The most important 5 days are:
Thursday - Glow Friday - Foreday morning (our jouvet) Saturday - Insomnia / 10 to 10 Sunday - Cohoblopot Monday - KADOOMENT Tuesday - Fly home You need to stay in the south coast - One straight road to town, beach, fete, spring garden. Does that help? |

www.Kadooment.com is the site everyone uses for the info about mas bands, fetes, etc. But if we're lucky Miss ST will come through with pic of px4 (www.powerxfour.com) thats the band we mainly play with.
For jouvet, I just jump behind something and keep it moving, but then they also have a fete on the same day down at Tims on de highway, last yr Krosfyah played there while the rest of us was getting down and dirty gine down de road. |

Also check Baje Int'l (http://www.baje-intl.com) another costume band. Last year they had a predominately Trini section. I know I had a ball on the road w/ them
 .As for accommodations, definitely look at the parish of Christ Church... |

Worthing, Rockley, Hastings - thats the general area, they have atm machines, banks, 2 supermarkets, 1 mini mart, lots of beach, internet cafe, Chefette's, Barbeque Barn, Chinese food, Bubba's Sports Bar, Lucky Horseshoe (killer fish cakes), Club Extreme, px4 mas camp, beauty salons, gas stations and duty free shopping along this road.
If you go further up in the direction of Miami beach (on the bus stop it will say "away from town" you will find St Lawrence Gap which is another local hotspot with various restaurants, bars and clubs. |

No, everything is spaced out, they're not next door to each other, but its just on the same stretch of road which is worthing main road. To see everything that I've just described would be at least a 45 minute walk, depending on how fast you can walk in the hot sun! |
