Our luck – our ticket to Tobago, T&T

It wasn’t like we knew much about Tobago up until 3 years ago. But it all changed on a cold-icy day, in January 2013, when Cezar told me about a competition he heard about on Twitter and that we could win two return tickets each, to different destinations in the Caribbean or US, if we were to go to Victoria Station (London) and just play a game. Didn’t believe it at first, but “what do we have to loose if we go and check it out, right?”, we said to ourselves.
     Said and done!
The competition would last for 7 days. Each day we would go to Victoria Station, wait in the queue, play the game and on the 6th day one of us finally grabbed a pair of tickets after winning the game.
What was it that we won?
Two return tickets to Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago. We never won a trip before and not only that, but we have never been in the Caribbean, let alone on this tiny, little island called Tobago. We were extremely excited. And because the tickets were given away by a well known airline, there was no doubt in our minds, this was genuine.

Once we had the tickets, we started doing some research on this island, in which we haven’t actually shown any interest, up until that point. You see, until then this would have been (at least these were our thoughts, at the time) a sort of expensive trip to just think: let’s go to a Caribbean Island for a 2 weeks holiday. So we never considered going there. And if we could have chosen from all of the islands in the Caribbean Sea, I doubt Tobago would have been the one. Unlike Barbados, St. Lucia or Dominican Republic, this is not so advertised, therefore maybe not so popular.

But how lucky were we to win the tickets there and not anywhere else?!
As you will read more posts about our experience on this small island, you will realize that it is such an amazing and still unspoilt place, that you will hardly be able to resist not to go and experience it for yourself!
