We all know that Carnival, and playing mas is not a cheap love. It's a High Maintenance Mistress, who will bleed you dry! lol
I have this acquaintance who only wants to spend $2000.USD for her ENTIRE CARNIVAL EXPERIENCE, airfare and costume, hotel (10 days, and not at a guesthouse or a room, but The Hyatt, The Carlton etc.), transport, food, fetes, shopping, vex money and all that! Hence the Recession Post
What do you spend on your Entire Carnival Experience?
I am in Trini for a month staying in a hotel, lol, playing frontline, attending all major all-inclusives, plus I travel to Tobago stay at villas, eat, drink and rents a car...I won't even say what I spend! Lol..it is a bit criminal though
ReplyDeleteIt's too much to tally. Fortunately I live in Trinidad (thank God i don't have to pay for flight or hotel) but I am NOT one of those ppl who think that mas is the be all and end all of Carnival. I must hit my fetes! (and all inclusives at that). I dont care if its the same thing i see again and again. of course i have to outfit these fetes, and trust me, these outfits dont run cheap! So fetes, clothes and costume really comes up to quite a bit!
