Trinidad and Tobago enjoys a warm tropical climate, tempered by the north-east trade winds. The average daytime temperature is 29º C (83º F), with maximums in the mid 30s. The wet season is from June to December, but rain usually falls in short, intense bursts, and most days have lots of sunshine. The early months of the year are drier.

With so many peeps gone for the weekend, we'll probably have to hold it off.

That was a blitzing round!!! It's over already, and the one who didn't check in was DragonSleeping. Can't really blame him, though. The round only took a few hours! :grin:

At any rate, Checkpoint 2 is over. Good work, guys!
