i dont go to the gym because i lazy.........once you do a reasonable amount of cardio yuh will be good.........im limited to riding a exercise bike and elliptical machine @ home..........sit ups and push ups..........stretches.........key thing for the road is to consume a ridiculous amount of water......especially if you drinking like a fish...........only the strong will survive....its mind over matter.......if u dont mind.....the pain wont matter........I haven't decided on a band yet and I dont post it on here because people are insane......including me

-organize your transportation well in advance especially if you are going to Pier 1 or Beach House or some fete not in town
-budget extra time to get thru customs when you reach
-budget extra time to pick up costumes and tickets (something will not be available or will be wrong)
-bring all your receipts for everything in case something is wrong with your tickets or costume
-use lots of sun block on Carnival Monday & Tuesday
-if you aren't able to get in the band you want hang out at the mas camps or tip the hotel attendants/front desk folks to look out for you when a costume becomes available

fetes like customs, soca monarch girl power, machel pnm, Eyes wide shut, Een de Mas have the majority younger crowd

with the exception of probably Salybia (someone feel free to correct me) most of the fetes are either a good mix or heavier on the younger crowd, Salybia you do tend to see an increase in the older generation, but I still think the fete is boss!!!

Hey been to Caribana, and the BK carnival in NYC, but never been to TNT... Going in Feb, and it's serious business I see... I'm gonna be in Island Ppl band, but the Fetes are confusing...

There are lists but can someone please answer the following questions:
1. Which parties don't run out of liquor and don't have 30 minute lines if i do the all inclusive thing?
2. Which parties don't run out of food or serve small ridiculous portions?
3. Does the VIP thing really matter (heard mixed reviews)?
4. Which parties have the 'prettiest' ppl (lol, it's relative, I know), or maybe just the most 'fun' I'll take either or :-)?

Bottom line, I just like having a good time with fun ppl, doesn't have to be inclusive or not, just as long as i can wile out a bit... All these Fetes don't have real reviews.... PLEASE HELP!!!
