Story By
Carmy Joseph | Prime Minister Patrick manning made a surprise return to Trinidad and Tobago Wednesday, less than a week after undergoing surgery in Cuba to remove a malignant tumour in his left kidney. Manning, accompanied by his wife, hazel, returned on a private jet provided by the Cuban government and was met on arrival at the Piarco international airport by the acting Prime Minister Dr. Lenny Saith.
The Prime Minister later told reporters that the cost of the surgery at the Cimeq hospital, where he had valve replacement surgery in 1998 and had a pacemaker inserted in 2004, would be met by the Cuban government. He said that he had been receiving free medical treatment in Havana since 1989, while explaining that the Cuban government was not showing any favouritism to Trinidad and Tobago since it had a similar plan in place for other Caribbean countries. During the news conference, manning took the opportunity to show reporters the surgical cut on his left side and also thanked the members of the national community for their prayers during his stay in Cuba last week. |

Tobago was "discovered" in 1498, when Christopher Columbus landed on its shores. In reality, it had already been "found" and occupied by the indigenous Amerindian tribes of the Arawaks and Caribs.
Tobago was once ruled by a myriad of European powers, including the Spanish, Dutch, French and British, and was decreed a British colony in 1814. Tobago achieved independence in 1962.
Tobago, along with her sister island of Trinidad, are home to the two-day explosion of color, pageantry and abandon that marks Carnival. Come join in the parades and dance to the hot Calypso and Soca music that fills the air. |

Adventures In The Caribbean ~ Tobago, Trinidad and Grenada ~ by John Spampinato - Port of Spain, Trinidad wasn’t a preferred midnight arrival point to begin with, made less inviting given the stifling heat even at that hour and the sham we were offered that was supposedly a car, in actuality a dysfunctional little affront to the senses. It struggled up hills, ignored a heavy foot on the brake peddle, and often refused to start - shortcomings that didn’t give us pause until after we’d spent the night in the thing having followed what started out a legitimate highway far out in to the countryside until it had diminished to only the suggestion of one. Still, the night air was magic and its blackness total once I doused the headlights out on some desolate unpaved turnoff having given up trying to figure out where we were. |
