TIPS:

* Visitors are advised not to travel with valuables (including jewelry) and to venture out in groups only. Stay away from dark and isolated places.

* Wear comfortable shoes. There is a lot of walking involved at Carnival time.

* Carry ID with you, including your address while in Trinidad and Tobago.

* Try the local cuisine from the roadside vendors; just remember to look for the food handler's license.

* Check the newspaper and local Web sites daily for a schedule of events.

WHERE TO STAY: During Carnival season, a room at the Hilton, Marriott and other major hotels in central Port of Spain costs about $300 to $500 per night. Most deluxe hotels book early, but last-minute travelers hoping to jump into the action this year may be able to snag a basic room in a guesthouse for $200 to $300.
