Before I get completely sidetracked, I want to get in a quick post on Airport Inn in Piarco, Trinidad. Getting to Carriacou from New York required two plane changes—one in Trinidad and one in Grenada. We opted to overnight both coming and going in Trinidad. Because Port of Spain is quite a haul from the Trinidad airport and in light of our inbound itinerary (an evening arrival into Trinidad and a very early departure to Carriacou the next day) we researched hotels in the immediate vicinity of the airport.
We were lucky to come up with Airport Inn. Doubles run $90 (singles $70 and triples $105) and the rate includes airport transfer and breakfast. The inn is run by Sita Singh, a very friendly tourism industry veteran who is happy to share Trinidad tips and information. Rooms are super spotless, and the airport is a three-minute drive away. The route to the airport is even walkable, though the road wasn't designed with pedestrians in mind.
I'd recommend Airport Inn to anyone with an early morning flight from Piarco.
