Trinidad and Tobago, here I come!

8 years ago

Hi All,

I'm counting down the days until I call Trinidad home for 6 months. Born in NJ, and currently working and living in the DC metro area, I'm thrilled to be dodging the winter months. I've been following this forum for about a year now, and in that year I've visited about 5 times. During those visits I've gained a pretty good understanding of the culture, people, and way of life.
In the mornings I will be working remotely for a few hours, and then babysitting an adorable 1.5 yr. old girl! If anyone else happens to need a last minute babysitter, please feel free to contact me. I was a middle school teacher prior to being a sales professional, so I have experience with children and the US gov't has my fingerprints!! LOL :). In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to my visit and liming with other expats as we navigate a foreign country and culture.

Also, I have sprint in the US and will temporarily suspend my service. Does anyone know how the sim card system works for an iphone?

Thanks in advance for any feedback and encouraging words. Please don't take this opportunity to tell me how negative TT is (TechRep, I'm looking at you! :)).
