The islands came under British control in the 19th century; independence was granted in 1962.

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered
Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.

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.

I'll be away for the weekend so i may have to give up. :(
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

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!
