<p> Climate and Clothing: Summerweight clothing is worn year
round. The dry season usually lasts from January to May.
</p>
<p> Customs: Passports and visas are not required for US visitors
who plan to stay up to 2 months; proof of US citizenship, photo
ID, and onward/return ticket are required.
</p>
<p> Health: Wash fruits and vegetables carefully and do not drink
water from an unknown source. Tapwater is potable, however.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Telephone, telefax, and cable services
are reliable, of high quality, and readily available. The
state-owned telephone system was modernized in the early 1980s,
and international direct-dial service is available to most
subscribers. There are two radio stations (state-owned National
Broadcasting Service, and privately owned Radio Trinidad) and
one state-owned television station with two channels (Trinidad
and Tobago Television).
</p>
<p> Trinidad and Tobago is on Atlantic standard time and
therefore 1 hour ahead of Washington from October to April and
on the same time as Washington from April to October.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Trinidad's Piarco International Airport is
served by several airlines including three US carriers. Air and
coastal steamer connections to Tobago are available from
Trinidad. Taxis and rental cars are available on both islands.
