Trinidad, Jamaica, Atlanta, Toronto, Miami carnivals in 2013 |
Rank in order of awesomeness is pretty obvious:
(1)
Trinidad
(2)
Jamaica
(3)
Miami
(4)
Toronto
(5)
Atlanta - but don’t get me wrong Atlanta
carnival is very awesome and I always decline offers to travel out of Atlanta
during Memorial weekend because I can’t miss carnival. I will even be missing
my family reunion next year because it’s during Atlanta carnival weekend and
there is much carnival work to be done in Atlanta.
The 2014 carnival forecast is Trinidad, Jamaica, Atlanta,
Barbados and Miami. Pretty sure Ima take
my daughter to Panama the week of Houston Caribfest so that’s out again. Then
again she’ll be 17yrs old so I guess she could go alone if I prep her to answer
the customs questions in Spanish. lol
I find it hilarious that in 2011 I told myself I was doing
Trinidad carnival one time and one time only. Here I am prepping for my 4th
trip to Trinidad carnival. For those
that ask why one time only… the price tag!!!
I think in 2015 I’ll go to Panama carnival instead (Panama, Trinidad, Dominica
and Mardi Gras are always the same timeframe), so I don’t go frekkin crazy when
everyone is flyn out and I’m staying home. For those that are thinking, “I
wanna go too!!!” HAULT!!! I don’t know
what they do in the capital, maybe it’s just like the carnivals you are used
to. I am not from the big city, where I’m from it’s not “Bikini Mas” no beads
& feathers. It’s a traditional carnival,
probably only enjoyable to those that are from there. After working so hard on my diablo Halloween costume
& doing the background research & watching Youtube videos, I look
forward to spending a carnival back home. Plus my car will be paid off early 2015
so I have an excuse to travel more.
Muahahaha
I leave you guys with my long time carnival anthem and I’ll
see you guys on de road in Trinidad 111 days!!!
So now when I say “Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready” you guys can chime
in like my homies do and finish the sentence!
I cant wait to enjoy 2014 on d road with you my compadre!! Great illustration!!
