@pointboy Nice, nice, nice! Thx. Would you kindly provide info (a URL, a phone no.) for island home rentals? I would like to send that to a Trini-UK friend, living in the UK, so he could treat his Cdn-Trini cousin & family, now retired in POS, to a few days' stay 'dong de islands'...
Hello from Canada! I spent a week on Monos in May 1961 as a child. Remember lying on the warm dock gazing down through crystal clear waters at the colourful little reef fish. Magic! So nice they're still there. Thanks so much for bringing back those lovely memories and happy retirement to all!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video , it's nice to go someplace wid friends and enjoy the time away from the hustle and bustle. That's what I call a retiree dream .😊🙏🇧🇧🥃🍹
Lots of lovely memories are resurrected and brought back to full and vivid life for me with this video. I spend a LOT OF TIME 'Down De Islands' at various homes on Monos and Gasparee as a child and a young teenager born and growing up in TnT. I left the country of my birth FIFTY YEARS AGO for a wider experience and broader view of this planet! The homes back in those days were much more rustic and very basic. There was no electricity and things were a lot more rugged and rudimentary. I always enjoyed my time DDI though - the fishing, the swimming, the liming, the whole atmosphere. The country has changed a whole lot over those intervening years and decades - some things for the better while others - like crime and the cost of living - for the worse. But there will always be a great feeling of relaxation and comfort and freedom that emanated from being close to the sea and with the smell of the sea salt in the air. And the passion for 'Trini Ole Talk' will live on forever - especially if those gathered are 'FIRING A FEW'! Thank you for sharing your video Point Boy. I too am retired after a long, exciting and well travelled career as a United States Army Officer now in 'relaxation mode'. Cheers! All the best to you and your loved ones as well! 😍 🥰
What an absolutely fantastic video. I learned a bit about Monos Island which I was curious about. How very enlightening. Never knew about Monosè Whaling history or that everything has to be brought in. You retirees are doing it right!! Enjoying life and the relaxation of retirement. Now I am even more interested in visiting there with my family one day!! I have only been to Scotland Bay but now I have something more to dream about!! Excellent video!! Keep up the good work!!! From a Trini in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
Mr.Point boy, You did put some water in my eyes here,i love this and did share with some family, for the youngsters (De here's & Tardeau's) may not have any idea of the cotton and so forths,i did also heard you mentioned the name 'Andrew' to the youngster in the video,Grand dad was also "Andrew De here", mind you the "De here" family is a very large family with all their offsprings,the place looks great and well kept an the tranquility is still there,on the opposite side should be at that time called "Lovers Bay" where Dr. littlepage had a nice hide out with a perfect view an tranquility.I had great childhood memories off the islands and your voice and coverage puts a special touch to this video compared to some other videos i have viewed, Well done and i will view your other videos.."first i have to stop this water running from my eyes" Stay safe,Godbless.
What a nice surprise to find this content. Happy to see a long-time childhood friend enjoying well deserved retirement fun. Brings back many great memories of the few vacations we enjoyed Down the Islands. Keep well, stay Safe and Healthy.
@@pointboy12 Happily retired as well in 2019 (in Houston), with tons of plans to travel. Then Covid happened!! We are looking forward to starting our delayed retirement plans. Hope to see you when we finally get back to TT.
The thing is we Trinbognian travel outta Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 to many different parts of the wider world 🌎 but when you ask us have we ever been to most of our 5 islands 🏝 the majority will reply NO & I'm also guilty of this...But before I retire I will like to visit the other islands as I visited monos before & yes I found it to be scenic,quite & relaxing just what the Dr.ordered 😃
Didn't start out to watch the entire video but ended up doing so. Very interesting indeed; I was able to now relate to some of the islands & landscape, as I travel to Tobago & back by ferry. Very relaxing & enjoyable trip it seems. Would really like to acquire a group & attend - maybe from church or past colleagues 🤔 How can one reach you to organize?
I am glad that you found the video interesting. My videos are about activities that I engage in with my friends and to encourage people to explore all parts of Trinidad and Tobago. As such I do not operate a tour group.
I remember going to Gasper Grande I think it was called 🤔( I might be wrong ) back in the 80s for one day. When I return home to retire one day definitely on my bucket list.🇨🇦🇹🇹
I been there with the Fatima scouts we stayed at the house at the very corner of the island. There were a lot of see steps k, I met a couple called villafana.
Great vacation video and the views were spectacular. You guys are really enjoying retirement... kudos. Did you mention that Monas was once a whaling community? Who knew that Trinbago had such a rich marine history. Thanks and this now goes on my bucket list.
Hello guys, can I have contact of the person in charge of renting this property for me & my Family that's living in Trinidad. would like to book it for a few days when I can come home for a few days.
It is a private home that we obtained through a referral from a friend. There are other rental homes and you can find some of them on this site - trinidadandtobagovillas.net/ddi.php

Nice video - a 'look see' to figure out if that is for you or not - not me!!! Too much effort required...good for a retreat or for parents to 'escape' young children!!!
I do have a waterproof camera for underwater video but the scenes did not come out good. I have to practice some more with it to master it before I go Tobago to do some underwater shooting.
Did this video contribute to your knowledge of Monos Island and did you find it enjoyable?

Wonderful. I'm enjoying watching you retirees knockabout, and, pointboy, I like your radio voice. Smooth, man, smooth. 🙂
The voice comes from all the times when growing up that my mother told me to speak properly.

Yes I did mention about the whaling in the scene when we were going along the side of the island. Thanks for the compliment on the video.
Nice ,I would have liked to see beneath the water
Unfortunately I could not get the camera to function properly
Sweet 👍 Great spot
Thanks

What’s the name of the Villa you stayed at ?
It is a private home that a friend got the use of.
How can me and my retired friends get a weekend there?
It is a private home that we were able to obtain through a referral from another friend. There are other rental properties down the islands and one site is trinidadandtobagovillas.net/ddi.php

The house in the video is a private home that is only rented through referral.
@pointboy
Nice, nice, nice! Thx.
Would you kindly provide info (a URL, a phone no.) for island home rentals?

You can look at this site. There are also other sites on the Internet. trinidadandtobagovillas.net/ddi.php
