Have a great time, you will really enjoy it! Remember, Maracas beach and the shark shack! I wish I had another layover there, I miss that place! Heads up on one thing before you head there however, you will probably not find live latin music because trinidad is not a latin island. The culture is more geared toward India, with a caribbean twist. The official language is english. Most people there do not speak spanish.

The people however are truely magnificent and accomodating. Some of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met are on that Island. Do maintain caution however, there is a bit of a crime rate in the city, and you have to be careful as a tourist, just like any other place. You will enjoy the layover much, and be sure to get feedback from locals about what else you should experience there.

Eat lots of doubles!!!
