guys, It's been a while since I've been on myLot, so I'm pleased to see this platform still very active. I feel like since I've been inactive for so long, practically three years, this is almost like an introductory post. How's everyone? Nice to meet y'all again! How are you all coping? Me? I'm back in my home country, Trinidad and Tobago, and with all the travel restrictions and implications as a result of COVID19, it might be a while before I travel again. So that's a bummer... But I am thankful to be alive and to be healthy during these times. Other than that, it's Carnival season in these parts and traditionally at this time of the year there would be lots of parties and festivities and... well... gatherings. In the Caribbean, Trinidad enjoys top spot, if I may say so myself, as the hub of festivities when it comes to Carnival celebrations- traditionally. But, again, there's COVID, and there's none of that this year, though there is talk of reviving a Carnival of sorts. We'll see. To me the idea of a Carnival with restriction or, as the administration calls it, a safe zone Carnival is almost like being made to drink tepid tea when you're accustomed to enjoying it piping hot. I'll pass. The music, though, is great, as is always the case. You can't listen to Trini soca without feeling to shake a leg. I swear. I listen to it in the morning. Get up, get ready for an early trip to the gym or a run in the park, put on my headset and I swear it injects the right amount of energy to start the day. Besides this, I find comfort in the fact that restrictions have been lifted on our beaches, because trust me, there's nothing better than finding an isolated strip of beach, relaxing in the shade with your favorite book, and heading out for a bath when you feel like it. Well, that's me guys. How about you? How have you been?
