Bring Me Some Concept - Going to Trinidad Sept 1

16 years ago
Hi folks

I'm a trini living in Kansas City MO and like any of you who travel back and forth you get requests from everyone to "bring me something".
I'm floating the idea of taking requests from folks in the states for items they'd like me to bring back
